I don't know about anyone else but for me digital art is just another technical process, it is no different from intaglio or silk screen or wood blocks or the various methods, like cartooning ( in the original sense of the word) whereby artists created representations. My own computer art is the culmination of over 50 years of painting and drawing, attending life drawing classes, hanging out with established artists ( Brett Whiteley was both a colleague and a guiding influence ) and trying to master the techniques of water colour and acrylics. I don't use photos, everything is drawn. The magic is the Paint app ( which is the only one I have used), it does have its own qualities, its own originality of process. I suspect some think computer art is a cheat, it isn't, it is another way of making art as difficult as any.
