Traditional Media Wiki

An illustration created with traditional tools without using a computer, such as pencil, markers, or paint. This is in contrast with "digital media", which dominate Danbooru.

Use this tag only if you're sure that the image is actually made by hand. Beware that some artists will tag their work as traditional when it doesn't qualify by our standards of the tag. Use faux traditional media for digital images that mimic a hand-drawn/non-CG style.

Use mixed media if the image is partly traditional, but also contains some digital elements (e.g. digital spot color). Minor digital editing or color correction to correct issues in the scan or photograph of the work, rather than as a creative element of the work, does not make an image mixed media.

If the image is a photograph of the work, rather than a scanned work, then the tag photo (medium) is applicable.

For non-drawn physical art, see unconventional media.
