Oh Okay. Question Solved! I guess that was the question that was bugging me all along Anyways, Thanks

But this IS traditional art, no matter if scanned or captured by photo so I don't get your problem
People don't take photos of their traditional work because camera would destroy the drawing quality. Simple.
Anyways if you want to take a photo of your drawing, get the good light (a room lighted with bright daylight would be the best.), place your camera horizontaly to the canvas (avoid casting shadows on it), and be careful not to shake your hands. then you can get some sinple photo editing program (Irfan View would do) and correct the contrast.

Another question: How do you get good quality pics? Like without scanning, and Troll, My point is that they look like they're scanned. I never see Photos of Art. And one more thing: Can I get a recommendation on a good quality, inexpensive camera? Thanks. And I'll try not to judge other forms so fast.

You know, I had a friend that hollowed out the inside of alaptop and did engineering type work so the backgrounds she drew would move, it was a person riding a bike, the backgrounds changed from winter to spring, it was amazing. She got a C because the teacher didn't believe in any medium outside of the standard paper.
She had spent a lot of time and effort on it, and that broke her heart.
Don't be so quick to judge other types of art.

Some people use standard techniques all the way, and some prefer a pencil and paper to get the basic art, then scan and color it on the computer. A lot of what appears to be digital art is mixed media. People like myself use the computer to clean up and fill in a hand drawn image. For those who choose to use a tablet, it's merely a way to skip the paper and scanner, and it brings its own pros and cons. I've been practicing with a tablet for over a year, and it's tough. Digital art often looks quite beautiful, but lacks the warmth you might find in a traditional watercolor painting.

Don't switch to digital art just because the more well known artists use it. Weigh your options. Experiment. Make a nice line-art and scan it into your computer, and color it in with a photo editor. If you know someone who has a tablet, ask them if you could try it out. It's possible you might be one of the people who can't stand working digitally.

Here are some great pieces of traditional art on BS.

And an entire gallery of some beautiful work by one of my favorite fan artists. You'll notice they dropped digital art in favor of more traditional methods.

There are traditional art in must see section. Look again
I've seen very few good quality traditional images lately. Most of them are just sketches or bad-quality photos of an artwork.
Fancharacters, uncolored images, bad quality scan/photos won't get a must-see.

You don't have to get into digital art just because it's popular. There are plenty of artists out there that still use traditional media in their art, as well as mixed media. And other media are just as popular.

Don't be so quick to judge what art is considered either. While you have the right to your own opinion, art, in translation is as such:

Art: [ahrt] noun

1. The quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.

2. The class of objects subject to aesthetic criteria; works of art collectively, as paintings, sculptures, or drawings: a museum of art; an art collection.

3. A field, genre, or category of art: Dance is an art.

4. The fine arts collectively, often excluding architecture: art and architecture.

5. Any field using the skills or techniques of art: advertising art; industrial art.
