I use acrylic for illustration and oils for my fine art. Acrylics are great for new artists and for learning because they dry fast. A secret for painting with acrylics is to keep a spray bottle of water near you to mist your work and palette to keep from drying too fast. Most of the crappy art from the 1960's was made in acrylic. A pro can use both. I use acrylic often for under paintings of my oils but I dont like to admit to it.
