Well, in my opinion - I feel digital art is much easier. 

Digital allows editing tools, colors, shade, sketch and so on. You can instantly compare between reference material. You will never have any problems like wet, drying, thick or thin. Edit tools have many features that help an artist a lot during fixing the mistakes like undo and redo which traditional art can’t. So mistakes can be corrected up to your desire. It allows you to mix different media. There are many softwares that allow users to use different art features and most importantly it helps you to save some hours of your time if you know how to use them correctly. 

In traditional art things are much harder. Fixing the mistakes can be a huge problem sometimes.Traditional ways require different materials and should be resupplied when it's finished. 

To be honest, both of the methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Whether an art is created digitally or traditionally, it serves the same purpose. Producing a good art still requires hard work no matter what the method. But in both methods it takes dedication and skill to make a proper art. The language of art is universal. It does not matter if its created digitally or traditionally, whether you look at a piece created by graphics or one done by paint and brush, they will both speak to you in the same manner.
