	Pretty torn down the middle. Most of my work starts with pencil+paper for the structure, then moves to computer for the polish and color. I like not having to commit to final color choices... Plus digitally finished art just usually looks cleaner on a monitor than a traditional piece, even with a really good scanner. I do enjoy a good 100% traditional piece now and then though. Even some non-drawing art, B&W photography and time in the darkroom developing has grown on me. whee

	I LOVE digital art, and even trained on it in college, but I never really felt connected to my pieces then...I tend to enjoy more when I can feel the paper under my hand, guide the pencil to etch out my idea, smell the fresh ink from the bottle. And the fact that I can draw anywhere, whether its in my room, at my kitchen table, at a coffee shop or the library kinda feels freeing rather than being stuck at a desk or having to lug around a laptop everywhere just in case inspiration hits...but that's just me. Digital art is beautiful and crisp, but something about traditional art just gets me.

	About 99% digital in Photoshop neutral I draw at College or at home. Paper is on the commute.

	Whilst I'm learning to love the feeling of a tablet / digital art, I am a complete sucker for sketchbooks/paper. Digital art takes a lot of the (seemingly tedious) perks of art, imo. This ranges from constantly wondering where your sharpener went to the gag-reflex enabling scent of oil paint. Plus, I'm also a sucker for feeling the used, heavy pages in a sketchbook, even if they smear onto another page.

	I tend to use my tablet since it's easier to undo mistakes and color. When I'm in class however, I always doodle in my sketchbook.
