Digital Drawing/Painting Reflection:
Just from this exercise alone, I can see how digital drawing and painting can be potent tools for artists. I don't really consider myself an adept painter (or even a good painter), yet I found it quite easy to use the paint tool for the creation of my landscape above. What makes these digital tools especially useful is the fact that you can play with transparencies and layers, which allows you to have greater control over where things go in your work. Additionally, using digital mediums means that you can always Control-Z any misstep, effectively undoing the unsightly mistakes that you may have made along the way. Overall, digital mediums simply afford artists a greater range of tools and flexibility when working towards a final product, and this greatly alleviates many burdens that may be difficult to cover and work around with traditional drawing/painting mediums.
