Digital Art Decision Methods

Digital art can take many forms and when you look at the marvellous digital art on Fine Art America you begin to realise how all the digital art produced is so different. This relatively new art medium is incredible in many different ways.

I have my technique and this revolves around decisions. Rejecting or accepting the gradually developing art that is happening in front of my eyes? I personally don't use stock photographs; it's just I don't find the need. Composition, colour and emotion are how I produce art. First I try one tool then other and reject, and alter then reject and alter again for as long as it takes. The colour balance is adjusted, and then adjusted again and again, until gradually the work takes shape, if I give meaning to the work and if I'm happy with the composition I finally place my signature on it. If I think that the result is not achieving a great deal then I go back in a ruthless way and start again from a point I was happy with. Compare this to other mediums and you can see immediately the difference, as with most you have to decide on the composition before hand or simply begin again.

To summarise you have to make decisions before you paint with most media while in digital art it's a continual process at least with my technique.

Why not give digital art a try.
