At least you have a tablet. >.>; I have to color digitally using a mouse. D:

And well, there are a bunch of different kinds of pens available in the market that don't smell bad. >.>; Oh, and I also have the same problem with my scanner. D: Normally I have to fix it in Photoshop. :x

Lol, I just realized I didn't even post my viewpoint on the matter. xD

At this point in time, I myself tend to appreciate traditional art more, because to me, it's harder to make masterpieces with it. =O Like, in traditional art, it's harder to fix your mistakes if you, for example, blotch the ink or let the colors spill. :x It's easier to correct yourself when you're doing digital art (the wonders of the Undo and History options xD).

Not to say that I don't like digital art, because I honestly love it a lot. :3 I just admire the tenacity and capabilities of traditional artists a teensy bit more than digital artists. Then again, as someone who uses a mouse, I'm seriously in awe at digital artists who can do wonders with their mouse, and even their tablets (I've tried them, and I don't think they're for me x_x).

Just to put in my two cents~ xD
