[ENG] Lately I really want to draw in digital, and this causes me a series of thoughts that make me feel guilty and very insecure.

I feel like I have to choose between digital or traditional, and since traditional is what I have worked more hard up to now and I have tried harder to learn, it generates a certain rejection of working in digital. Also, since it isn't my usual medium, I feel that it is not good enough to show it. I also feel that it's wrong to share it here and mix it with my traditional work because it is not going to be understood what I do if I mix everything. To top it all, the impostor syndrome is present and somehow I feel that if I share things on digital you are going to realize how fraud I am.

Anyway, my creative dramas that come to pay me a visit from time to time 😅. I don't know if something similar happens to other illustrators who work in traditional and digital with one medium or another, but if so, I thank you for advice to try to manage all this better.

[ESP] Últimamente me apetece muchísimo hacer cositas en digital, y esto me provoca una serie de pensamientos que me hacen sentir culpable y muy insegura.

Siento que tengo que elegir entre digital o tradicional, y como el tradicional es lo que hasta ahora he trabajado más y me he esforzado más por aprender, me genera un cierto rechazo trabajar en digital. Además, al no ser mi medio habitual siento que no es lo suficientemente bueno como para mostrarlo. También siento que está mal compartirlo por aquí y mezclarlo con mi trabajo en tradicional porque no se va a entender que es lo que hago si mezclo todo. Para colmo, el síndrome del impostor se hace presente y de alguna forma siento que si comparto cosas en digital os vais a dar cuenta del fraude que soy.

En fin, mis dramas creativos que cada cierto tiempo vienen a hacerme una visita 😅. No sé si a otras ilustradoras que trabajáis en tradicional y digital os pasa algo parecido con un medio u otro, pero si es así os agradezco consejos para intentar gestionar todo esto mejor

Lots of people mix digital and traditional art together! I often do sketches on traditional when I can’t get digital to work, and then transfer to digital when I have a base idea. I also love art where you can clearly see the interaction of digital and traditional mediums. There’s a wider genre than you might thinj
Why would mixing art mediums up be bad? Everyone has something they are good at and they are bad at. Hiding the "bad" stuff won't make it go away 💚 embrace it I would say. And if you really want to improve you can always ask for criticism 😊
