Would you mind if I ask a question?

I have a question that I have wanted answered for a very long time. Here it is: For organic things, like for example a tree, is a tablet or mouse used to draw the art?

For example, see this thread http://wayofthepixel.net/index.php?topic=18320.0
You're probably going to tell me, you should go and ask their creator, but I want more of a general answer to this.
Thank you.

However, again, the tool depends on the user, and in my case it is quite possible to knock out a decent human model via mouse.

As an example, here is an edit i did for someone using only the mouse:
