Now if you want some top-tier learning have a look at our list of premium courses on digital painting. Those are much more detailed than free tutorials, but they also come with a price tag. My personal preference is the Paintable library which we actually mention in this post just their free stuff. Make sure to practice drawing on your own time and study the fundamentals like light, perspective, and form.
These fundamental skills teach you so much that will apply directly to digital painting. It takes hard work to become an artist and start producing great work. But digital art can be a tad easier if you have the right workflow.
This guide gives you a rundown of equipment and software you might want to look at as a beginning digital artist. This video introduces Photoshop brushes and how to use them so you can get an idea of how to achieve the same look you could with actual brushes.
Generally this list of 10 awesome tips can help you gain confidence and get comfortable with digital painting. This video offers a quick coloring method using a large brush and flat colors to build up forms before you even think about shading. And then it gets into blending once you have color and composition figured out.
It also talks about keyboard shortcuts for picking colors. But give this video tutorial a try. It walks you through the entire process of creating a digital portrait from the basic sketch to the final details.
Much of this video centers around the discussion of digital art, but it gets into a tutorial around the 3 minute mark. This will guide you through an entire method of sketching, outlining, and finally painting a creature design. All within Photoshop and all with some basic rendering techniques anyone can learn. The artist uses a popular technique of starting with flat gray and adding shadows and highlights to build up forms.
This is something you can copy in your own work to get similar results. Opacity and flow are two different variables you can play with to get different effects with a single brush. Painting digitally will take time to learn. But it helps a lot if you already have a line drawing.
It also talks about color, lighting, and shading. Whichever you prefer! Landscapes are a huge part of digital art and concept art. Try this blending tutorial for using brushes and pressure to create some nice effects on a drawing tablet. Blending is an art that can take a while to master but this video will prove incredibly useful to getting you started. The artist will show you how to quickly fill large areas, how to use transparency to work quicker, how to keep your layers organized, and how to quickly shade and highlight larger areas.
Try this tutorial for creating leaves and foliage on trees without drawing each individual leaf. Because how often have you fallen into that trap? Very well written! It might have been useful to mention some things about styli or digital pens — like, the pen that comes with the tab may not suit everyone so there is the option of buying one separately….
Hi, David! Thanks so much for sharing with us! My 12 yr old daughter is really keen to get started with digital art, specifically comic creation. Reading your piece it sounds like the Wacom Intuos hooked up to a laptop is the way to go, does the laptop need to be any certain spec before I go ahead and purchase the tablet?
The non-display tablets like the Wacom Inutos are very much less demanding than, say, a tablet that acts as a second screen! Is it just me or are all the download links dead? Hi, friend! Which links are giving you the errors? I tried a couple, and they worked for me! Could you pls do a blog on drawing vs painting vs illustration vs sketching for absolute beginners? What are all these forms of digital art and how do they differ from each other? What are the stages or steps of creating digital art?
Can we use smartphones for it? I tried to google it but ended up more confused. Thank u so. Hi, Muhammad! Thanks so much for the suggestions! These are things that we actually cover in our Digital Painting Academy, which has a guided set of Learning Paths for even the most inexperienced beginner can learn the answers to these questions. Our goal is to prevent confusion when learning these new skills, and breaking them down so that you can understand them without all the buzz and confusion searching online would give you.
Wacom is a definite ideal tablet but they may be outside of what you want to pay. Take a big one, relatively the same size as your laptop screen. We see how so many people seem to be liking those for their display tablets more and more! Im interested to join. But seeing the previews it kinda look like more focused on portrait esp the detailed portrait? Im curious cuz im not focusing on portrait.
I do some portrait but not much. Im also not in realism or semi-realism style, i saw the previews mostly kinda realism, my artstyle that im interested to more like 2d illustration or simple painting illustration. I wonder if the course offers variety of styles and kind of digital art, or just the same one type. We do focus on portraiture to a degree, but we also cover painting techniques in general. If you look around the blog, we also cover painting for other things as well.
Have a wonderful day! Hi, my daughter is 12 years old and has an Inspiroy Hp Huion tablet. Is this ok? Also, I have heard she draws on SAI. Is this software ok at the moment of doing your courses? Please, let me know before I enroll. I want to be sure we have all the resources needed.
Hi, Yanina! Thanks for reaching out! Hope this helps, and see you soon! What important Photoshop features or functions that I should be aware of not found in other apps such as CPS?
Though almost all of our lessons are recorded in Adobe Photoshop, the vast majority of what we teach is app-independent. We focus mainly on teaching the really important stuff — the fundamental skills of digital painting like measurement, lighting, values and form, coloring, etc — rather than specific apps or tools.
As long as your program has capabilities to use brushes, layers, and layer styles like color dodge or multiply you should do just fine. I was a member of the academy recently, and I was able to follow every tutorial using CSP instead of photoshop, just needed to search for the equivalences.
The brushes will go straight into your Photoshop brush library. If you need more help with this, let us know at [email protected]. Can you use photoshop on the iPad Pro?
Are you teaching how to use the software? Do you do course on how to use Procreate? Also will your brushes work with Procreate? Thank you. Hi, Claudia! You can indeed use Photoshop on the iPad, but it is more limited than desktop in some functions. If you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] as well! Also which stylus is the best?
All suggestions welcome! Hi, Mrvls! We hope this guide helps and that you enjoy digitally painting with us! Unfortunately, we do not accept Paypal as a payment method at this time, apologies.
Hi, Dipak! Of course. An excellent programme, and the slimmed down version, Essentials, is really cheap. Great point! Corel Painter is excellent software and the slimmed down version Essentials is as good as it is affordable! It is great for both beginner and advanced artist alike, we mention it under other software. My name is Muhammad Farooq Shazli. I am a graphic designer but now an artist but I love Art.
I want to know that what If I am new for drawing and sketch, what couse do you have for and how you teach for bignners? But rememmber I am 42 years old man. The Digital Painting Academy is the right place for a beginner of any age! Hope this helps and Happy painting! We are looking into inexpensive options for our daughter to get started in this.
