Traditional Art

Hi, whoever is reading XD
Anyway, to the point. I've never really been a traditionalist when it came to artwork. I thought,.hey, digital or traditional, it just has to be good. But lately, I've been seeing traditional art that was beyond the level of anything I've ever seen. Some are to the point I thought they were digital at first! Truly amazing. I've been trying to imitate this style but sadly my traditional work is not to that level no matter how hard I try. People on deviantart called Ambre-Akasora, Polkadotzombie, Chikukko, Matsuyama Takeshi and Emperpep became my idols and inspirations. I truly admire them. I wanted to ask, what's your opinion on traditional art compared to digital?
