traditional media, such as watercolor, oils, or acrylic &#8211; and now you\u2019re wondering.. \u201cwhat is digital painting?\u201d<\/p><p>Digital painting is a new medium that lets us create beautiful artwork, without the messiness of painting with inks or oils. It still requires many of the same skills and techniques as traditional painting (no, you can\u2019t just create art at the click of a button\u2026 yet), but it\u2019s also easier in many ways.<\/p><p><strong>Instead of painting on canvas or paper, digital painting allows you to paint directly onto a computer, which has a number of amazing advantages:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>It\u2019s a lot less messy, and you can do it in even the smallest spaces &#8211; as long as you&#8217;ve got space to set up your tablet (and possibly a computer), you\u2019re good to go!<\/li><li>It\u2019s a lot faster, as you don\u2019t need to wait for paints to dry<\/li><li>It will allow you to work faster and more creatively &#8211; you can use powerful digital tools like layers to unlock entirely new ways of working<\/li><\/ul><p>The only things you need to get started with digital painting are a graphics tablet, and painting software of your choice.<\/p><p>Don\u2019t worry if you\u2019re unsure where to begin &#8211; in this guide I\u2019ll walk you through it all step-by-step.<\/p><p>Let\u2019s

font-size: 17.68px;\">By using layers, you can keep different elements of your painting separate. Whether it&#8217;s an object, a body part, a highlight or a shadow&#8211;painting them on different layers will give you the ability to tweak each element without risking the rest of your work.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 1.04em; letter-spacing: 0.1px;\">The most important thing to remember about layers is this: the order that layers are listed in your Layers panel is the order they will show up on your canvas.
