Digital painting has created new frontiers in design rendering. From portraits to still life, landscapes, space, action sequences, children’s book illustrations. Concept art, character design, science fiction, fantasy, full-length movies, and so much more.
Bitmap and vector programs are used to create digital painting projects. But the textures, lighting, brush techniques of digital paintings can be best achieved in bitmap applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, Corel Painter, Autodesk Sketchbook, and GIMP.
These digital painting tutorials start out from the basics and may be studied at your own pace. They are not speed painting or process reels that assume we already know what the artist is clicking. But do have a bit of practice sketching and drawing beforehand. Then these tutorial links will be gateways for to discover more techniques as you build your skills in digital painting.
