5. Introduction to Digital Drawing and Painting Bootcamp [5 Sessions | $698nett]

Digital drawing and digital painting refers to the process of creating artwork using digital tools and software. It involves using a digital drawing tablet or a computer with specialized software such as Adobe Photoshop, Procreate, or Clip Studio Paint, which offers a wide range of brushes, colours, and other digital tools.

In this course, you will learn the following:

  • These programs provide a digital canvas where artists can create and manipulate their artwork. Digital painting requires traditional painting skills as digital painting artworks are not premade and they are produced through a canvas through the software. With solid foundation of line, colouration, tonal, perspectives and imagination in traditional drawing, this would help to produce digital painting artworks in a more realistic form and present stronger 3D perspective effects.
  • Digital painting offers several advantages over traditional painting methods. It allows for easy undo and redo, while offering a wide range of digital brushes and effects. It also provides the convenience of working without the need for physical art supplies or extensive cleanup.

Basic tools:

  • iPad with Apple Pencil/Pencil with pen pressure with Procreate
  • Laptop + Drawing Tablet (Wacom/Huion ect.) *Let us know what digital medium you are using!

Pen pressure is crucial in creating good digital art, as it gives you the option of defining the thickness and heaviness of each stroke as if you are using a real pencil! This adds the feeling of depth to your work, making it more impressive.

Softwares that you can use:

Laptop users:

  • Free softwares like Krita or MediBang Paint works fine. If you have the budget, Photoshop would be the best choice.

iPad users:

Free softwares like Adobe Fresco or Clip Studio works fine. If you have the budget, Procreate will be the best choice.
