As an art kid, I always LOVED to hand-draw, and tbh I always found it a lot harder to paint than most people. Although, I noticed that painting also come naturally for some people too. So, how about you?
When you say painting, does that include digital painting?
So I actually enjoy painting versus hand-drawing mainly because I want to immediately get to blocking in and coloring. It's more fun and experimental for me. However, I do hand-draw because that's still a very important skill for digital artists. As much as I hate sketching, I have to be able to concept my pieces out.
