Digital art or traditional art? Which one would be better for beginners?

Hello! Cutie, I am Comic black rainbow.

Many cuties who are beginners to learn drawing may ask "Should I learn from hand-drawn first?

They thought they could draw a masterpiece if they bought a digitizer.

PS. At the end of this article, there are 10 free Photoshop brushes for you, so that you can add different effects and fun when painting!

In fact, after I purchased a digitizer for the first time, I froze it for one year after my first try because I didn't know how to draw digital painting until I learned painting software by myself.

After I painted with digitizer for two or three years, I bought a drawing Monitor and because the screen is too smooth instead of matte, I was not used to the feeling when I was drawing, I froze it again for one year until I asked myself: Why do I spend so much money on this?

I don't want to waste money!!!

So I told myself that forcing myself would be a habit, then I have used it until now.

So I want to share the pros and cons of hand-drawn and digital painting with you for your reference.
