Maybe I was wrong - I thought traditional is easier because you don't have to learn using an app and it's easier to draw with pencil than on a phone or tablet (in my opinion)
My current way is crossed between traditional and digital (for me it's the easiest way)
Ok so.
I had my very first digital tablet around 15 years ago - it was such a primal little thing and the weirdest thing to learn to draw on the tablet while you look at a screen. But it's like riding a bicycle, once you get a hang of it, it sticks with you forever. There are gazilions of art programs for PC (i cannot fathom on a tablet or even less a phone, only tablet I'd EVER consider is an iPad pro... Which I don't need atm nor have the funds). Thing with programs is that they all have a different learning curve. Photoshop is quite hard but has A LOT of excellent options. Similar to it which is a free program is Krita, it also have a looong learning curve. But you kind of learn one program, you kind of learn the rest, just gotta find what you're looking for.
My personal favourite to which I stuck for years to no end is Paint tool Sai. It also takes a lot of time to learn, and best way to learn is to draw with the software, play with the settings or watch youtube tutorials. It's pricey, but it's a one time payment and it's absolutely worth every cent, especially the 2nd version. Doesn't look fancy at all, but it's perfect for me.
Last year I upgraded to a screen graphic tablet (got as a present) - that was forever a dream of mine. I wouldn't say it improved my art, but it does feel more natural while drawing on it.
For doodling and sketching I do prefer paper, I love the feeling of it. And sometimes I do paint on canvas, there is something special about it compared to digital art. No undo buttons, no colour corrections, no layers, it's all there, real. And one of a kind. Also I get to use shiny metallic or glitter paint
