Traditional Artist tries Digital Art for the first time! (what I learned)

Digital Art vs. Traditional Art… what are your thoughts?

What brushes did you use??

Watching you paint is a religious experience

Sieht großartich aus! Wie alle Deiner Werke!
Hast Du jemals Realistic Paint Studio ausprobiert? Ich bin drauf gekommen, als Du das mit dem "ach-so-innovativen" Farbmixen erwähntest. Bei diesem Programm ist alles-wirklich alles-intuitiv. Und es ist neben Krita mein Lieblingsprogramm. Kostenlos dazu. Beide. Also you'll give it a try? O.O

When I was a child I drew things for school, but I didn't feel inspired by anything until 20 years later thanks to my 13-year-old sister.
Am I sometimes sad because I'm so old? but I would also like to see my process and the drawing style I could have in the future, that excites me a lot and that is why I continue practicing.

It's a great painting and I agree that one can be paralyzed by the endless choices available in the digital medium.

What program do you use??

three words i loved it

He called himself a noob at digital art when he made this masterpiece in first try😂

Love love love this work…..

wow.. the artwork in this video made me really want to learn painting like this digitally! sadly I'm still a drawing noob.. but whoa.. she's beautiful. The textures make it sooo lovely to look at. Unlimited paint for free, this sounds great

I loved watching this process. And the results are so impressive. I am an oil painter and do mostly realistic work. But I like experimenting with new mediums as well. I will definitely try this someday. Right now I am in the process of relocating across the country. And it may be months before I have a new studio built or set up. But art is so much of who I am that it will definitely happen. Thanks to your amazing demonstration I am intrigued! Can’t wait!! Many blessings and continued success.

''I knew exactly what I wanted, but I couldn't get that'' me with the brush economy and the mixer brush

I consider digital painting and traditional painting as one and the same thing. LIke my art teacher used to say, "with a good software, you basically have access to a whole artistic workshop in just one computer, the reste is the same".
For me, the nice part with digital is the ability to correct errors or change things way more easily than with traditional material. I still prefer the mix of techniques : drawing and lining with a classic pen on a paper sheet, scan it, modify it and then color everything digitally.
Still, all the knowledge and technique remains the same : highlights, shadows, volume, proportion, match of color, no difference.

Killed it

If you want to get better at your digital painting, start painting with physical mediums. You get way more benefit from paints to digital than digital to paints.

We to be honest I also wanted to become an Artist..well i still have choice because now I am 18 but due to mom(not in a bad sense because of low income and low success rate)Thats why I am studing medical now...But still i never stop doing art I always made an art and my mom always love my drawings...🤗🤗👍👍

fantastic

Digital art will NEVER be completely yours. What you create is an extension of whomever programmed the various brushes, wrote the coding for how the program saves the data file, how fast the stylus reacts or doesn't react, automatic curving of lines, the blending, I could go for an hour. I know someone might argue if others make your paint brushes, paint and perhaps canvas, then according to me they should receive credit for traditional art pieces. But this isn't a good comparison I think, a better comparison would be another artist holding and guiding your hand as you paint.

can u make tutorials on this process

Why only blue eyes and not brown?

It’s was really beautiful, you wouldn’t know you didn’t have any experience

The amount of options in digital painting is struggle for me too. I don't like it because it's too stresfull for me. But I have one exception which is pixel art. This digital medium is soo straight forward: one, two brushes, sharp stroke edges, maybe some line, rectangle etc. options and thats it. It's only digital medium which I like to work with.

I adore your art-style!💖 You did great!!

you did amazing

This digital painting application works fine for you because you are a great painter already. A less talented artist wouldn’t cope even with the most powerful tools available.

Either paint or digital, you've got it mastered... you're painting technique is off the charts!

Digital art is easy, when you started of learning traditional first.

For people saying Digital art is not a real art are just naive and most likely don't have any access to it, because at one point modern art and abstract art was also deemed to be not a real art because people just didn't understand and don't know how to make it.

What app is this? It doesn’t look like procreate

What sort of tablet device were you using?
I'm thinking of getting something new, but have no idea what to go for 😅

You did such a gorgeous job!! I really love how your digital painting turned out! I also had a very similar experience since I paint and drew traditionally. The layers and pressing buttons in order to blend were very awkward at first. But I made something work out where I took a "traditional approach" to paint my digital art. Since I have way more experience traditionally. It's all about the experience and getting to know your tools and how to work with them and see what possible effects they can make. But thank you for sharing your experience and hopping to see art videos like these in the future. Have fun painting! Keep up the amazing work!

Digital art is so overwhelming for me. It takes me long to even just draw the head in comparison to traditional art. Starting digital art made me feel like an art baby again.

Echt schön geworden

I really wanted to start digital art so badd, your art is lit mateee…

I have this same feeling when doing digital art, I like it, but it can be daunting with the possibilities

Try Procreate 🙋🏻‍♂️

You are a very talented artist!

I don't quite understand why you didn't took a more traditional approach, specially on the shaping stage. You could have! However I see you got into the digital process and that take some courage. My respect man

I’ve done traditional for years but last Christmas my husband and I saved and saved and he bought me a new top of the line Samsung tablet and a subscription for CSP. My birthday is the day after Christmas and he gave me the Clip Studio tabmate. I’ve never received a gift I’d wanted more or was so nice and expensive and thoughtful. I have done everything I can to try and transfer over to digital but I’m having the hardest time. Every time I’m using traditional art supplies I see my husbands face get a little sad. He also understands and supports fully that I want to move to art full time at some point and he knows that digital art and having social media presence is the way to go. He even bought me a tri pod and some light boxes and stuff. It’s kills me even more because for the first time I have someone who loves and supports me fully and I know how lucky I am and failing is breaking my heart. I feel awful. Clip studio paint and the tabmate are incredibly professional. I didn’t have a dedicated drawing tablet as my husband uses the PC for work and gaming/streaming and I worried I’d fall behind on learning from artists who used keyboard shortcuts and the Tabmate has saved me there. I love the software but I’m overwhelmed by all the options and tools. It’s like choice paralysis and I get so overwhelmed I forget all my art fundamentals. I just need to dedicate more time and be consistent and just not put so much pressure on myself but damn digital is way harder than I ever thought it would be. Most of my art has been through the fee and texture and use and restrictions of the art supplies I’m using. It gave me parameters to work within and I knew how to use them best for my needs. Digital is overload for me.
Day at a time. That’s all I can do.

I guess it applies to the opposite as well. an artist that's used to mostly drawing digitally might feel overwhelmed by the many tools a Traditional artist would use. "Do I use a fan brush or oval brush? Do I use turpentine or paint thinner?" But it's easy to decide what you need to use when you're already familiar with your arsenal when you know what you're doing, it's not daunting

Apple pencil being absolute garbage for precision makes it even harder, they need to get rid of that awful tip on it

What a good advertising. It is really really cool to watch you talk about it. Enjoyed everything of it!

Currently thinking of trying to improve my ass art skills by investing in a tablet or something. I just really hate reerasing my mistakes over and over because im not comfortable with drawing angles and anatomy, so something as awesome as an undo button could frustrate me less. Coloring on the other hand is probably going to be even more of a pain through another way than i already have to deal with in traditional art.

Well done. Always amazing to see how traditional painter sees digital tools 😊

you are wrong about it being very easy to make decent digital art, its easy because you are already excellent at drawing.

Maybe I'm too old now at 38, but I agree that digital art gives me too many options and I prefer physical medium for final paintings. I'm spoiled by digital for my planning process, though! I love cropping, color changing and adding elements in Photoshop to give me better references. I can't imagine not being able to use digital tools to make sure my ideas come together visually before putting even a sketch on my canvas.

I am a traditional artist too and I’m happy for it because digital art is not worth to invest too especially ai plus is not only canvas you can make sculptures, tools, and other materials to make it special

Lovely. I'm insipired.

Your very clever by not showing you color pallette or techniques 🤦‍♀️.we already get the mind of the artist.
