There are tons of digital art apps out there, but I mostly work with 3: Procreate, ArtRage, and Sketchbook. If you’re wanting to get started in digital art, any one of these three will do. However, each app has its own unique strengths and weaknesses. 

I’ll give you a feel for those in this video. To learn more about each app, you can check them out at the following URLS: (Note: these are not affiliate links and I receive no compensation for recommending these apps.)

What do you need to create digital art? As with any other kind of art, you need three things:
1. Something to draw with
2. Something to draw on
3. A medium
So how does that apply to digital art? In this week’s video, Jim reviews the equipment you’ll need to get started creating beautiful works of art digitally. 

Jim has also created a resource sheet that you can download here:

Digital Art: Why Go Digital?

Tired of buying a bunch of art supplies for your homeschool art class? Why not try digital art? The up-front investment is a little larger (but not as much as you might guess), but once you have a tablet, stylus, and software, you’re good to go. In this video, See the Light Artist Jim Pence introduces our new series, Adventures in Digital Art.

Over the next 9 weeks, we’ll give you an introduction to digital art, tools, apps, and fun things you can do as you explore this new medium.

Let’s ask the basic question first. Why go digital?
