The use of digital technology in digital art has opened up new creative possibilities. Both creative and technical skills are utilised in digital art projects. I belong to the digital art group of an art club. My equipment is electrical, so I sit at a desk close to a power point.
Tablets
Tablets can be expensive. I have 2 Wacom peripherals. The first one I used was a graphics tablet (Intuos M). This separates the drawing action from the display.
Thanks to a grant, I now use a Cintiq 16 pen display. It requires smooth power! The pen draws directly on the screen.
Animation
The process manipulates still images to imitate motion. The methods and terminology are traditional. Software accelerates the work.
Illustration
A pointer is applied to the screen. Which determines the position of the stylus.
