Digital Painting

How to post stuff.

2021-06-25T20:24:55+00:00

The burning question.

For tumblr and deviantart, you simply upload your image there and link it like you would any article. Make sure you are in the Link tab, not the Image tab.

FOR IMGUR, this is the big one, first of all, you don't need an account on imgur to use imgur.

Let's go! Upload image to imgur, right-click on the image, copy the direct link to the image. It should end in .jpg, .gif or similar. You know, a file format. (If you don't, you'll get removed for linking to a gallery containing only one image, which messes with Reddit Enhancement Suit. That's not our fault and you can't get angry at the mods for that one.)

Now, head over to the submission page on r/digitalpainting. New reddit (yuck): make sure you are select the Link tab. Old reddit: make sure you select Link. You are submitting a link to an image, not an image. Paste the copied url in the URL box, and write a title that isn't self-promotional. see rule 7 and 8. Hit the submit/contribute button. Bam, submission submitted successfully. But oh, there's more!

Find your submission in r/digitalpainting/new or in your post history and go make a comment about what you struggled with. You have an hour. This step is important because we are not here to just look at pretty pictures, we're here to learn. Writing down the things you found difficult is a great - and i mean a fantastic - way for you to reflect on the process. It also helps us to help you.

Two things to consider: if your comment is very long, it might put people off. I've seen it happen. Get to the point, please! If your comment is too vague, I'll ask you to expand on it. (For example, "i struggle with backgrounds" is too vague. If you don't expand on your comment after being asked, I'll remove your submission.)

And once all of that is done, you might want to take a look at what other artists have submitted and give them some constructive criticism. Most of you hide in your own threads, never daring to venture outside.

AI generated images are now banned.

2022-11-11T01:13:59+00:00

r/digitalpainting is for people who want to get better at painting, not writing prompts. If I find you posting AI generated images, you will receive a permanent ban. I don't think I can make myself clearer than that.

Edited to add that there is now an AI report option - but don't use it willy nilly. At the very least, check the user's history first.

Help with painting brush?

2023-01-28T03:12:04+00:00

Hi i don't know if i can ask in here but i am wondering what's the correct settings for photoshop brush for digital painting? i use a normal hard round brush with transfer with pen pressure on but since it gives low opacity the colors that it produced are muddy and faded. Is there any way to still have a brush that mix and is soft but still give out vibrant colors? What are your usual photoshop painting brush settings?

Getting started in digital art - what stuff is best, any recommendations?

2023-01-27T16:40:34+00:00

So I usually stick to painting and pastel drawing since I don't have any devices other than my phone/chromebook to do digital drawings on - but I also do music posters and design stuff, and want to make and sell prints of my art sometime soon!

I figured a drawing tablet of some kind could really help me out with making things cleaner and easier to change, and portable to send across emails etc as opposed to my current physical art. And it would let me experiment more as a whole

The question is really, what tablets (and I suppose programs) would you recommend? :)

New to Digital Art and need advice regarding DeviantArt

2023-01-27T07:53:25+00:00

I came across DeviantArt and right now it is giving 50% off on its membership. Is it worth purchasing? If not, then what other platforms will you suggest growing as a digital artist? If anyone is already using DeviantArt or have used it, then please tell about your experiences.

Thank you in advance :)
