Digital art is most popular in the Western countries today, especially in the US, Canada and UK. Part of the reason why it’s become so widespread over the past few years lies in its accessibility; digital art can be done on practically any computer, and can be shared through social media such as YouTube or Facebook with just a few clicks. It doesn’t matter where you live either; digital art can be done by anyone from anywhere, making it ideal for those who want to start their own art career but aren’t sure where to begin or have access to the right tools to do so.
What is Digital Art
Most digital artworks are created using software on a personal computer, with many additional aspects added using modern computers and electronics. For example, a digital artist may combine images and audio captured with a camera or microphone to create their work. Artists use computers in their studios just as they would any other kind of tool. Unlike some traditional artists, however, they also may have jobs as computer programmers or animators. In today’s post-modern world, there is no clear definition of what constitutes digital art. Also unlike many traditional mediums (such as painting), digital art can be created by anyone who has access to some sort of computer/electronic device; therefore it can be considered an accessible form of media to all.
How to make Digital Art
There are lots of digital artworks that have been introduced to us by many digital artists in recent years. They have introduced us to what’s possible with a mouse, a keyboard and Adobe Photoshop or some other image editor software. Once you start seeing art created using graphic programs like Photoshop, it’s hard not to be curious about how they did it. This sort of art usually relies on computer-generated imagery (CGI) as well as painting tools like brushes, drawing tools and filters. It can be just a few pixels or take up an entire screen.
Digital Artist Tips
Find your style. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, it can be hard to figure out what kind of art you want to make when you don’t know where to start. But once you find your style, it’s much easier to just focus on creating and posting what feels good in your gut.
There are a lot of terms for digital art styles; here are some common ones:
• Tumblr—Easy and simple digital art created with stock images. This look often uses one color with limited textures.
• Traditional—Digital artists who follow traditional techniques but use technology to help them, like animation and compositing tools.
