How to properly do it.
General Advice for Beginners:
📍The technology needed for digital art is both affordable and available online today.
I would pick multiple PCs, tablets, and programs you might use and research them. Make sure your hardware meets the recommended specs for the software you will be using.
Look up reviews or ask for recommendations by artists you follow, the more time you spend researching here the happier you will be with your purchase.
📍 Programs are much more than just a piece of paper so make sure you take advantage of the ones you use to make your digital art.
Even if you only plan on using one of these apps, using a tablet may change your preferences for software. Just as you did with the tablets, try out as many different apps as you can. Try free programs and use trials for any paid versions or apps.
📍 Digital art allows you to use the same physical tool, a stylus or mouse, to get access to an infinite amount of pencils, brushes, sprays, etc.
While the physical method of use for a stylus remains closest to a pencil you can produce the same exact strokes and output of watercolors, paintings, sprays. Once you’ve developed a familiarity with your program of choice depending on its capabilities and features you can even create your own brushes.
(Photoshop, Illustrator, Krita, and GIMP all allow you to create custom brushes. Take advantage of this ability as it will really maximize the translation of your existing traditional skills over to digital.)
Having these basic Art Fundamentals helps you to start here to visually see the difference drawing on a tablet individually makes for you.
