Hey Justin, If you really want to feel welcome you can post your opinion on your medium of choice, and why... you'll really feel the love.
Once an artist pushes a button instead of picking up a pencil, they loose the moral high ground as far as I'm concerned. Was Da Vinci a Nikon or Canon man? Film or digital? When I begin a painting from a photo I've already used 3 high-tech machines before I make a mark on the canvass (digital camera, computer, printer). When I take my camera with me landscape painting I often become a photographer instead of a painter.
Q. Why would a "real" artist bring a camera and take pictures instead of sketching?
A. It's easier than drawing.
Q. Why would a "real" artist use a Projector instead of drawing direct from the photo.
A. Refer to above answer.
The world is full of bankrupt idealists who measure integrity with their own personal sliding scale.
Keep working and you will grow. There is no one right way that fits everyone.
Peace,
