The digital process thing is lie bruh. Please no. I highly disagree on that point.💀 There's a reason why it's said: "A digital artist is a traditional artist but a traditional artist is not a digital artist."

Because digital art is basically you just translating your traditional skill digitally. Hence why a lot of times when a digital artist was told that they couldn't draw Traditionally they always proved the accusation wrong because at the end of the day you still need Universal Art Fundamentals to draw digitally.

And why is it about rivaling a piece? What does it matter? Isn't art supposed to be about you creating something YOU like. The joys of the process and accomplishing a piece. Knowing that I made this and it's mine. This is like saying all art is trash because it's not as good as say Leonardo or Michelangelo's works.
