What is this blog all about?

Digital art can be very overwhelming at first because of the amount of educational content available on the internet, and most of it is very confusing because you don't know where to begin your journey as a digital artist. In this blog, I will share some simple tips to help you get started as a digital artist, as well as some tools, programs, and recommended YouTube channels to get you started.

Drawing tools you'll need

First and foremost, you will require a graphics tablet or a drawing tablet, preferably something other than a mouse, as you will be using it the majority of the time. As a digital artist, my go-to drawing medium is a graphics tablet, but it can cost thousands of pesos. And if you're having trouble deciding which drawing medium is best for you, I recommend watching this YouTube video.

Must have drawing software

Next, you'll need a drawing software. My recommendation is Adobe Photoshop because it's an industry standard tool used by most professionals, but if you want to save money, you could also try free software like Krita or even Clip Studio Paint.

After you choose your software, you could basically start your digital journey, and the last thing you'll need is good tutorial on how to use your chosen drawing tool and drawing software.
