   The simplest answer would be: traditional art is anything you create without the aid of a computer. Eg: drawing with a pencil, painting with watercolour or oil paints, etc.

   Digital art is anything created wholly or partly with the aid of a computer, for example, a drawing coloured in Photoshop, or a drawing created in an art program with a pen tablet.

   Hope that cleared it up!

   Traditional = with a ”pencil” ( a wooden stick with some graphite / carbon in a hollowed out centre of it ).

   Digital = with a computer.

   Ok? Not too confusing for you!

   any artwork which is created with the help of a digitally operating device is meant to be as digital art. Creating a design in a design software, animating a visual in animation software etc.

   any artwork in which the artist is directly in contact with the medium is meant to be traditional art. Watercolor painting, Oil painting, Pencil drawing, Clay modeling etc.

   Traditional art refers to drawing, painting, sculpture and maybe even installation. It’s typically something physical; you can touch it. Digital art is something made using a computer as a tool. What you make can be produced physically, like a print or even a 3D positive using advanced instruments.
