My Digital Art Tools

By definition, digital artworks are made using digital technology. I have seen some cool dynamic image installations that I could spend forever watching and admire.

For me, I use my trusty iPad and Apple Pencil, as well as the beloved app, Procreate.

I used to be an enthusiastic photographer who loved post-processing in Photoshop, which made learning Procreate a lot easier.

I have taken a few online classes for Procreate and watched a ton of YouTube videos on it. 😃 Don’t you love the internet? It makes it so easy to learn anything!

There are pros and cons of using Procreate though, I will write a blog about it later so stay tuned.

Are you a digital artist? What tools do you use? Please leave a comment below and I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Digital Abstract Art

Digital art has been the new kid on the block for a while. It is gradually accepted by the art world, however, I feel that it is still not treated as seriously as the traditional media like oil painting or acrylic painting.

True, the end product doesn’t have the 3-d brushstrokes as an oil painting, and you don’t have the chance to pile layers of actual objects on the canvas to create a collage. However, the endless brushes and tools available in an app like Procreate or Photoshop give artists way more freedom and options than the traditional media and once you understand how to use them, it can take you to a whole new place and allow your creativity to soar to a new height.
