Rant: I used to sketch everything on paper, now it's all on my iPad

I switched about a year ago after a client in Chicago needed revisions in under an hour. The undo button alone has saved so many fabric swatches from my coffee spills. Does anyone else feel like they've lost the 'feel' of the paper, or is it just me?

Ugh, tell me about it... I spilled an entire smoothie on a half-finished watercolor once. The undo button is a lifesaver for sure.

But honestly, is the "feel" of paper that big a deal? You get used to the screen texture, and the upsides are so real. It's just a different tool, not some huge loss of art's soul.

Terry_park kind of nailed it honestly (though I do miss the sound of a pencil on paper sometimes). That undo button is pure gold though.
