I’ve recently been taking some of my traditional pieces of art and trying to enhance them with digital editing. This includes a computer application that lets me draw on top of images of the original art digitally, and I’ve also been using photo filters to fix aspects such as brightness and color. I’m not sure how I feel about it so far. It is still completely my art since I’m the one who is editing the images, but it just feels like I’m cheating somehow. I love many digital artists though, such as Adamtots and Marsoid, and I don’t feel like they are ‘cheating’. I’m not sure why it feels different for me. I’ve done a good amount of digital art in the past so this isn’t new. Maybe it’s because these images only exist online and the actual physical art still looks unfinished.
