    Digital art is like a different style for artist, but it still can be hand made. If someone uses tablet, or even a mouse to draw, the person still uses personal skills. As long as you use your hand (no matter tool) to actually draw the strokes etc. its hand-made for me.

    Now there is a digital art that is created procedurally. Maps also. Those are made by series of filters where one dont have do draw anyting by hand. Those are not hand-made imo.

    Every map drew digitally using tablet is unique same as traditional, because person dont use premade brushes for mountains etc. Every single mountain is drew anew. That makes map unique. Though it can be very simmilar in style its still unique. Same as traditional. The only difference? Tool.

    In a gist, everyting that is premade, or procedural is not hand-made, regardless its digital or not.
