Anime Artist - Digital or Traditional? Your Opinion Wanted [POLL]

So the title is pretty much self-explanatory,
what do you think is the best way of drawing? Digitally or Traditionally.(Drawing on computer or Drawing in real life)

Tell me your opinions on this please as I'm currently in the loop of trying to figure out what to do ..

I will greatly value your statements, thanks!
I'd rather draw traditionally rather than digitally for the fun of it. Having a digital drawing of an anime doesn't feel right usially when it's your first time drawing. And drawing traditionally has more dynamic feelings somehow. Thats my opinion anyways.

A mix of both. With traditional you can make mistakes and when you do your paper gets to look bad. Digital it's much easier to correct mistakes. Sketches traditional and then fixing it up digital :)
Both. Drawing traditionally is fantastic to view, but then scanning it and making it look beautiful in photoshop/Paintool SAI etc. is even better.

I agree with this as well! Giving the drawings color makes it looks amazing as well :) 🤝
Much easier and better to draw digitally. You can sketch better, fix mistakes, change line thickness and color much better.
I love drawing where they draw it by hand at first and then they draw on top of it with a PC.
It can make some really nice drawing which doesn't look "overpolished" :)
But if you draw digitally, do you use a tablet or just a normal mouse?
1. Draw traditionally
2. Trace digitally w/ tablet
3. ??
4. Profit
If it is me rather than an anime producer than of course traditionally. But if it is an anime producer than definitely digitally, as I prefer anime's with beautiful graphics. :)
I beat off to this:

I don't prefer one over the other. I find drawing them traditionally is much easier than digitally, but I lack the resources to do a complete drawing traditionally.
A mixed of both tradit. and digital is pretty good.
