Some recurring questions I'd like to respond to: 1) The app is allowed by Gaijin. 3rd Party advertisers pay Gaijin real money to give you golden eagles whenever you do the tasks made by the advertisers. The Free GE app gets a cut of those payments as the middleman. To Gaijin, this is no different from someone making a normal purchase with their own money, since Gaijin gets paid one way or another. 2) Obviously getting a job is more time efficient. I didn't address it in the video because anyone who is thinking of using the app has probably already considered getting a job and spending their own money for GE ingame. "Get a job" doesn't account for the fact that there are people in situations where it isn't reasonable to get a job, or already have a job and are just curious about the app. "Get a job" also doesn't account for the fact that you can use the app much more passively than getting a job, so it can be useful if you just want a few GE. You can complete tasks while you have dead time, such as while commuting on a train or sideclimbing in Air RB or waiting for an appointment, which is not something you can do as easily with a job. Some people have also told me that the app is a lot more viable to use in countries with weaker currencies, which makes sense since if the currency your job pays you in exchanges for fewer GE, it may be more worthwhile to check the app out. 3) The app may not work on all mobile devices I've seen comments saying they can't find the app on the app store, and while I still can find it, my friend who has IOS has told me that the app is missing for his device, so it may not work on all smartphones. 4) The accrued GE does not transfer to War Thunder Mobile When you set the GE to pay out, it automatically goes to your main War Thunder account. Perhaps if you ask the developers for the option, they may make it possible to get War Thunder Mobile GE, since I don't see why not, but currently it is not a feature available. 5) Some commenters have mentioned that the app does work on linked console accounts. Because I don't play console, I can't confirm, but some people say there is some kind of workaround for it. The app's official stance is that it isn't made to work with console accounts so try at your own risk I guess. 6) Some commenters have mentioned that the "better" Emerald tasks are now gone. They still show up on my end but that's because I had already started them. I checked again and there are different Emerald tasks involving leaving a game open, but their rewards are much much worse, closer to 1 GE per time interval. 7) The apology for the thumbnail art is a joke. There isn't anyone hating on it (as far as I know). I'm not familiar with the character AK-12 or the game she is from (not a big fan of gatcha) but it was a request and I thought I'd use it as a chance to practice drawing, which is something I'm in the process of learning to enjoy. TLDR: The app is not an outright scam by definition, it does technically work as designed. But it is also incredibly inefficient and will be a waste of time for most people. The only "viable" way of using the app to get a lot of GE is by promoting it to other people, which I find to be very scummy. As such, until they make some major changes to the app, I will not be using or promoting it. As a final thought: You do have the ability to lie on the surveys as to protect your personal info, but I do personally feel bad about lying on surveys and those tasks are also not really worth the effort, so I'll just be avoiding them myself. If you do choose this route, it may be the most efficient way to get GE from the app, just by rushing through and answering randomly.
@@VogioGta6 I don't think they're directly partnered with Gaijin but at the very least, it functions the way it's designed to, and Gaijin profits from it indirectly. If it was a legitimate scam and Gaijin lost money from this, then they would have shut this down a looooong time ago, but you still see people promote it today.
"The only "viable" way of using the app to get a lot of GE is by promoting it to other people, which I find to be very scummy." If it sounds like a pyramid scheme and feels like a pyramid scheme, it's probably a pyramid scheme.
If you want a (potentially) boring way to get GE fast, it's probably a lot more time efficient to work at a fast food place for a day and then quit. In Canada with a 15 CAD/hr minimum wage, buying the largest GE amounts, you're looking at well over 2300 GE/hour.
it is but the current event system we had imo is not very good i haven't got any coupon upgrade since they implemented that current system because the task for getting coupon upgrade are more tedious than before (i'm talking like 750k for a damn coupon upgrade for F-14 IRIAF and Boxer MGS which i really want to sell both of these vehicle) which is a problem for people who had schools or jobs to do
it also took me 8 - 10 hours to get to 30 - 35k mission points for each task and not to mention it gets old each time i did that and also it took me an entire day to do that if i come home from school to grind out the star distinction
@@muhammadfajar4461In what BR/mode are you playing? Because I can get 45k in 4 to 5 hours, playing that amount of time every day it’s still painfull tho
I worked as a waiter instead :D much much faster compared to filling out surveys and watching ads. I think these are kind of meant for kids who cannot work but still want to get GE someway.
Whenever I found a game I wanted to play on my phone I'd check this app first. I ground out about 5600GE over 6~ months. Time to GE value it's not worth it at all, but if you're gonna play games on your phone or set up a phone for your kids to play the games on its ok
Getting your kids to earn GE for you is absolutely wild lmaooo I am 100% here for that (unironically tho yeah if you like mobile games then it's kind of a winwin)
I learned about a cool way to get GE and help the community at the same time was to add and edit things in the war thunder wiki (official one obviously) and for at the end of each month your work gets reviewed and you go in certain categories with certain rewards
As someone from a third world country with an extremely weak currency, it definitely is worth it. Some people here earn a dollar a day in average. I mean, if you wanna donate me some GE I don't mind, that's my whole day's worth of food.
you were super neutral and you've given viewers the knowledge to make full use of the app as well - which means you've probably motivated them to use it for longer. Although idk what their policy is for disclosure
Not to mention the number of times you finish a task but it is not recognized as completed (support tickets are useless). I also preferred the old version, with that I managed to get the He-219, the american Bf-109, several crew slots, and surely something else that I don't remember now.
i feel like they could easily make so much more if they just brought back the old version again but now they're too busy promoting the app using youtubers :(

i dont think gaijin themselves would be that eager to give away GE for free, with this app at least the snail gets paid. I do wish the wt companion app was useful somehow tho
The initial 1000 GE are less than 5€, so in my opinion none of this is worth it. But I have a job and make money, I understand if people who still go through their education feel like its worth it. Still, they could mow the neighbors lawn or whatever and would have a WAY better hourly Golden Eagle "Wage", without selling their user data.
to be fair, the firstt 1000GE can just be done while you're sideclimbing and takes very little effort, but yeah 100% even if we're being charitable, the app overall is not worth it unless you're leeching off of other people
Not to criticize you here, but... Mowing the neighbors' lawn is a bit impossible if you live in a city...Especially one that is in a ex-communist country. And yeah, leaving the game running in the background while doing homework is viable especially if it's one of those idle games.
@Rob-326 i mean i think you get their point, it doesn't have to be mowing lawns but there are a lot of ways of just earning money by doing a job irl, and it is much more efficient to get GE that way. Still for the amount of effort you can still make the app kind of useful if you have dead time
I once used it to get 100 ge installed a game which i played for 2 weeks to achieve the required lvl to get the GE - never saw my reward. surprised that some WT ytbers still recommend this shid. PS: update on my T-72 Moderna lost coupon about which i mentioned in comments on one of your vids, i messaged gaijin support saying that i spent my time on this event and would like to recover it and they replied that unfortunately they don't give a fk about me, few clicks and pixels is likely task too advanced for them, such support. This actually fits their whole masterplan, they probably thought "if we won't give it to him he will probably buy it sooner or later, ka-chinnnng" I will spread opinnion about this marvelous support where i can.
they get paid to, they've probably never used the app themselves. the redeeming is very finnicky and you always have to launch the mobile games from the free GE app for it to redeem, but it does work, i've gotten 1000GE ish from it. But yea sometimes the games don't give you the reward at all and there's nothing you can do with it, for the most part this app is a massive waste of time
The best and safe way to make golden eagles for free is the play the in-game event that gives event vehicles that you can sell in the marketplace, earn the vehicle and the coupon that allows you to sell the vehicle, then sell it in the marketplace for GJN and then use those GJN to but Golden Eagle packs
one thing i want to say is that the app does actually work for console players too, as long as you have connected an email to the account through gaijin
hmmm yeah the app itself says it doesnt support ps, xbox, ios, android versions of the game so that's the official stance of the game, its neat that it worked for u tho
Am I the only one watching the intro to this video and going "I watch War Thunder videos daily and I have literally never seen or heard of this app or seen it as a sponsorship'
@bellidrael7457 huh, I guess it depends on who you watch. All of the youtubers in the thumbnail have at one point or another been sponsored by one if the apps, though at different times and for a different number of videos. I think smigol time is the most notorious for doing it the most, but defyn got on the bandwagon recently too
@CatWerfer I personally watch DollarPlays, Spookston, and other random videos... which now that I think about it, I dont think they do sponsors much at all.
my strategy is just take it the way it is and no longer caring about deaths because top tier is so one-nation sided it's impossible to do anything. However I do care about KD on bad props and any subsonic jet.
So been using it since 2015 i guess and all I can say is if u have time to grind all those games for the rewards just get a job and buy GE or get the event vehicles and sell those.
@ yes, and sometime ago someone posted the rate of the 60k SL boxes and the rate for a vehicle its 0.00023 aprox one zero more or less. The rate for gold eas something like that too. Thats because that kind of prizes make Gengin “lose” money.
After playing war thunder for over 4300 hours and not spending a cent, i'm confident to say i've cost gaijin some amount of money to store my data and host the game for me.
i guess that might be true but i think its also a valid argument that gaijin benefits alot more from having a f2p player than if you were to quit the game. obviously they'd like you to pay but they still like having a playercount
Not gonna lie this kind of app back then was a god send when I was a poor student back in 2015-2016 I think my payout was almost 5000 GE, of course I know this kind of app was selling my information so I used burner Gmail account on android simulator, if the payout getting shittier I just switch agent on the simulator and become new device, the payout was still low, the biggest is about 150-200GE, I think I need about a week for that amount of GE, it's the biggest grind I've done for War Thunder, even the crafting event was less grindier than this
I earned my T-35 through the free GE app. working a job at minimum wage is faster but being a clickworker pushing buttons is nice lazy work. glory to the T-35.
Depending on a currency's strength or an individual's ability to work (age or disability) it may be worth it. However, for 80% of the people watching you're better off working part time somewhere and buying the GE outright.
i didnt think about currencies in other countries, that was an oversight on my end. It's not worth it for me but i can see now that it is worth it for other people. It's also still okay if you just have dead time like climbing in battle.
I really wish so that gaijin would give you ge that you earned in wt mobile. It would have been such a good way to make people play the mobile version.
Do it only with a fresh bought number and even a old used mobile device, don't continue after you got some of the high rewarded GE your time is more worth than this. Play the game and unlock other nation tanks is more fun.
In my opinion: This is a no, as it doesn't work where I live, I've heard a lot of people say it's a scam, more so than people defending it. Also, it's very very slow, if you're gonna use an app for like 130 GE per month, you're better of getting a job as then you can not only get GE but also pack vehicles and even maybe a marketplace item, also you wouldn't even be able to use it to consistenly have premium on your account. Also getting a job would be better for you in the long term, having disposable income that you can spend on the game you have a love hate relationship with is better than doing stupid stuff in mobile games. Having a job could also make you quit your War Thunder addiction and do something else than play the same game over and over again and again.
i have gotten 1000GE from the app so it is "legit" in that it does work as intended. It's definitely not time efficient and a job would be a much better time investment, but i think people misrepresent it to be a "scam" when they mean "a waste of time". Don't use the app as a primary way of getting GE but if you're sideclimbing and have nothing better to do, it doesn't hurt to open the app up and get a few 100 GE while you have dead time
I mean I will admit that there is actual scams that are designed to steal account be mindful of it before you get sponsored! And test the apps if they don't break the TOS of Gaijin and if they accept third party surveys.
Bro I tried it and its not. Sketchy apps I wouldn't install otherwise and every other worthwhile task being an in app purchase that is significantly more expensive than the GE value you would get makes it a waste of time. The amount of time needed would be better spent at a job getting money to feed the snail with while not being as soul sucking
I thought these were grey areas with how legit they were, i would feel more comfortable buying ge with my own money, and supporting the people who actualy make the game. Because without gaijin making money, there wouldnt be warthunder with its level of updates and content. Thats how I feel.
Gaijin is still getting paid exactly the same when you use the app. The 3rd party advertiser pays the free ge app and the free ge app uses a portion of its revenue to pay gaijin to give you GE every time you complete a task
When I check out the emerald tasks, I have to actually complete levels instead of leave it running to earn ge. Do you know if they changed it or is it a personal issue?
I can't say for sure but it seems like the app might be gone for Apple, it's still here for me and I'm on android but my friend with apple says it's gone for him
that's unfortunate... there seem to be some people for which the app just doesnt seem to work, but I can't speak on that because it gave me the GE payouts and I've never had issues with that myself, so I don't know what other people are doing wrong... are you on console?
i got this question a lot so i responded to it in the pinned comment. the app is allowed by gaijin, since they get paid one way or another. It isn't a scam by definition, and basically 3rd party advertisers pay gaijin to give you GE whenever you do tasks made by the advertisers. the free GE app takes a cut as the middleman. so either way, gaijin profits. to them it's no different from someone using their own money to buy GE
@@CatWerfer You know? I can relate to this a bit as well xD. I mostly draw on paper, I've tried digital drawing before but... I only have a mouse so you can imagine how painful that can get.
@@RushZ3r yeah some people manage to make mouse drawings work but those people are insane lol. I've also seen people start on paper, take a filtered photo, and finish the rest in photoshop, which creates an interesting effect... It is reallly nice having an undo button in digital tho, i would recommend trying it with a cheap tablet or ipad if you can, i use my laptop touchscreen and it works well enough
Ok but hear me out I wanna boost the research of tank that is miserable to grind but also don’t want to spend money on it because then I would feel like I’d have wasted money on something I could’ve just grinded smh
Well, its your choice to make. I'm not saying you should never use it, just that for most people it won't be worth their time. Still doesn't hurt to try tho and you need to decide for your specific case whether it's worth it or not on your own
@skurtlil1104 i personally feel bad lying in surveys. Some of them are likely not out to cause harm but for genuine research purposes, and feeding them false info feels bad to me. I have no way to distinguish genuine vs data harvesting surveys so I just won't do them
well i cant do this, because i have a war thunder steam account not gaijin. So if anyone knows how to switch/link steam+gaijin [steam but you can get the rewards from gaijin from sponsors or this] please tell me.
It takes so much time and effort to enter random garbage in the surveys for minimal payout, it makes a min wage job seem great. I'm wondering if anyone is deranged enough to use long term.
obviously not as a main way to get ge but some people are saying they like mobile games for killing dead time so i think for those kinds of people its not terrible since they were gonna be playing mobile games anyways. but otherwise yeah its unbelievably inefficient with your time

to be fair, the firstt 1000GE can just be done while you're sideclimbing and takes very little effort, but yeah 100% even if we're being charitable, the app overall is not worth it unless you're leeching off of other people
Not to criticize you here, but...
Mowing the neighbors' lawn is a bit impossible if you live in a city...Especially one that is in a ex-communist country.
And yeah, leaving the game running in the background while doing homework is viable especially if it's one of those idle games.
@Rob-326 i mean i think you get their point, it doesn't have to be mowing lawns but there are a lot of ways of just earning money by doing a job irl, and it is much more efficient to get GE that way. Still for the amount of effort you can still make the app kind of useful if you have dead time
i would say, yes, it is worth it. Using the app back when i was still in highschool allowed me to get my first premium, the t14.
for you sure, but it depends on the person and their situation
The AK-12 Thumbnail is Beautiful.
I once used it to get 100 ge installed a game which i played for 2 weeks to achieve the required lvl to get the GE - never saw my reward. surprised that some WT ytbers still recommend this shid.
PS: update on my T-72 Moderna lost coupon about which i mentioned in comments on one of your vids, i messaged gaijin support saying that i spent my time on this event and would like to recover it and they replied that unfortunately they don't give a fk about me, few clicks and pixels is likely task too advanced for them, such support. This actually fits their whole masterplan, they probably thought "if we won't give it to him he will probably buy it sooner or later, ka-chinnnng"
I will spread opinnion about this marvelous support where i can.
they get paid to, they've probably never used the app themselves.
the redeeming is very finnicky and you always have to launch the mobile games from the free GE app for it to redeem, but it does work, i've gotten 1000GE ish from it.
But yea sometimes the games don't give you the reward at all and there's nothing you can do with it, for the most part this app is a massive waste of time
@@CatWerfer few GE like 3-10 reward worked for me, but i learned lesson on 100 bait and never gonna fell for it again, fk em.
@@penclaw I feel like they definitely prey on people who come in from all the youtube sponsorships and don't know much about the app

The best and safe way to make golden eagles for free is the play the in-game event that gives event vehicles that you can sell in the marketplace, earn the vehicle and the coupon that allows you to sell the vehicle, then sell it in the marketplace for GJN and then use those GJN to but Golden Eagle packs
...did you watch the video? cuz i say as much in it
The anime in the thumbnail has hurt me and left me scarred
@@samemz villain arc started because anime drawing
one thing i want to say is that the app does actually work for console players too, as long as you have connected an email to the account through gaijin
oh huh the source i used to check said you couldn't thats interesting
@@CatWerfer yeah, i was confused by that too, but i tried using the email i linked to my psn account and was surprised that the ge actually came in
hmmm yeah the app itself says it doesnt support ps, xbox, ios, android versions of the game so that's the official stance of the game, its neat that it worked for u tho
At least I got a real good information about what this app is really about
lol appreciate the comment, i do wish it was better but i guess nothing in life is really free :(
I don’t…. Understand why people are hating on your drawing in the thumbnail??? The drawing is really good!
thanks! i dont think they are, im just sayin it as a joke
@ ohhh ok ok
Am I the only one watching the intro to this video and going "I watch War Thunder videos daily and I have literally never seen or heard of this app or seen it as a sponsorship'
@bellidrael7457 huh, I guess it depends on who you watch. All of the youtubers in the thumbnail have at one point or another been sponsored by one if the apps, though at different times and for a different number of videos. I think smigol time is the most notorious for doing it the most, but defyn got on the bandwagon recently too
@CatWerfer I personally watch DollarPlays, Spookston, and other random videos... which now that I think about it, I dont think they do sponsors much at all.
@bellidrael7457 yeah, those guys haven't done this sponsorship
Bro your videos are top notch
Thanks! Glad that the time and effort shows :)
Ty for the insightful video
Brings me back to 2015/16 Got my first golden eagles using app back then.
yeah searching the emails and finding out that was back in 2016.... that was a throwback
if only they have enlisted version of it because i'm not playing war thunder anymore
God's work right here
Great video!
Ace Attorney music really does help to pay attention.
God bless, Jesus loves you!
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!
my strategy is just take it the way it is and no longer caring about deaths because top tier is so one-nation sided it's impossible to do anything. However I do care about KD on bad props and any subsonic jet.
Smiga has promoted the shit outa this so I’m interested to see what’s really goin on
lol i can hear smigol reading the sponsor script in my head....
So been using it since 2015 i guess and all I can say is if u have time to grind all those games for the rewards just get a job and buy GE or get the event vehicles and sell those.
I think the rate of 0,27% of the loot box for 250 golden coins its already better than the loot box of every 14 days in WT.
i dont think ive ever gotten anything other than backups in the ingame war thunder daily crate, its basically impossible lol
@ yes, and sometime ago someone posted the rate of the 60k SL boxes and the rate for a vehicle its 0.00023 aprox one zero more or less. The rate for gold eas something like that too. Thats because that kind of prizes make Gengin “lose” money.
After playing war thunder for over 4300 hours and not spending a cent, i'm confident to say i've cost gaijin some amount of money to store my data and host the game for me.
i guess that might be true but i think its also a valid argument that gaijin benefits alot more from having a f2p player than if you were to quit the game. obviously they'd like you to pay but they still like having a playercount
Not gonna lie this kind of app back then was a god send when I was a poor student back in 2015-2016 I think my payout was almost 5000 GE, of course I know this kind of app was selling my information so I used burner Gmail account on android simulator, if the payout getting shittier I just switch agent on the simulator and become new device, the payout was still low, the biggest is about 150-200GE, I think I need about a week for that amount of GE, it's the biggest grind I've done for War Thunder, even the crafting event was less grindier than this
Yeah im glad i wasn't hallucinating that the old app used to be so much better
This seems a lot like the classic “Free Robux” scam from back in my day
Well i mean it works, its just not worth your time
I earned my T-35 through the free GE app. working a job at minimum wage is faster but being a clickworker pushing buttons is nice lazy work.
glory to the T-35.
yup, not efficient as a main GE grind method, but still pretty brain-off to do while you have dead time
i thought for sure it was a scam like a robux geberator or somthing still not worth it
Yup
@@CatWerfer erm how do you earn ge for the mobile version of wt
@@Kashimo_Glazer123 I dont think it works for mobile but i havent tested it i dont play mobile
Even some of the robux generators work.
**cries in console and iphone**
ngl as a (mainly) WoT player, it's just Gold For Tanks app but in WT 💀
yeah i think these apps exist for a lot of games
Depending on a currency's strength or an individual's ability to work (age or disability) it may be worth it.
However, for 80% of the people watching you're better off working part time somewhere and buying the GE outright.
i didnt think about currencies in other countries, that was an oversight on my end. It's not worth it for me but i can see now that it is worth it for other people. It's also still okay if you just have dead time like climbing in battle.
I really wish so that gaijin would give you ge that you earned in wt mobile. It would have been such a good way to make people play the mobile version.
Do it only with a fresh bought number and even a old used mobile device, don't continue after you got some of the high rewarded GE your time is more worth than this. Play the game and unlock other nation tanks is more fun.

YOu can also donate blood if youre over 18 and they will give you around 50€ (in my country)
@@OrcaLoddy is it really a "donation" if you get paid to do it? Lol i guess if it works then go for it
In my opinion:
This is a no, as it doesn't work where I live, I've heard a lot of people say it's a scam, more so than people defending it. Also, it's very very slow, if you're gonna use an app for like 130 GE per month, you're better of getting a job as then you can not only get GE but also pack vehicles and even maybe a marketplace item, also you wouldn't even be able to use it to consistenly have premium on your account. Also getting a job would be better for you in the long term, having disposable income that you can spend on the game you have a love hate relationship with is better than doing stupid stuff in mobile games. Having a job could also make you quit your War Thunder addiction and do something else than play the same game over and over again and again.
i have gotten 1000GE from the app so it is "legit" in that it does work as intended. It's definitely not time efficient and a job would be a much better time investment, but i think people misrepresent it to be a "scam" when they mean "a waste of time". Don't use the app as a primary way of getting GE but if you're sideclimbing and have nothing better to do, it doesn't hurt to open the app up and get a few 100 GE while you have dead time
nice AK12 pic
I mean I will admit that there is actual scams that are designed to steal account be mindful of it before you get sponsored!
And test the apps if they don't break the TOS of Gaijin and if they accept third party surveys.
Bro I tried it and its not. Sketchy apps I wouldn't install otherwise and every other worthwhile task being an in app purchase that is significantly more expensive than the GE value you would get makes it a waste of time. The amount of time needed would be better spent at a job getting money to feed the snail with while not being as soul sucking

@@CatWerfer hell yeah
I thought these were grey areas with how legit they were, i would feel more comfortable buying ge with my own money, and supporting the people who actualy make the game. Because without gaijin making money, there wouldnt be warthunder with its level of updates and content. Thats how I feel.
Gaijin is still getting paid exactly the same when you use the app. The 3rd party advertiser pays the free ge app and the free ge app uses a portion of its revenue to pay gaijin to give you GE every time you complete a task
The ge for wt app doesn’t appear for me on the App Store… hmmm
huh that's odd, its still there for me...
Im only here bc of the anime pic
click for ak12 stay for ge
Well i kind of hate it since when i had it basically most offers that i have achieved goals it didnt work
i just tried looking at the Emerald Tasks and i couldnt find the timed rewards
huh thats odd, i didnt know it varied between people
When I check out the emerald tasks, I have to actually complete levels instead of leave it running to earn ge. Do you know if they changed it or is it a personal issue?
ive heard some other people have that situation too, maybe they got rid of them. If that's the case then the app is pretty worthless

i don't think so, s far as I know
The best offers are the fake gift giveaways and just imput fake info, and it sometimes gives a payout, but 2 dollars an hour is not worth anyones time
yup, i didn't think to try and put fake info in when i was a kid lol

that's unfortunate... there seem to be some people for which the app just doesnt seem to work, but I can't speak on that because it gave me the GE payouts and I've never had issues with that myself, so I don't know what other people are doing wrong...
are you on console?
i send 210 GE to my account but they never arrived...
hm i cant say for sure why that would happen
Ok but is it allowed by gaijin? I’ve spent too much time grinding to have my account deleted
i got this question a lot so i responded to it in the pinned comment.
the app is allowed by gaijin, since they get paid one way or another. It isn't a scam by definition, and basically 3rd party advertisers pay gaijin to give you GE whenever you do tasks made by the advertisers. the free GE app takes a cut as the middleman.
so either way, gaijin profits. to them it's no different from someone using their own money to buy GE

@@RushZ3r yeah some people manage to make mouse drawings work but those people are insane lol.
I've also seen people start on paper, take a filtered photo, and finish the rest in photoshop, which creates an interesting effect...
It is reallly nice having an undo button in digital tho, i would recommend trying it with a cheap tablet or ipad if you can, i use my laptop touchscreen and it works well enough
