In digital art you wont need many supplies such as pencils, papers, inks, paint, or anything of that sort because it has all been made digital. Instead you will need a different set of supplies and although there are less supplies but they can be very very expensive.
To begin in digital drawing you will need …
- A computer either a PC Or a Mac OSX
- You will need a drawing tablet. (these come in many varieties) such as a cintiq or a intuos tablet
- Drawing software such as Corel Draw, or Photoshop
According to Pauline Van De Ven, “A digital painting is created on the computer using a graphics program, a virtual painting box with brushes, colors and other supplies. The box contains instruments that do not exist outside the computer, and which give a digital artwork a different look and feel from an artwork that is made the traditional way. Once finished, the painting is digitally transmitted to a traditional physical carrier, such as canvas, paper, polyester etc.”
