Both traditional and digital painting would represent the way artists perceive the world and their feelings. Traditional and digital painting both reflects artists’ art thoughts and their culture refinement. No matter traditional or digital painting artworks, art appreciators would be amazed by the idea of conceptualisation showcased by different artists through colour, composition, style, point and line to plane presentations.

But digital art on the other hand, is comparatively more forgiving than traditional art as there is flexibility for corrections to be made.

past student digital artwork

Additionally, traditional and digital painting are different in terms of tools used. Traditional drawing requires paper, pencil, charcoal, brush, canvas with paints etc. Digital painting uses stylus pen, tablet and painting software. To edit or add to a special facial texture effect or special texture feel, it would be a complex and challenging task during the traditional drawing and painting process. It takes years to master such special texture drawing skills! Meanwhile, digital painting would present a stronger drawing effect and more realistic object’s texture with spatial perception. Furthermore, it is easy for digital painting to edit!

It may come as a surprise, but digital art softwares today now comes with as many tools as a traditional art medium!
