No it isn't. You just need to develop your skills more.

I guess. But, I'm not doing any art. That is just the result of my boredom in class.

How come so little Stories use handdrawn art? Am I the only person that likes that style?

Most people think AI art is less time consuming to generate and more pleasing to the eyes.

I suck at drawing lineart using graphic pen tablet, that's why.

Transitioning from traditional drawing in paper into using Pen-tablet is very hard and time consuming due to hand-to-eye coordination as you're drawing without looking at your hand.

The reason people do such a hard transitioning is due to how expensive display tablet was, due to Wacom monopoly on the whole business.

Nowadays, you can buy display tablet for as cheap as 150$-200$ ish from Huion or XP-Pen.

Or just save for iPad + paper like screen protector + Apple pencil. It's practically the closest to drawing on paper, even better than High end Wacom, since the gap between the glass and the screen is nearly nonexistent.

Ah true! Though, nowadays, I'm quite used to the eye-hand coordination required in using pen tabs, I'm still not confident of my digital lineart skills. ?

My artworks has always been hand-drawn/sketched, though I color/screentone it via computer.

Scanners are making hand-colored artworks look kinda bad, so I rarely use them for colored works.

Here's my proof...

Inked version, taken by a phone camera.

Pencil version, taken by the same phone camera. You could clearly see the notebook binders.

My story may not be here in ScribbleHub, but all of the artworks I used in it are all handdrawn...like this screentoned in-chapter illustration from my Volume 14...

Here are the actual paper versions:

Why am I still drawing the lineart the 'ol' fashioned way'?

Looks good. Like it a lot.

I also find using the old way, way more comfortable. Maybe I am just getting old.

I exclusively use hand-drawn art, since my tableteering skills are still at its infancy (and I don't have a display tablet). I just run my drawings through a scanner, though it does tend to ruin the colors (if and when I use them):

Edit: Here's an example of transferring from traditional art to digital art. I'd use this technique more commonly if I had more time for drawing.

Nah, both digital and traditional ways of doing linearts have their advantages and disadvantages.

For trads, advantages are, illustrators are more accurate and efficient, since once we made a mistake--especially in the inking process--we have no hope of salvaging the work.

Disadvantages are mentioned above, and also, it's expensive due to the price of art materials like paper and pens.

For digi, advantages include the unlimited tries on the work, since there's always the undo button. Also, it's faster because you'll be skipping the pencil and inking stages.

Disadvantages are, once there's a power outage, you can't expect to draw or work on your image. You can't also draw 'on the go', unless you have your tablet with you and it is charged. And lastly, once you made a mistake--like me who formatted the wrong disk--there's no hope of recovering your artwork.

For me, I'd like to think of digi and trad ways of drawing as 'tools', instead of 'rival ways' on doing things. Not only it is a stupid argument, I also think that the quality of art lies on the artist, not his tools. Hence, I mixed traditional drawing with digital coloring.

Conclusion, old or not, trad and digi can go hand in hand.
