I really thought--not even a year ago--that I would just be a traditional artist my entire life. Lets just say I am NOT a techy person, and the thought of combining computers with art produced a sort of glazed-over eye expression, and desire to run out of the room. But, I am pleased to annouce that even I...the girl who did not own a cellphone until my 2nd year of COLLEGE, or who cannot figure out Pintrest or Twitter, or who can't stand smart phones, is in love with making digital art.
Seriously people--if I can learn to draw and paint digitally, anything is possible (and I am still learning so much!) I've only been tinkering with painting in Photoshop since January, but I don't think I will do anything else. Working digitally, you have an incredible capacity to edit your work..which I LOVE--because I am not very neat when I sketch and I hate redrawing things a million times. There are also quick effects you can apply to your images that make them more interesting (warm color glazes, texture...)
Another huge plus of digital art? Lets just say trying to paint with a baby in the house would be basically impossible! The no-mess factor is a huge plus!
So, alas, I have joined the thousands of other illustrators, and jumped on the Photoshop bandwagon!
