What is the significance of traditional art forms to digital art creation?

It depends on what kind of traditional art you mean.

Traditional arts, including China ink painting art and western traditional art, are now studying western classical art for further study. Western traditional art tends to be rational. It will be more realistic to engage in digital art, and digital art such as animation and multimedia requires high requirements and needs a good art foundation. Learning ink painting can add new elements to digital art and have new design expressions.

Of course, your computer technology foundation should be solid enough.
