By combining traditional sensibilities with modern tools, the tutorial caters to various experience levels, encouraging engagement with both digital and traditional art methods.
Unlike many digital painters, I treat the canvas – whether real or virtual – as a physical object, aiming to show the history of a piece through visible layers.
In this tutorial, we'll focus on foundational principles relevant in digital painting as they are in oils or charcoal, such as accurate shape blocking and value grouping.
I aim to bring a sense of energy and story into my digital work, similar to traditional paintings, by allowing early marks and rough edges.
Grab your iPad, tablet, or laptop and follow along as we blend traditional art sensibilities with modern tools, enhancing your digital painting skills.
