Learning Digital Art for Skill Development

I have some interest in digital art. I used to do good sketching and made some good drawings in the past. I do however think that I have to take this interest further. And I have to get into the professional hobby of manga drawing. The reason being internet has plenty of demand for such art. And if there is a niche to discuss with it then handling art with that niche can be fun. I wish to get into the digital art for the same reason. I am not sure how to proceed for the same though. Considering many times one needs to learn the tool effectively. For example, some people are using Corel painter. Some are using the photoshop and other similar tools.

Software?

Though Photoshop type programs can be costly, they can prove to be a good option for those who don’t have the money. For example photoshop is costly for many people. And instead of that you can use the GIMP. As that software works and looks exaclty like photoshop. You can save a lot of money on subscription. You can even make high quality art with it. If you are into Adobe Illustrator then using Krita can be one good option. Krita is free and it can draw some really good images. You may have to work harder to see how effectively one can use the Krita for good quality images too.

Stylus and Tablet?

Another part to learn about digital painting is how to use stylus and tablet. The reason it is not easy is because paper and stylus based drawing works differently. And you have to work hard in order to get the art to the proper work. I have tried my best on some of the parts to get the art flowing. However, it’s not going to be easy to do digital art without much practice. I guess those who are into digital art and doing art on daily basis must be a pro.

So it all comes down to cost for equipment and also the amount of time being spent. I’d say this art is worth learning.
