Activate the 2d Digital Art
Master in You!

Once in a while, you will come across a realistic 2d digital art painting that you really liked. These types of paintings are generally referred to as computer graphics, or CG for short, as it is painted mostly on the computer.

All of a sudden, that imaginative and artistic side of your head suddenly gets turned on! You say to yourself, "That looks very cool! It would be nice if I could do something like that as well."

If you can scribble, make 2d shapes such as triangles and squares, and can hold a pencil, then you are half way there to being a master! What's the other half? Patience, practice, having the right tools, and most important of all, control!

That’s why I’m here. Through my own success and mistakes, I will teach you not only how to activate the 'talent' within you, but to show you the proper ways of activating it. What is the proper way? My Friend, it’s simple. I will help you to learn how to draw realistically on the computer!

Share your knowledge!

Don't just keep knowledge to yourself! Whether you're a beginner or a veteran, let people know what you know about 2d digital art by paying it forward.

In every section of this site, you can leave your thoughts on stuff that I have touched, important tips that I may have missed, or provide your own unique insight.

Not only that, if you have a brilliant example of a drawing or painting you want to add, use the forms and uploading options to create your own mini gallery on this site and inspire others!

Just follow these simple guidelines to make sure your drawing or painting examples gets accepted:

  • Your illustrations or tips must contain a valid description. "Just fooling around" doesn't cut it, I'm afraid.
  • The drawing must be your own creation.
  • Don't forget to upload your painting or drawing!
  • No offensive materials or subject matter. Let's keep it clean!
  • If sending more than one painting, describe each one in depth.

If you are having troubles with describing it, try explaining how the drawing or painting makes you feel.

It's easy to learn and share what you have learned with others!
