@jthrash well, in fact it's too early to get the scientific conclusion that only doing digital is good or it's bad since only on the last two decades we get the opportunity to draw digitally. They say it's good to keep practicing the traditional based on what they already done all the centuries of art. I think the digital is the future, we got even i.a. doing creepily awesome arts. I'll stick with digital and 2D animation, since competition with illustrations is already tough and the popularization and improvement of i.a. is just a matter of time

that's cool my boy, i have not serioulsy drawing on paper since late 2014, once i got digital never went back to traditional, they say it ain't good, you gotta practice both, but honestly i don't miss it. But still i respect the good old traditional art, success to us brother

Not sure I heard that advice to practice both, but I think the point is to try every media you can in hopes that it inspires you when you go back to your comfort zone—like how doing 2D animation for a while gives me ideas on how I can make my 3D stuff less stiff-looking, or how 3D modeling gives me ideas on how to make my 2D stuff look more solid and believable.
Also my family keeps giving me sketchbooks every birthday and Christmas, so I have to use them if they keep giving me more either way. I don’t want those trees (or recycled paper) to die in vain.
