Description Painted with gouache on A4 paper.

What really bothers me is that my traditional media pieces look way more professional that those I do with grafic tablet. Quality should not depend on material, I think. I still have so much to learn, ah.

Mountains near the seacost.

I love gouache. I think the higher perceived quality comes simply from the texture. You can get this effect by editing your digital work to have a paper texture layer on top and change the blending setting.
Your work looks great anyway. I'd love to see a piece with a little more detail though.

I don't think that texture would magically save the day. What means more is colour harmony and texture done by brush strokes. I feel some constraint with digital art, but I hope to overcome that.
Thank you! I plan to work on bigger canvases as well.

Makes sense. A bigger canvas would certainly help. I do hope that eventually computer software can get to a point of properly emulating paint with physics. Maybe you've heard of project Wetbrush: blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2016/07/…
Seems like it would be super handy if it's ever released.

SAI is the best alternative to photoshop I've found, very good design. No worries, good luck!

Oh my goodness. Your traditional landscape paintings are to die for! Traditional wet media scares me. I really have to try it but I have no idea where to start.

Thank you! Need to make my digital art look appropriate as well
That may be complicated at first, but considering your digital colours are awesome, it shouldn't be hard for you to figure out the technique.
I may share my experience if you would like to listen
