Which one is better? o.o

I love the control and ability to manipilate with the computer, but I just can't seem to do my pencils without, well, a pencil!

I chose Combined

both!

well i would say both but since i'm so lazy and everything takes so much time and all to ink >.> so i just use the computer :D

Gotta do hand drawn. You can do it anywhere! On the bus, at work, at school. Tablets, well, they're big and expensive.

My experience:

Pencils and layouts: best done in pencil.

Inks: Hand technique may slightly edge out digital one in high end inking - but I feel digital inking is ready for prime time. Either is good.

Colours: between photoshop and Corel Painter - digital is better, faster, easier and best. IN MY OPINION.

They work best when they co-exist in one's artwork. I have grown to appreciate both fairly equally.
Mainly because I've realized that inking seems to be faster and more efficient when done by hand and scanned, rather than by straight tabletwork. At least for me, anyway.

I highly respect traditional work, but personally I prefer the computer to do comic work on. I'm hoping that when I'm in art school (if...not when at this point actually) I'll be able to learn both fairly well. Computer art seems to be becoming more and more popularized in the comics industry as things get more perfectionist.

The problem with my tablet is taht my tablet is 4x5 and my laptop's screen is 17 inch, which, the last time I checked, isn't to scale, at all...

So, sketching is soooooo much easier to do on paper, but I don't have a scanner, so I have to do everything by tablet.

I'd say its important to learn how to use both. I mean, what are you going to do if the power is out? Or you have no computer?

Also, if you do everything electronically, there is no 'original'. A lot of collectors still look for the hand drawn original artwork. Not to mention when I'm at a con, I don't see people sketching on tablets.

But doing things like coloring and inking, a tablet can give you a lot of freedom to try things without ruining said original. So I think both are tools, and both have their uses. And as artists we should try to employ both.

dido on both...i draw pages all the time..in all kinds of places.. had people tell me digital was not truly art. (the local art click is not fond of me) . i figure they have never tryed it or they would know it not just a point and ckick deal...it is sort of like saying whats better oil paint or water color...it dependes on you and what kind of art you want to do...and what you want it to look like...my hands would cramp up if i tryed to hand color all the time...so both..

Oh, and another BIG reason to learn tradition art is that art colleges don't like computer stuff. They want to see what you can do in the traditional materials.

both hehehehe so you could make drawings with a tablet and if you dont have a tablet you can still make drawings using traditional way. :D :D
:-D :-D :-D

I use a tablet PC for most of my work. I usually draw it out with a pencil first, scan and then ink in Illustrator. Recently, though, I've found I can just as easily handle layout and rough pencil work on the computer, so neither method is faster or intrinsically better than the other.

I'm lazy. I like computer work. Life sucks when you get stuck with a bad eraser.

i like both, but im trying to master my tablet right now. heh

.: doodlegirl :.

I beat both styles. I use a mouse to draw penis.

Mouse here too.

Both.

I do everything for my comic on paper, including colors (prismacolor markers, baby!) But the thing is, I really -want- a tablet...I don't know. I kind of doubt I'd really make the switch to tablet completely because I like being able to sit down at the desk in my room and just draw and stuff. But I want to be able to experiment with digital art and all that someday...

I wish i had prismacolor, but those things are a bit expensive.

Yeeah...I got my set of 48 as a ridiculously incredible birthday present. For every time my parents make me want to hate them, I remember that...

I've been doing my comic compleatly via tablet. I don't have a scanner.

I wish I had a tablet. might make it easier to do computer editing.
but I don't and I have no money for one, so...
Hand drawn.
not much of a choice for me, really.

It's a good idea to do a combination of both, although I mainly use a computer for toning and text bubbles.
