You should get a tablet and try doing some digital art.

But don’t though unless they prefer it... hard transition for some artists, tablets are expensive, scanning (if you don’t have a scanner go to a library lol) is cheaper and lets artists draw they want. Plus by manually touching up the art in a program like paint.NET you can give it the smooth look of digital art.

Practice makes perfect, plus drawing tablets offer an array of options to improve your work.
You mean the same options you can do after you scan it, since you can load it into the same program you use for digital art whatever that may be? And practice makes perfect Is a terrible argument because by that logic traditional artists should stick to traditional art because they’ve already practiced

Unless you're close-minded, then it should make logical sense. Take this idea as an example: If I'm given a far superior job proposition and I accept said proposition, then I'm gonna have to learn new things and, ultimately, improve. I shouldn't stick to my old job just because I'm already familiar with my work.
It's completely fine for an artist to work whichever way they prefer, but a drawing tablet is a step-up towards one's abilities. It vastly expands and streamlines upon the process of drawing and painting.

Yes, it will take a little getting use to, but it will be well worth it to develop new skills. And it's not practice that makes perfect, but perfect practice that makes perfect. XD
Also, don't use paint.NET. If you can't get Photoshop, use Krita. It's free and it's the next best thing.
I got my tablet on eBay for only $150. It would have been $200 at Best Buy... I guess Best Buy is not really the best place to buy things. XD

What? No... that’s not how analogies work. You can’t make a vague analogy for a situation that could exist yet not describe it while simultaneously ignoring the counterpoint they just made. As I said earlier: tablets are expensive, all the advantages of drawing with a tablet can be recreated for scanned physical art, and on top of that your analogy makes no sense and here’s why:
You stated that the transition made “logical sense” because tablets were “far superior” (which I just disproved) and that sticking to the physical art (or the “old job” in your unspecific analogy) because you’re already familiar with it is a bad idea. However, as an artist myself transitioning to digital art was a huge pain that in no way improved my options as an artist because I was already touching up art digitally without a tablet anyway, and I ended up transitioning back for the opportunity to use pastels and paint pens. It disgusts me to see people pressuring artists into digital art because it’s the more modern or presentable thing to do, and i’m surprised I even have to explain myself.
PS: Ad-personem attacks like calling someone closed-minded because you don’t understand their argument only throw yours in the garbage and show that you’re arguing purely emotionally

You don't have to explain yourself at all. Your opinion stems from your personal experience, and that's fine, but those are some downright senseless assumptions. I just wanted to have a level-headed discussion, and you twisted it on its head. I'm not here to demean or even coarse anyone into what I think is best. What a mess. Agree to disagree. Badda-bing, badda-boom, case closed.
I respect the intent on levelheaded discussion, but am confused because that’s what I was trying to do too, and simply shut you down when you argued illogically. If you could simply tell me the “downright senseless assumptions” I made or explain how I twisted a levelheaded discussion on it’s head when you were the one who started telling lies (see prev post) and insulting people in the first place, then we could at least make a little progress here.
What the? Traditional art is just as legitimate as digital art. People who work with clay, wood, glass, metal, wire, paper, paint, chalk, and other such crafts as a hobby and/or profession would probably agree.
It took me no time at all to get use to using a tablet. And it was well worth the money. I don't need to keep buying art supplies because Photoshop doesn't run out of ink, or paint. I only need to replace the nib on the pen like every 3 months or so. So while it might seem expensive at first, in the long run it really isn't. And I just looked on eBay and I found a seller selling 30 nibs for only $8.00. :)

In all seriousness though, what tablet were you buying where your pen has traction with the paper while sketching like in traditional art? That was the hardest part for me outside of the tool limitations with not being able to use charcoal and stuff.

Photoshop is just what I use for most of my work, but you can use Krita 100% free. It too doesn't run out of ink or paint. So yeah, you don't need to keep buying. >_>
And my tablet is nothing super fancy and/or expensive. I have a WACOM Intuos CTH-690K.
I also adjusted the pressure higher so I wouldn't need to press so hard.
