Art Prints

What do you think when you hear the term “digital art”? Do you think that the pictures of numbers, random geometric shapes, wild colors that you feel as if you go to the lamp before the flash of a camera was off to do? I can not say I blame for that is that, perceive what a lot of digital art and in a lot of it. With the computer program, artists are able to geometric colorful designs that blow the meaning and in many respects to the old paintings and abstract sculptures, which have been around a long time to reach match now. This kind of art that thinks the viewer, it allows them to imagine what they, if they want to see it because it is rare that two people the same thing or the idea of ​​an abstract work to see art and the same happens when the audience on digital art, which is looking for this type.

I would like to introduce a new kind of digital art, I call it “digital painting”, and is the style of art I work with most. I call digital painting is a computer program with a graphics tablet and pen to use. Yes it’s true if you use a program, you can use a variety of filters that are available, both free and commercial filters are, but I prefer above all paint with a graphics tablet and pen with the program of his choice in my case, I use the program Paint Shop Pro. There are many programs out there to use both free and pay as the GIMP programs, including PhotoShop, Paint Shop Pro, but I found works well and does not break the bank account of a person. Occasionally I use a filter comes with it or that I collected over the years, but I usually do when I design graphic design for my website, a client or a design for my clothing and gifts. I use the kind of brush with paint and included as a normal artist uses tools from burrs and other gums, I use the smudge tool and similar tools, while I give my life matter to paint, make it like a normal oil, acrylic or watercolor . look It’s amazing when you were a paint palette and brushes, how, when you work with a tablet and stylus, you can create realistic brush strokes as you wish, you can find the same kind of movement with the hand and wrist, as if you if you were regular tools. One of the best things I have found the picture is, numerically, on how to create different levels, so you do not throw paint at all, if you are wrong. Now do not get me wrong, I actually had several experiences where I throw the whole picture and start from scratch, but in general you can to correct the mistakes you’ve made a lot easier if you use a canvas and paint. And it’s amazing how many people do not know, my digital work, if I did not say it was her.

When I started to paint digitally, I have the same techniques I described above, but I had to use my mouse to do it and let me tell you, that is to paint after several months of using the PC mouse certainly a number on the wrist, the more I find that there are certain movements that you can not use a computer mouse that you do you do with a graphics tablet and pen on the computer. I’ve always had a hard time with any kind of spherical shapes when using the computer mouse, without the help of vector-drawing program that is integrated into the program and, since PSP is my favorite picture digitally as I would if I on a canvas and brush I’ve always felt he betrayed the vector drawing tool for creating circles and other shapes using spherical were used.

When I connected the tablet and started using it, it took me about 2 or 3 days until I feel comfortable with her, because if you use it, you have to orient yourself in the show and how the graphics tablet it corresponds to the computer screen. However, when I get the hang of, I was absolutely in love with this instrument! It allows you to move freely with your creations, and I found that I still have my fingers on the tray to the naked cleaning and blending, feels next to the pen that comes with it, because honestly, you look like with a real palette and canvas work of painting with a tablet. For example, if you use a tablet to digitally paint you can paint the fur is more realistic than a computer mouse when I’m painting with the fur of an animal, I ask every piece of fur strand by strand, one after the other, white I like when I paint “feathers and scales like dragon birds, I paint to give the darkest first coat and light layers over each other’s, depth of the animals, what do I if I have the shadow on the body of the animal bones and areas you see, like the ankles, etc. can do paint. In addition, shading, you can achieve with a graphics tablet is the eye of an animal to give it real depth and authenticity much livelier and more realistic to me than using a computer mouse .

Some critics, that is not true digital painting “art” but I agree with them. The definition of “art” as defined by dictionary.com website, “the quality, production, expression or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, attractive, or more ordinary meaning.” Now I’ll give you my definition of “art” as I see it, be an artist himself, the art is to take what I experienced during life, with examples from nature and put it into something that can be accessed by anyone divided. If I felt I had to collect when I had a bald eagle flying saw or if I frustrated by trying to destroy our environment for greed when can I get this feeling and use it to make a painting that is “to create art. ” When I use the grief and anger I do if I feel the loss of a loved one and use this energy to a painting that is “art.” The environment I sometimes choose to express these feelings create these ideas is irrelevant. Now, when the photo appeared in the late 1880s, art critics, believers as not an art, not even, but like we have seen, it is now considered an important art form, not only with the as with photos from magazines, and museums for photography Art. That’s what I see with digital art and digital images is done, this art form a continuation of the ongoing development, the “art” and I truly believe in the future, digital art is so respected as the most traditional forms of art because they believe me, that is not less difficult to master, no less capricious creative process, the only difference is, we need different tools that are used for many when they think of “art”.
