Digital Drawing

.

Cartoon drawing is an old concept and has become a rather integral aspect of our life. However, you need to know that this artwork is not only used to provide comic relief among is audiences. It is also used to display some meaningful information in a comical funny way.

It is not an easy task to become a cartoonist. Not every painter possesses the ability to draw cartoons from real life characters. If proper knowledge is not there, then it becomes really a tough task to carry on with this part of the art activity. Often, people refer to rough sketches as cartoons, but in reality it is not so. Some cartoons may seem rough – but are usually examples of very sophisticated art technique.

During earlier eras, these art works (cartoons) were created through the use of the artist’s hands, but things have changed drastically nowadays – now there is digital drawing. Which is good news for those cartoonists who have a challenge with drawing by hand.

With the invention of the computer and a wide range of software tools, the task has been transferred from pencil to keyboard and mouse movements. Digital drawing as well as painting (coloring) has arrived to displace the age old analog techniques.

With the introduction of the digital medium, the task has become relatively easier to undergo. Newer software tools, as well the upgraded systems, have made the task of the cartoonist easier and much faster.

More options to make the art work a lot more attractive are also now available – specialty shading and whiting out – special colorization methods, etc. And revision work, with a variety of saved versions, can be done with little difficulty – once you learn the software program of your choice.

Of course, printing your artwork is easier, or sending it to an editor or publishing it online can be accomplished through your computer or other digital device.

Does this mean that you should give up your sketchpad? No! But taking your “jotted down” ideas and sketches and turning them into published work can be enhanced by digital means. And for those cartoonists who lack the finer degrees of drawing skills, digital software tools can help you overcome those barriers and create very accomplished artwork.
