Learn Drawing and Digital Painting from Beginner to Advanced

List Made by Pixaroma

Hi, my name is Ioan Decean, I am from Romania and I want to share with you what I learned so far about drawing and digital painting. I still learn new stuff every day . You can find me on http://pixaroma.com/ I also made a group for people who use Photoshop: https://www.facebook.com/groups/photoshoplove/ If you have questions you can send me a private message on facebook https://www.facebook.com/pixaroma/

Anyone can draw and paint, it takes time and lots of practice and must be

learned in a certain order. You have to start with the basics in drawing and

then you can move to digital painting. I made this list to help you advance

more quickly.

Drawing Basics

Before you start drawing read this articles: 10 Drawing Myths That Block Your Progress http://design.tutsplus.com/articles/10-drawing-myths-that-block-your-progress--cms-23892 10 Quick Tips on Drawing http://thevirtualinstructor.com/QuicktipsDrawing.html

To be able to draw your hand need some training. Drawing its like learning to write, you

began with shapes, circles, lines, then you did letters, then you combined all to do words,

then you can write without thinking about lines and circles. Drawing its the same, you start

learning to do basic shapes like circles, triangles, lines, squares, then you learn to do it 3D

with the help of perspective, so you do spheres, cubes, cylinders, pyramids and those

shapes are combined to make the rest of the things that surround us.

For digital painting you can start directly in your program. I use Photoshop but you have

other options like Corel Painter, Sai, Gimp, Manga Studio, etc. If you want to draw and paint

on your computer you need a graphic tablet. I use Wacom Intuos 5 M (medium). There are

other option more cheaper and other more expensive like Cintiq from Wacom.

You can also do sketches on paper then scan the drawing or make a photo of it and upload

it on computer then you paint on top of it or use it as guide for digital painting.

What you need for drawing and sketching: a normal pencil HB or 2HB, any paper (i use

printer paper), an eraser hard and soft (kneaded eraser).

Start with this:
