Digital art is becoming more and more popular with artists. It was made famous by its characteristics. Thanks to this article you will learn some tricks about it while having fun!
Steps
Step 1. Draw your idea on a paper
If you don't have a scanner this is the best way to start. Try to get a precise anatomy and physiology of the subject, don't worry you can fix it later. Don't add too many details like fur or clothes. Use the pencil to be able to correct mistakes.
Step 2. If you don't have a scanner, you can use a drawing program to sketch or take a photo of the drawing on paper
However, remember that photos can be blurry and that it may be difficult to draw with the mouse.
Step 3. Scan the drawing
Save it in-p.webp
Step 4. Open the file with any program
GIMP is great for beginners and it's free. It is not a good idea to use Microsoft Paint due to its poor features.
Step 5. Create a new transparent layer and outline your design
You can also use multiple layers to create more detail and flexibility without ruining the design. The outline will make things easier later when it comes to coloring. During this step you can also fix the anatomical imperfections of the sketch made before.
Step 6. If you have more than one complex subject or background, create another layer
You can use a white layer for the background and a transparent one for the subjects.
Step 7. Paint inside the outlines
You can do different things based on your skills, style and schedule. You can color it like a children's coloring book or you can add other details. Remember that layers are useful for creating details for a certain point in the image and not for the entire design.
Step 8. When done, merge the layers
