    Discuss What counts as "HAND-DRAWN" anymore?

    As an old-school artist and cartographer (active since the early 1980's/ AD&D 1st Edition), I have discovered an appreciation for the digital medium and am transitioning away from pencil sketches and pen-and-paper for my most productive projects. My question is: can I still claim that my work is "hand-drawn" when it is created on a digital tablet? May I keep the claim when I still remain stooped over a single piece of artwork for tens of hours intricately drawing each and every minute detail, but then choose to take advantage of the pre-generated textures, to rubber-stamp copy one of my map symbols or to utilize other shortcuts provided by the technology? What should be considered "hand-drawn" in this new age of digital art and does it really matter anymore?
