Bonjour! Is what I would say if I were doing the French summer assignment right now. Alas, I'm gonna wait a little longer on that. Anyways, it's "summer." I can go almost nowhere and do almost nothing. (Except work on my drawing skills and build a minecraft server.)
Okay, with the catch-up over, it's time to be serious. I have actually been drawing, and am using my sister's drawing tablet. Anyway, here we go with ACES I guess. Digital art is easier to make than drawing in real life because it is easier to use an art tablet rather than a pencil and paper. Evidence for this comes from the fact that good erasers and good pencils/pens or whatever people use usually suck. Most default No. 2 pencils have the cheapest possible eraser made, as well as the cheapest graphite. This constantly leads to broken/used up erasers, constant sharpening and re-sharpening, and eventual use-up of many pencils. Pen lines can't be undone. Mechanical pencils are even worse, since the graphite used is usually much thinner than normal graphite. Paper also costs money. However, with the invention of the digital drawing tablet, erasers fully erase, there is no graphite to be broken, no pencil to be sharpened, no money wasted on another 200 sheets of paper, no line that cannot be undone. Free programs such as paint, and many more that don't actually suck, exist for ease of use in making digital art. In addition, any color imaginable (by humans, since there are way more colors that a mantis shrimp can see since they have three times the amount of color receptors) can be used by just one pen, instead of buying colored pencils, which will break and have to be sharpened. In conclusion, with the extremely obvious advantages that comes with making digital art, including eventual saving of money, lack of having to sharpen/by awful cap erasers for the pen, unlimited "paper" for drawing, and free platforms, digital art is better than an old-fashioned pencil and paper.
