“Digital art isn’t real art. You have no real talent and you’re lazy. It’s not like painting or using traditional media. You didn’t work a sweat. The program makes it for you!”

Hahaha….haha. *Although, I’m sure some people don’t actually reach 150 layers. That’s just me aahaha. /insecure /back ups of back ups of back ups

I saw this comic going around and thought that there should be an art version of it.

But of course. I can reach to 255.

I used to do 50-70

I usually stick around 20 and even then, I merge shit together.

I kinda use a mesh of Traditional fundamentals and Digital Software.

People need to realise, it’s not the fact it’s digital or traditional, but that you need to learn how to use your medium effectively.

Some people who are awesome at Trad might not be comfortable with Digital and vice-versa. It’s the fundamentals and knowledge of how to make a final piece that matters, not entirely the trip there. Knowing structure, colour, lighting, rendering methods are KEY, but stuff such as textures and editing need learning and refining or they’ll stick out like sore thumbs.

When you people pick up your tablet pen and go “Should I really be using multiply layers and layers?” Remember, than there are masterful pieces of art being made WITH THOSE TOOLS on a quick effective span and they’re used to the full capabilities they were made to provide.

Learn your form, anatomy and persp fundamentals, learn your lighting and colour, learn your everything…. AND APPLY THEM TO THE DIGITAL WORLD.

Whether its scattered around layers and folders, or you want to go Psuedo-old-school and handpaint it on a digital canvas, remember the final picture was made with a collaborative effort of all your tools and practice. Don’t hold back, use that lasso tool. ITS THERE FOR A REASON.

I really hope I am not the only one asking how people can get above 10 layers, I at most go to 5 maybe 7 (this is including a reference and colour palate.) but I tend stick at around 2-3 layers. (not including ref and palate.) Sorry if this is pointless to be asking but how do you manage to get that high what is like each line on it’s own separate layer or something?

Shading, lighting, different brush bristle effects, filtering the colors, idependant reflexes, blurred spots, and the list goes on, Ling.

Yes, artism be one helluva jealous lover :|
