Digital art isn’t something new, however, it wasn’t always accessible to everybody. To make digital art back then you’d have to learn very complicated software, own really expensive graphic tablets and usually, you’d have to either study graphic design or work as a designer to even get to know the media.

Gatekeeping was the order of the day and knowledge wasn’t shared as much as it is right now.

With the years, it became more artist-oriented, graphic tablets weren’t that expensive anymore and tutorials started to appear on the internet on how to learn software such as Photoshop or Illustrator. But to be honest, it was really hard to learn it on your own.

Nowadays, it seems that digital art is everywhere on the internet, there is not a single person who hasn’t seen a digital art piece or even used digital assets in their daily life. And there’s an abundance of accessible courses and free tutorials or articles on everything you need to start with digital art.

Software such as procreate and Autodesk sketchbook don’t even need tutorials since their interfaces are so user-friendly, beside that, the opportunities for digital artists have also multiplied online since remote work became a possibility, and even with social media, artists now can have recognition and support of their purely digital works.

We’ve reached the point where everybody can make digital art even from their phones.

But still, there are many questions on how to start and what to do first, and that’s why this guide is for. Keep reading and by the end, you will for sure know how to start making digital art!
