drawbacks of digital art

 

1. Technical difficulties

Occasionally, technology can create challenges for digital artists, such as programs crashing before you're able to save your work, incompatible files, troubleshooting or hardware issues. It's true that in traditional art, these aren't challenges you would encounter.

2. Replicable work

The internet makes it easier for others to copy a digital artist's work. Because your work may be posted online, unscrupulous individuals may repost it as their own or sell a copied version to companies you work with. 

3. Abstract products

After you create traditional art, you can hold your product and consider the result. In digital art, the screen is never removed from the artwork. The artwork is made on a device and continues to be digital. 

4. Decreased creativity

Working with only digital art may hinder your art skill development if you skip foundational learning, such as perspective, shading, anatomy and proportions. If you continue to learn about traditional forms of art, such as sketching, drawing, painting, sculpting, collage and photography, and traditional mediums such as charcoals, pencils, oils, clay and film, it may develop your creativity and methodologies.

5. Long working hours

Pressing deadlines may cause digital artists to work longer hours than a typical eight-hour day. Deadlines also may require you to work on weekends in order to finish projects on time. It can be a challenge to learn how to manage your schedule and meet often changing needs and deadlines.
