Do you guys prefer drawing traditionally- good ol' pencil and paper (and paints, pastels...)- or digitally, with Photoshop or some other program? And why?

I prefer traditional because it's real, like yes-I-can-touch-it-but-no-I-won't-because-its-art-and-my-grubby-fingers-wil l-get-it-all-dirty. And it captures the feelings of the moment, unlike digital because you can just delete and redo it if you don't like how it looks, but it loses its meaning and permanency. I guess you could also erase pencil, but you get the point. I'm not too sure how to explain it.

Don't get me wrong, I do a lot of my art digitally, I like the neat and orderliness of it, and it can hold as much emotion and beauty as traditional art. But really. BOOM, there goes your tablet/computer. Now what? Whatcha gonna do now?
