It was rather fun watching the poll. For the first couple of days, PS and graphite were neck and neck. If you think about it, simply for editing and prepping a picture for posting, PS would be used for that. Add on people who do work digitally, of course it'd be first.
I have to use PS a lot at work, but for my personal illustration purposes, even with my Wacom, it leaves me feeling cheep in the end. though i am very impressed with a lot of PS artists, theres just something not genuine about it to me. not to offend anyone who does it, you still have to be able to draw to use it correctly.
i will take the old pencil and some AcrylaGuache anyday over a computer. its just natural and real.
