Digital painting as a practice to traditional?I have an iPad and an Intuos M. Long time ago, I used to digital paint. I was always quite bad at painting traditional probably because I never really tried it but it is what excites me nowadays, regarding art.
That said... do you think that digital painting helps out with gouache / oil painting for example?
Sometimes I want to quickly "paint-sketch" something and gouache / oil painting isn't something that you can have with you at all times like an iPad or it isn't as easy / fast as opening an app on the computer, paint something and close it.
Do you think digital painting could help me with traditional painting or are they such different mediums that the knowledge isn't that transferable? I was thinking on maybe having swatches for the primary colors or white and black in case i'm painting only values and then use some kind of 50% to mix them, try to mimic the real process...

From my time in college, I've used mostly the charcoal "bar" (no idea on the correct english translation). I've tried the pencil charcoal but I feel way more comfortable with the "bar". My question, why one over the other?
