Learning digital art may seem overwhelming because “tons” of tools and software exist. There are so many questions:

- How do you paint and draw digitally?
And this is what I want to help you with within this class. By creating a fun and colorful underwater scene, I will show you, step by step, digital art techniques, tips, and tricks that will help you draw and paint digitally better and faster.
You will learn:
- What Drawing Tablets and Digital Drawing Software to choose from;

I will use Procreate 5X but feel free to use any other digital drawing software you prefer.

Let’s start expanding our horizons and having fun with digital art!
