Second from the previous contest i saw that many members used software to do this design but why would it be considered acceptable, Because drawing with your own hands and creating using software will be the same? Never same. If there use software for this competition then how can i do better than them with hand design?.
I think there is a misconception when it comes to digital artworks because it seems that there some people who thinks creating arts using software is easy and basic but all of it is a lie and untrue.
Digital and Traditional artwork are valued the same, cause the expertise of using those two medium of art takes a lot of time to master.
It really takes time, effort, hardwork, blood and sweat in order to enhanced and fully developed skills when it comes to creating arts using digital software. Making artworks in digital is the same with traditional. The only difference is, we make one with the help of a computer but the process is still the same. We have different software to use, yes, but that doesn't mean that the outcome will always be better than the traditional. It still depends on the skills u have. I use adobe photoshop with a mouse instead of a pentab. I had a hard time coloring the whole piece, coloring with a mouse is very difficult to control than the usual pentab. Honestly, traditional is still better than digital. Easier to control, easier to manage and easier to make.
I won the first place in the last competition because of the digital artwork that I did. It took me days for me to finished, I actually got migraine because of the hardwork and effort that I put in it but it is okay because I'm having fun about it. I will participate again in this contest and I will surpass my limits in order to achieve 1st place again! Goodluck to all of the participants! Don't forget to have fun when doing your own artwork.
