I find quick sketches much easier to do digitally with my tablet because I can easily erase or change tools, it is a very fluid media. However I prefer traditional drawing for something tactile, or that I will work on for longer periods of time. Digital media for me is immaterial, one hard-drive crash and you have nothing. I miss the tactility of traditional media and craft.
It all depends on my mood really. Sometimes I get a stronger urge to pick up a pencil and paper than to grab my tablet. I draw with the mouse less often, but I get random urges to draw with it too.
Looking at the technical aspect, traditional drawing has the advantage that you get a much better feeling for your hand movements than with a tablet, because on the computer, the strokes you're doing are imitated.
I am a digital person. It's quicker. It's more 'comfortable'. Like Terabetha I like the ability to change tools easily and create certain effects, one click and you're holding oil paints instead of a pencil. if something doesn't work out I can undo it easily, I can experiment and go back to the result I liked the most and continue from there.
But also (again as Terabetha mentioned) digital media is very... abstract? Intangible?
What fascinates me about traditional media is that it is tangible. You can erase things but in the end, everything that's been done cannot be undone. It stays. You look at real pencil lines, real paint strokes instead of imitations of lines and strokes.
It has that certain charme to it.
I prefer to use pencil and paper when I sketch, I think it's easier to work with than a tablet. But I often scan the drawing and trace the lines to make it digital and 'cleaner'. And color if I feel like it. ^^'
I think I prefer using a graphics tablet over a pencil.
It's alot quicker and easier for me, and I like that I can undo and redo certain things. I also like it more because when I'm rubbing out on paper, I tend to accidently rub out another part of the drawing, where as with a tablet I can either change the eraser size or undo what I rubbed out.
However, I find it alot harder to draw neat and tidy lines with a tablet, due to the way I have to hold it.

Overall I prefer my tablet c:
Paper and pencil feels more
I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.
