You can't make art without a tablet, huh? Well, I can't write a story without having a handmade Italian leather-bound journal, a gold-plated fountain pen and special ink that costs $30/ounce, and a research assistant to look up things in libraries for me.

Your argument is weak. People can create art for free/cheap. Expensive tools might make it easier and give you more options but the very same thing can be said about tools used in writing.

I think you're underestimating how difficult it can be to use tools that aren't really made with making art in mind.

I'm perfectly capable of making art with a touchpad and have had a lot of practice with it, but learning how to handle my hand with something that works completely different than a pencil is a difficult learning curve that can be mostly by-passed by buying a tablet.

What the hell is wrong with your brain?

Do you literally not understand the difference between "Things I prefer to have to create with" and "things that I actually need to physically produce art?"

Art sells because of HOW IT LOOKS. And to make it look good, you do need the right materials. Otherwise you look like a kid scribbling in MS Paint. And the novelty of that may sell for one or two people, but isn't really viable for most folks.

Writing sells because of WHAT IT IS. It does not need to "look" a certain way. It doesn't need to be pretty. It doesn't need to be color-adjusted or printed out on the right paper. It just needs to be a good story. The quality of a story is in its words, the quality of art is in its image.

Why on earth would that be a debatable concept?
