Voted Mixed... but I don't know if drawing/sketching something on paper, scan it and colour it digitally, would fall in the Mixed-category?!:O_o: -anyway, that's what I mostly do... it's a pretty rare thing for me to go either full-CG or fully traditional!!:XD:

I tend to lean more towards traditional largely because I have a better sense of control and can flow better with the medium, plus being able to produce an illustration that's one-of-a-kind just really gives me a sense of pride. Plus, it's just good to be trad-savvy when doing on-the-spot commissions at cons. That being said, digital is more convenient when I need to whip up something for a comic cover or conceptualise a colour layout, be it a character design or a "map" for how I want to colour something with markers, and it has the advantage of having richer colours since scanners still can't seem to scan trad properly. :shakefist:

Still, nothing beats my trusty pencil and paper when it comes to straight drawing, and I can take it everywhere with me for when inspiration strikes.

Yeah the one of a kind thing is really awesome, but even when i was all traditional i would still use a lightbox for inking so it wasnt really one of a kind anymore anyways. I think ive really adapted to digital. Though i never leave my apartment without some sort of drawing implement, mostly pen because it doesnt really smudge and no erasing.

I just now learn to use digital mediums( and its awesome but aswell somehow easyer to achieve)... still I can worship artists more who made a great picture in the traditional way... somehow you can see or at least imagine how much time it needet to achieve traditional skills. Then digital art is still a new way of art and there will come big things in the future...so maybe it'll change my way of thinking about...

I have to say mixed because all art forms I can think of work better mixed. I can do way better lineart with a pen or pencil, but coloring for sure looks better digital.

I can actually sketch and ink cleaner and smoother on the computer. I freaking love my tablet =p
