i think some of it might be image quality as well. It can be really hard to get a good photo or scan of traditional art, even if it looks fantastic in real life, whereas digital art and photos are made for a screen so they tend to look more polished.

that said it does deserve more love

Have you thought about something like this? Shop now Repaper Drawing tablet it looks like something that might be able to help

Also yes.

I actually kinda love the rougher edges that traditional art gives.

honestly one of the reasons i quit trying to do art is because digital doesn't click with me and there was, at one time, so much discussion about how crappy traditional art is in comparison that i just let it all go

coopyey: whoever said traditional art is crappy needs a damn reality check. Traditional is part of crafts and artisany, and its point is not looking freaking immaculate like a line made with digital art. Beyond other things. I hate it.
