Art I have been working on learning digital art myself, and while everyone is sitting at home during the Covid-19 Virus outbreak you yourself your even your children can download a digital art site and start learning how to draw digital. Like I said I am teaching myself and have yet to read a book or study any online learning spots, I am just learning through trial and error. The download I use is called Krita and it is 100%free now I am sure you can buy more brushes and options if you would like but like I said I am learning. It is hard to figure out at first, learning layers and brush pen settings, your lines are not as easy and you have to figure out how to re-learn to draw. But using digital has so many awesome benefit’s, such as you can constantly add to or remove to the digital art as like there was nothing there, allowing you constant growth in your artwork, unlike paper or canvas art that once it is done you can not 100% re do again. I just did a Jar drawing on Krita and I would like to show you a few steps that I took and how I saved multiple steps so that way I can go back and just change the inside of the jar and keep the outside jar the same. So if you follow a little with the photos I will show you how i went from a simple jar to a jar with depth. As you can see, I slowly moved through this bottle one even looking as if it was a bottle with water on the inside. And honestly that was a random mistake, but it looks so cool. I decided to keep it! You can also see the lines on the original Jar are still very rough and not the best. As I worked on it, I continued to smooth the lines as I went, but the concept is still there for other drawings that I would like to do further down the road. As you can see from the screen shots of my computer you can see the layers in the right hand side of the photos, each layer lays the depth of the art as if the liquid is actually in the jar and not placed outside of the jar. This is new to me and making myself learn this concept is interesting, but the best part is I can change the layer as needed. Using this method can allow me to work on one thing and not disrupt the actual image, that is how I managed to change the color of the one to look like water. I was just messing with changing the background color to of everything to a teal color and after I decided not to do so I changed it back to white and left the layer up while working on other layers. Then when I went to look through the layers, I found that the light teal was left behind. So, all by mistake I made it look as if it has water inside the jar. So, take your time to learn layers and how to build the look, I am constantly learning more about how to change things and also importing photos and changing them on the site themselves. I took a drawing I did and messed with it so see how it would turn out. I don’t know if ill do so often, but I like the fact that I can do so if I really wanted to!
