The computer has some powerful editing tools, sure. It can salvage things better than paper can. But there is a big disjoint between you and the art when using a computer. If you're using a screenless tablet, FORGET ABOUT IT. You will stay a /beg/ for YEARS while traditionalists soar past you.
Even if you get a screen tablet, you will still be slow. When you use a pencil on paper, you are physically scraping graphite onto fibers. You are in physical contact with your work. With just a few shifts in your muscle work, you can change everything about a line.
Screen tablets EMULATE this, but they do not perfectly copy it. There is literally a glass wall between you and your art.
Just look at ultra skilled work artists, take for example my favorite, Jin Kim. Much of his designs for Big Hero 6 were done in pencil, and his amazing linework translates easily into digital when he uses it. But people who learn solely digital cannot backtrack into traditional. Even take Duster132, very popular photobasher artist who does some standard work as well. The included image is from his PAPER SKETCHBOOK.
If you want to be a well-rounded artist, you NEED to do traditional art as a mainstay. If you do digital art solely, you will be crippled by the sterility and planted nature of it.
