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.

Watercolor Painting Fun For Kids

Many parents buy their kids a simple watercolor set as young as six years old to make painting as easy learning experience for them. Aside from instilling the value of art appreciation, parents encourage their kids to paint using watercolors for many good reasons. Watercolor painting fun for kids can teach them the value of resourcefulness, creativity, patience, and perseverance.

Getting Started

Next to using crayons, kids are very fond of using watercolors when painting. Aside from being an enjoyable activity that kids can share with their parents, painting using watercolor can also be one of those activities they can share with their playmates and friends.

But, before you get too excited in teaching your kids the beauty of watercolor painting, there are some things you need to consider:

1. Interest. The first thing to consider when encouraging your kids to get into watercolor painting is their interest in the craft. If your child is one of those who are into art and into drawing or collecting pretty images, then she or he is the perfect candidate for the activity. This is because she/he already has the drive and the creativity to create another masterpiece. But if your child is not yet interested in crafts and arts, it doesn’t mean he/she cannot indulge into watercolor painting. You may just need to take a different approach with the thought that this is the perfect time to introduce him/her into a new world of exciting and enjoyable activity. The world of art that he or she may not have noticed before.

2. Space. Aside from the desire of your child to explore art, another thing you need to consider is the availability of space where your kids can do the activity. Since watercolor painting can require a lot of materials, you will need a space big enough for them to sprawl out and to scatter the materials they will use for watercolor painting. It is advisable that you provide a space where kids can do their watercolor painting and a place where they can leave their stuff.

3. Availability and cost of supplies. You also need to take into account the amount of materials and the cost of supplies your child will need. Since you are about to teach him or her basic watercolor painting, you will need a basic set of paints and pigments, brushes, papers, palette and water. These items are not too expensive, but knowing your budget will make shopping for these items easier.

Since you will be the one teaching your child about watercolor painting, it would be best if you are familiar with art at some level. This maybe a great opportunity for you to learn watercolor painting on your own. When your child sees you doing the activity, he or she will be influenced in engaging into the craft.

One way to learn the basics of watercolor painting is to take a crash course online. Aside from the basic techniques in watercolor painting, you can also learn painting tips and application methods. By enrolling to an online watercolor painting class, you can also be introduced to different styles and modern techniques.

The length of the various watercolor painting courses available depends on your knowledge about the craft and how much more would you want to learn. But, basic online courses for watercolor painting usually last from four days up to one week. Then, you will be asked to complete the rest of the exercises at home.

But no matter where you are at personally with watercoloring… Introducing your kids to the art of watercolor painting can be fun for you as well as for them.
