At first, I thought that an artist needed a digital coloring software to be successful, but the truth is, a digital software is sometimes not needed to produce something. I have learned this as I continued to draw. Plus, you don't need a tablet either. I found my own way to make clean linearts. I hope for all beginning artists to not feel pressured to get a hold of a software and continue to develop your artistic abilities traditionally before moving to a digital medium. Whatever path you guys choose, it's up to you. Smile today and be happy. ^^ this description is starting to not make sense anymore.
