I can DRAW, and I love using my pencil, and pen, and marker and even the odd paint, but you know what?...I can do so much more with a computer using my talents! I am not connected to any tool, whatever tool I use becomes my pencil, whether it is a computer or my cut finger painting with blood! To live in a bubble and not wish to advance your tools if you CAN is neanderthal and goes against the very inspirations and imaginations and aspirations an artist should have. A need to be creative is only overshadowed by a need to find MORE time to do all that creative stuff we have and tools such as these actually make it possible for us to create better and much more and much faster! So don't tell me about how a pencil is better, BULL!! It is just a learning tool and a medium, and so is the software, and some things come with more bells and whistles and functions to allow us to put more of our imagination into our work that we otherwise may not be able to or be limited from doing. Why should I just do only what a pencil or a paint brush allows me to do, when I can do SO MUCH MORE using tools that allow me more doors to open to what my mind can create.
