Drawing is a fun experience with traditional methods such as pencils, crayons, acrylics etc. It can also be very therapeutic to anyone embarking on this much loved pastime. The hobby is not just for kids, it can be enjoyed by many people from all walks of life. The ability to carry yourself away from the real world for a few minutes is always a good thing.
Why digital drawing?
Many people that are not familiar with digital drawing have a notion that digital drawing requires fancy tools and techniques. Also, it requires you to be very competent in the use of software which can be complicated.
If you are a traditional artist, you may want to consider digital drawing to expand your portfolio. There are already many young people who are drawn to the drawing apps available from the Google and Apple play stores. You don’t really need to have a big knowledge in the use of software to learn digital drawing. If you are familiar with the tools of your phone, you can also get into digital drawing. You will find the previous article written on this subject below.
Anyone can draw in the digital medium!
If you are all too familiar with drawing with pencil and paper, you can also easily draw on your phone. However, you also have the ability of some powerful tools to make your drawing creative as you want it. Even for many traditional artist who has never ventured into digital drawing, you will be surprised with how quickly you can get up to speed. One such drawing that allows you to do this is the Paintology drawing app, links provided at the end.
This particular drawing app has many capabilities of drawing such as Paint by Numbers, Trace Drawing, Overly Drawing and more. This can rapidly develop your painting and drawing skills. Many folks think that the digital medium is a bit artificial but you are still applying your creative drawing and painting skills. After all, if you look at one of my drawings that I did with the Paintology app, you will definitely think twice! The video of a drawing that I did of the sunset was done with only two brushes on the Paintology app.
Now you try yourself!
Naturally the above video drawing requires some artistic skills but it definitely does not require the complex tools that many novices like to think. Like any skill, you will develop them over time and be able to draw like this. I surely could not tell you that I could draw like this if you had asked me a year ago.
A great start is to try drawing and painting with the Paint by Numbers technique of the Paintology app. This kind of drawing allows you to open up a template on your phone and tablet and then use the brushes to paint over the numbered region. The numbered region allows you to develop essential skills such as getting familiarity with the brushes, improving your strokes and an appreciation of colors. It will help you appreciate the medium a lot better and apply your own skills in drawing and painting any subjects.
Here is the master template of a celebrity drawing that you can do on your phone or tablet. The drawing of this celebrity portrait has larger numbered region which is ideal for beginners. The zoom feature of the app allows you to get close to the subject when you want to paint smaller regions.
