I didn't do much on tablet recently but quite much via traditional media. This makes me happy as digital art as conceptual medium is great but it's suffers much from being 0`s and 1`s (digital). Traditional art is and always be (better). Because I believe it is too easy to annihilate digital creation.
Myself I did faced very nerve wrecking moment of losing 30GB+ of .psd and other digital files of very digital works. Until there are many copies of raw format (which never happens as quality = money in digital arts) your art is immortal. In other words, it usually takes one hard drive or pen drive to eradicate many hours of hard work while paintings, sculptures and such will most likely live-out fire, bomb attack or other destructive power.
If there's power-out sketch will remain on paper while digital sketch will be lost when RAM loses it power or when temporary file got error due to losing power. Most works are single stored and in fact, digital works are way more fragile.
To point out: at the same time I do detest and adore works made on the digital machines but what mankind did for last 40.000 years survived in wet caves, dry sands or war pledged cities. I doubt that last 10 years of digital creations will remain this long.
Remember Amiga or Commodore? Those had great graphic but after nearly 30 years even 10$ cell phones got better resolution on their display then those great drawings from lat 80`s and early '90`s.
The art made via digital media will be outdated sooner or later while there will be always room for fine arts which are called "fine" with proper reasoning behind.
Unfortunately for over 90 years we are moving farther away from what all could enjoyed.
I'm not saying that Renoir or nowadays digital artists are regular crap. There is always fantastic creators yet I believe that in another 90 years we, as a kind, will still talk about Renoir and doubt that there will be place to discuss works of Udon crew or Elsevilla while there will be talks about MC Escher or HR Giger and their creations.
It's like movies; what we produce now is "Legally Blonde" but we want to tell it's "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" quality because we made billions of creations each day. It might be connected to the critical biological mass that man kind reached, it might be also caused by the longest war-free period in the modern and probably history itself.
Does it mean that we should stop digital arts? No. And it's not possible to cleanse human minds out of it as there is too wide web spreading & inspiring and providing materials (software) to create digital works. And I myself is to criticise as I still create and often enjoy digital arts are those are less involving in space and materials compared to traditional media. I hate myself for the lack of the consequence in my own words but as many times before wrote; as much as I count as a human, I seek the easiest solutions for many problems (in general) and I consider "urge" or "need" of creating as a logical problem with PC with attached tablet as a simplicity of the solution.
Therefor I will still create works digitally and hate them as much as I love them.
