Hi All! I want to learn digital art as I find it very interesting but I am not sure how and where to start.
Could you please guide me on how I can start learning digital art?
Thank you in advance!!

I’m looking for a digital art app where I could start creating, but I’m not sure which one to choose. I’d love to hear what you use, what you enjoy creating in, and which app you’d recommend for a beginner. Any tips are welcome!

I've been trying to draw a couple characters in different angles, side profile, 3/4, front.
But with every angle the character looks completely different, how can i keep this from happening?

My girlfriend is a fantastic digital artist, and wants nothing more than to make her living in artistic endeavors. She has had commissions here and there but has a really difficult time putting herself out there. She's asked me to essentially be her manager and take care of the business side of things. What do I need to do to get her art business organized and get her in front of potential customers?

Hello, so it’s pretty upfront like the title says. I’m starting a new college semester and I wanted to buy a drawing iPad but as I was doing so I also started to think about how I need a new laptop for classes and so I need reasonable prices for drawing and working iPads or laptops! ( btw it doesn’t have to be a apple product can be whatever. please lmk if this post is against guidelines! )

If I take a collection of photos and just start trying to paint them as accurately as possible, will I learn colour theory or what exactly would I be learning. For example 10 different selfie photos and just working on each one daily.

hello everyone! I was wondering if anybody who has procreate pocket deem it as a worth it purchase? Ik it might seem cheap for some folks, but to my currency its pretty expensive so Im second guessing whether its actually worth it. I dont draw regularly but I do draw for a few days, and stop for a bit when Im done with a piece. I really wanna buy it since It seems like such a good app to use but maybe you all have some better recommendations since I am getting a pc and i wont be able to use procreate there(afaik).

I’m thinking of using manga studio 5 simply because it would be cheaper then clip studio paint I think the dated software would be easier to use also because of nostalgia but does anyone use it anymore I only know about one person who still does but does anyone else I’m wondering

Hey, I’m starting to learn digital art and I’m stuck between choosing Krita or GoPaint.

I want to actually get good at art, not just make random drawings. I’m planning to learn the basics like perspective, anatomy, lighting, etc., but I also want to keep drawing fun so I don’t burn out.

My problem is:

My brain says Krita because it’s probably the "better" learning tool. It’s been around forever, has a huge community, tons of tutorials, and seems more professional.

But I keep leaning toward GoPaint because it just looks more enjoyable to use. The brushes and painting feel seem really nice, and I feel like I’d actually want to open it every day.

For people who have used either (or both):

Would starting with GoPaint hurt my learning?

Is there anything important Krita has that a beginner would actually miss?

Does the software really matter, or should I just pick the one I enjoy using?

Would love to hear your experiences. Thanks. 🙂

I'm looking for a budget non-screen drawing tablet for taking notes and digital art, so I'm contemplating which to buy since they're both around the same price. I heard Huion H640p is an older model than the XP deco, but I'm not sure what the users would recommend the most. I want a durable and reliable one so my money is worth it T^T

Hey everyone!

Okay so I am a complete beginner in drawing. I used to draw as a child, but it was mostly just copying things. I never really drew from imagination. I also don’t consider myself a particularly creative person.

For the past few days I have been thinking about getting into digital art. I know it’s going to be difficult but I am willing to dedicate at least an hour every day.

I need some genuine guidance on where I should start. Please suggest me any beginner friendly videos, courses, tutorials or anything that could help me build a strong foundation.

Also I have an android tablet. Will that be sufficient for now?

Thank you in advance.
