What do you find different with digital illustration from drawing by hand?

   Digital illustration, although very convenient at times deprives me of the feeling I get when I pick up a pencil and a sketch pad and draw. The level of accomplishment I feel when I draw by hand surpasses that of the feeling I get when I create a digital illustration. Digital illustration portrays a special type of skill which encompasses a literacy for adjusting to certain digital tools whereas with drawing by hand the skill comes with determining patterns, how heavy one should press on a pencil and also the types of medium that should be used. Digital illustrations and drawing by hand both demonstrates to onlookers a level of accuracy but in different ways, it is easier to get an accurate digital illustration than it is to get accuracy through drawing by hands because certain tools such as the pen tool and the rectangle tool and some others have built in measurements and have guides to assist in getting the most accurate results where as in drawing by hand it may take you a lot of rubbing out and some bizarre measurements before a close enough shape is acquired that isn't slanted or out of place. It is also very wise to draw an image sketch by hand before you do it in a digital illustration form because it is much easier to sketch something by hand and follow it than it is do all of the adjustments and erasing on a digital illustration. Both have their pros but for me nothing can replace a good old drawing by hand unless you are press for time and need something done quickly, then a digital illustration would be a wiser option.
