@matana but that's not painting, thats drawing. Sure you may end up with similar results but at the end of the day you are using tools designed to help you achieve that result with a set of skills that is not the same as the ones that a real PAINT painter needs to have.

I'm not meant to dismiss digital art and the talent behind it, but people cannot use it to argue an equivalence with a set of skill related to analogue mediums. It's like calling myself a guitar player and then discovering that all my tracks are made using FL Studio or Garageband and that i haven't touched a guitar in my life.
