Traditional vs. Digital Art

  Happy Sunday, everyone! I have another speech- this time it's about why I prefer digital art over traditional. BTW, no one probably cares, but you can see some of my digital art on my deviantart account.
  Traditional art is the drawings and paintings made from physical tools, like a pencil or paint brush. Digital art is that made from computers using tools programmed to have the textures of those used in traditional art. These are reasons why I prefer digital art.
  Mistakes are easy to erase when drawing on the computer. When drawing traditionally, there are always a number of things I have to constantly worry about because I might not be able to completely erase a mistake I make. When drawing digitally, I can always use the undo button when I make a mistake, and the eraser leaves no marks behind.
  Colors are easier to choose digitally. To get a variety of colors, I have search for paint or pencils at the store. If I try to mix colors to make another, I can never get what I want. However, I get whatever color I want using a computer program.
  Lines are cleaner when making digital art. We all know how much trouble it is to draw a straight line. However, there are several different options in computer programs to make the cleanest line you can get.
If I were to mention art, you'd probably automatically think about drawing on paper or painting on a canvas. However, I like to draw digitally because mistakes are easier to erase, colors are easier to choose, and lines are cleaner.

I'll probably have to cut a bunch of text off this when I present it(it's probably too long). I loooove talking about things like this, so I really think I could write a way longer speech on the differences and similarities of these two categories of art. However, this will have to do for now :( See you guys next week!
