digital sketchbook - Are the traditional ways of working being eradicated?

I found this tumblr whilst researching in to digital sketchbooks. 
Like your average sketchbook it is full of images the person wants to convey there work around. Cengmans work looks to be fashion based. with strong imagery that has been photos hoped to overlay text.

The differences i have found whilst looking at online and digital blogs are that they are cleaner cut and more compelling to invite viewers rather than the manual hard back sketchbook which is personal and often private use.Digital sketchbooks could be useful in the sense of never have to cut and paste or print out relevant images. This takes away the personal aspect of a sketchbook because you are trying to please a viewer.

Here is another link to a Pinterest which is about the digital sketch book. Unlike before the images on this site are hand drawn illustrations which are either scanned or photographed then put on the internet. 

Online and digital sketchbooks are great for collecting resources and images quickly in one place. The images can vary and come from different location because of the internet. This makes it easier to find different artist and styles to accompany your work.

Blogs are mainly used for online and digital sketchbooks, its easy to like of favourite a piece or even repost it on a blog.this is great for artist because it means there work is easily accessible. whereas the work wouldn't be viewed until it is created and put in a gallery.
