Digital painting for beginners
Start painting on a tablet or phone with free apps and simple brushes.
Learn new art techniques
Digital painting uses the same fundamentals as paint — value, color, edges — but adds layers and undo. Start with one round brush and one soft brush.
Paint at 3000 px or more on the long edge so your work can later be printed large without blur.
