ABOUT ME
Hi, I am Jayasankar MP
I am an Artist from Kerala, India.
I create Traditional and Digital Paintings,
Animation,3D modeling, Photography.
What is Digital Art, Digital Painting and Smudge Painting?
Common people are always confused with these words. Digital Art is any art form created using a computer or digital tool.
Both Smudge painting and Digital paintings are Digital Arts.
But Smudge painting and Digital paintings are different.
Smudge painting process is importing an already existing image/ photograph file and painting over it or using the smudge tool to make it look like a painting. For me there is no fun or challenge doing it. It is a wonderful Digital Art technique.
Digital painting is just like drawing on a piece white paper. The only difference is you are using a digital drawing device commonly a drawing tablet or a mouse. It has a pen and a touch sensing surface. The Artist starts with a White Canvas in Photoshop/Krita or any other drawing softwares and you start drawing directly on the computer. There are more advanced Drawing Monitors, it’s like a large mobile screen you can directly paint on the screen.
How I make my paintings and which tools i use.
I draw both in traditional and digital mediums. For traditional mediums I have reached Realistic level with pencil but with Acrylic and pastels I am only a beginner .
For Digital medium I used to have an Intex tablet 7 years ago But now I use a Wacom Tablet and paint directly on the computer. I use Photoshop or Krita as my primary Drawing software, in the early days I used PaintTool SAI.
I use the Steadtler 24 set and Steadtler black edition which is rich in carbon and very good for pure black areas. For the eraser I have kneedable and mono zero.
With Acrylic i am only a beginner and i use camlin student grade acrylic 12 set.
I have 7 years of experience with drawing tablets.
In digital painting even if you have no reference image you can still turn a white surface into any image from your imagination.
Most of my concept arts are drawn from my imaginations and based on my night dreams.
I remember drawing in windows paint in my school days. When I got my first mobile phone at age 15, There was a feature in the editing section where you could add pixel by pixel onto the image. Those were the first days of my digital painting skill
.
I was so thrilled and obsessed with learning digital art. I remember getting a Photoshop guide from a nearby library and going through each page and screenshots and imagining painting in it.
