How has the creation and aesthetic of comic book style graphics evolved with the advent of digital tools?

The advent of digital tools has significantly evolved the creation and aesthetic of comic book style graphics. Digital software (Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop) has streamlined the process, offering undo functions, layers for non-destructive editing, and vast libraries of customizable brushes that mimic traditional media. Artists can now more easily simulate classic effects like halftone dots or textures, and color with greater precision and speed. Digital platforms have also enabled new forms of distribution (webcomics, digital comics) and even introduced possibilities for animation and interactivity within the comic medium, leading to hybrid styles and faster production cycles.
