I have a pretty eclectic approach to my work and like to incorporate pencil drawings, photography and scanned textures and objects to create a coherent whole. I usually start out with pencil and paper, scan the drawings in, and then proceed to intuitively adding and subtracting different elements.
What I love with the digital canvas is the ability to quickly toy around with different compositions and colour schemes and being able to revert to earlier states of an image to follow up a different threads and take them further.
It's important, however, to remember that the computer is but another asset in the toolbox, and at the end of the day, the traditional artist skills like an eye for composition, color and contrast are the factors that matter (just mentioning this since the the notion of digital art merely requiring a touch of a button still seems to prevail).
