Create illustrations, concept art, or digital paintings using a tablet and software like Procreate or Krita — digital art removes the limits of physical media, offering infinite undo, colour freedom, and professional results.

The Essentials

  • Learn keyboard shortcuts for your software early, since constantly hunting through menus slows down your workflow dramatically
  • Work on separate layers for line art, color, and shading, since flattening too early makes edits far harder to correct
  • Use reference images even for imagined scenes, since realistic light and anatomy are hard to invent from memory alone
  • Zoom out regularly to check the whole composition, since working zoomed in makes it easy to lose track of overall balance
  • Save incremental versions of your file as you work, since digital software can crash and unsaved progress is lost instantly
