Digital art is any creative work made using digital tools like drawing tablets, 3D software, or even AI. It includes illustration, animation, digital painting, NFTs, generative art, and more. If it's made on a screen, it's probably digital art!

Start with a drawing tablet or an iPad and apps like Procreate, Photoshop, or Krita. It all starts with picking up a tool you enjoy and start experimenting! We’ve got beginner-friendly tips and artist stories on the blog to help you get going.

Popular digital art programs include Procreate, Adobe Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, Blender (for 3D), and Unreal Engine. Each has its strengths depending on whether you're drawing, animating, or designing.

Procreate is hands-down the most loved iPad app for digital illustration. It’s affordable, intuitive, and used by hobbyists as well as pros.

You can go freelance, sell digital prints, work with brands, or license your work. Many artists also teach online or create NFTs. Check out our guides on becoming a full-time artist for real-world advice from those who’ve done it.

Pricing depends on your experience, time spent, and usage rights. We break down how to price commissions, art prints, and client work in our blog posts — plus tips on negotiating with confidence.

You can sell digital art on platforms like Etsy, DAB Print Shop, your own shop on your website. For NFTs, check out OpenSea, Objkt, SuperRare, and Foundation as they’re the most popular platforms.

NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are digital certificates of ownership stored on the blockchain. They allow digital artists to sell unique editions of their work and earn royalties. We cover how to mint your first NFT and avoid common mistakes.

Three words: consistency, engagement, and storytelling. Post reels and stories that show your personality. Tell people why your art is worth the follow. Share behind-the-scenes content. People love art but they support people. We’ve got growth strategies specifically for digital artists.

iPads with Apple Pencil are popular, but Wacom and Huion tablets are great too — especially for desktop users. We compare the best drawing tablets based on your budget and goals.

Absolutely. Artists make money through freelance work, merch, licensing, Patreon, online courses, and selling prints or NFTs. We dive into each income stream with real artist interviews.

Raster art is pixel-based (like digital painting in Photoshop), while vector art uses paths and curves (like Illustrator). Knowing the difference helps you choose the right tool for your style.

We love Behance, Instagram, and of course, the features and interviews here on Digital Arts Blog. You’ll also find curated collections of generative art, AI art, motion graphics, and more.

Choose your best work (quality > quantity), organize it by project or theme, and host it on your own website as well as social media. We also offer artist portfolio checklists.

Some trending digital art styles include pixel art, generative art, surreal collages, and AI photography. We explore  top creators, current trends, and how to make them your own.

Yes and no. It depends on how it’s made and why. A trending term relevant to this discussion is “soul-born” – if an artwork is born from the soul and not the machine, a visual created using AI can be artful and meaningful. We explore the value of AI-generated art, how artists use AI as a tool, and what it means for the future of creativity.

YouTube, Skillshare (free trials), Adobe tutorials, and open-source communities offer tons of beginner resources. We’ve rounded up the best free and paid courses for every skill level.
