Nah Digital is overrated, I use pencils, inkpens and paper myself. I'd like to go digital one day but as anything one has to learn, I like to start with the basics. First crawl, then walk, then run. Besides, it's easier to have pencil and paper around than a PC, or laptop with a drawing pad. With pencil and paper you can draw anywhere, I do it on the train on my way to work and back. Keep up the good work ;p

Ha, thanks Serget. It's hard to find places that need traditional artists these days. Everyone wants digital artists. I just draw for this site and my website right now. I'm considering publishing a tutorial book next year though.
