Is digital painting easier than painting with gouache?
I attend drawing classes in my town and whenever we paint I feel fucking disabled, I can't mix colors for shit, I can't create a sense of volume, overall it looks like a retaded kid smeared paints randomly with his fingers.

Digital painting is the easiest medium to paint with

You know you're right OP. You are at the level of a kid when it comes to painting. So why not just admit that to yourself and get better instead of thinking you're more than you are? It'll be as hard as walking for a baby for you.

Everyone goes through that when they start with any sort of traditional medium. Do you care about easy or do you care about having the ability to use multiple mediums even if it's harder?

That's not what the thread is about, I don't give a fuck about traditional painting, I'm just wondering if I'm gonna be as inept when I switch to digital.

Gouache is incredibly difficult bro. acrylics, tempera, even watercolour is easier to manage. You are right to find it hard, and yes digital is much easier

Well, if you don't know forms or value structures or edge control or color relationships or how light works then sure, you'll still be rubbish if you switch to digital. Just because the controls are simplified doesn't mean that shit does your fundamentals for you. If you have a solid grasp on all of those then digital will be better.

I'll keep trying I guess. I'm mostly just butthurt over the fact that all other students do way better than me, and when we draw with a graphite pencil I don't suck nearly as much.

if you can't model or render with graphite you're probably going to suck with any painting medium.

If all you care about is digital, buy a tablet and switch to it asap as relearning art on digital can take months to years

No, it’s the most forgiving, but traditional is far more intuitive and even easier in some aspects.
Trying to get a digital painting to look traditional is a nightmare, for instance (actually look traditional, not hurr durr visible brushstrokes)

if you dont know how to mix, then you wont be able to mix. consider that when using digital all the colours you need and more are just there in front of you.
now that im used to mixing im almost annoyed at the choice and wish more apps let me just choose from painters colours and mix.
a bit more colour theory and youll see more colours in things, youll try playing with complementaries, youll feel comfortable getting what you need out of two tones.
honestly if the class expects you to paint it should be teaching you these things.
otherwise youll just have to youtube it. drawmixpaint is where i learned a lot.
push through, bad art happens, i doubt anyone at a school thinks youll be perfect. just learn. practice. and learn.
