Ella Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 For the longest time, I only draw by hand on paper. I loved using pencil and ink depending on the art style. I only recently started getting into digital art and got my first digital drawing tablet. It has a screen and everything! I am just looking for some tips on how to get used to using it. What programs are good (free ones). Maybe some tricks/tips. Anyone here into digital art? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 My daughter loves digital art. She primarily utilizes Adobes suite of tools for her work. I know those are not free but art is not something I am strong at and can only report on what I have seen. She says she loves uses Adobe Illustrator to draw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 If you want free software to try, I would recommend GIMP and Krita. Both are great for drawing depending on your needs. You can use both even if you wanted to for different tools. Krita has more brushes and allows you to download other ones people have made in the community for free so there is that as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love GIMP! I am not a digital artist or anything but that program is like Photoshop stripped down and for people who aren't very skilled with this type of software. best of all, it is free! I have been using it for like 7 years now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is limited in many ways but offers so much for opensource software. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ella Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Thanks guys! I will check out gimp. I remember hearing about it but I never actually used it. I don't want to spend money on anything until I know it is a hobby I can really invest in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
