3 years ago I thought digital art was just clicking buttons

Back in 2021 I mocked my cousin for using a tablet to draw. Told him real artists use paper and pencil. Fast forward to last month and I finally tried a basic Wacom at a friend's studio in Denver. Now I'm lowkey addicted to layering textures in Photoshop. Anyone else have a total flip on their opinion like this?

Oh man, I feel this. I literally told a friend last year that using a drawing tablet was "cheating" because you could just undo mistakes. Then I tried one for five minutes and spent the next hour just messing with different brush settings on a single circle. My hand cramped up from griping the pen too hard. Now I'm the guy who gets excited about finding a new texture pack online. Guess I ate my words pretty hard.

I mean, it's just a different tool, right?
