Title: Traditional Art Vs Digital Art


1
Traditional Art versus Digital Art
Traditional art has evolved and changed for
millennia. Not every change has been permanent.
Nor have all been welcome. But all of them have
had an influence, in the art world, which will
last forever. Every new technology invented is
reflected in the arts of its time. For the past
few decades, people have tried to utilize the
advances in computer technology to create
art. With the advent of digital art, the debate
of Traditional art versus Digital art has plagued
the creative minds of this century. So, let's
take a look at the differences and similarities
between the two. Traditional Art Arts created
using media that is considered classical are
Traditional Arts. The development in these art
spans centuries and they have often played a role
in social and cultural revolutions across the
globe. People always have an affinity for
traditional things. That is evident in the fact
that no matter what new changes are welcomed in
the art world, people do not let go of the older
approaches completely. Painting

From the media preferred to the surface used,
everything has changed. Watercolors, oil paints,
and acrylic paints are all used till date by
painters. Even the cave paintings from early
ages are a part of our recorded history. Drawing

charcoal are the most commonly used materials for
sketching. Now, colored pencils, crayons, and
pastels are used to add color to the drawings.
Furthermore, pens can add an effect to the
drawings. Sculpture The sculptures are made by
carving marble or molding clay even metals and
glasses are used to create sculptures which
often entail manual labor and human skills to
carve out a perfect piece. Besides, stone and
wood are also used in this realm. Digital
Art The Digital world does not suffer from the
constraints of the physical world. But still,
some people prefer traditional art and consider
digital art as "not real art". The belief
exists, at least in part, due to a lack of
understanding about the process behind digital
art. There are various styles of digital art and
each has a specific effect. Digital Painting

painting with media like watercolor, oil paints,
etc. Vector Drawing
Misty Valley by Matthew Grissam This art has a
more graphic look at it. Vector drawing supports
the illustration of shapes and lines with a
solid color or gradient. It could further be
drawn using an array of vector drawing software
such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW or Inkspace.

  • Digital Photography
  • Digital photography is the process of using
    electronic equipment to click the photos.
    Artists can also use a traditional camera to
    click the photographs. And thats not enough. In
    fact, a majority of the people in todays
    generation do not hesitate to use their
    Smartphone cameras to capture the photographs.
    Once the picture is clicked, an artist, using
    Photo editing software like Photoshop,
    Illustrator, Lightroom and more, can edit the
    same.
  • Digital Photopainting
  • Digital art software is used to give
    painting-like effect to a photograph or to create
    a painting from scratch. Brushes in softwares
    are used to modify the feel of the image.
  • Fractal Art
  • Fractal art is an algorithmic art, created by
    calculating fractal objects and then showing
    these objects as the subject of an artwork. In
    this style, instead of carving out actual
    drawing or painting work, the focus stays limited
    to the creation of mathematical formulae.
  • Digital Sculpting
  • Also known as 3D sculpting, this specific art
    uses software to mold an object virtually. Like
    clay, the objects are pulled and pressed and
    shaped into anything we wish. A 3D printer is
    used to print such a sculpture. It requires less
    manual skill, but the artist visualizes the
    possible outcomes and set parameters for the
    object to look realistic.
  • If you wish to give digital painting a try, here
    are a few tips
  • Start with drawing first
  • This is the basic format for your artwork. In
    order to get the finer details in the process,
    an artist should aim at starting off the artwork
    with sketches in the first place.
  • Choose perspectives for the final product
  • Perspective helps you focus on the subject of the
    artwork. It also helps the viewer to gain a
    clear point of view while looking at it.
  • Choose the right brush
  • You should experiment with brushes to determine
    which one works best in any particular painting.
    However, try to use only a couple of brushes in a
    painting unless you become a pro in this field.
  • Start with simpler silhouettes
  • Convert the sketch into a painting by starting
    with the basic shapes and backgrounds.

  • Look out for details Adding details to your
    sculpture makes it look realistic, and it gives
    a better visual appeal to the folks.
  • As competitive as the art world is, it has a
    place for both genres. Thanks to this world of
    internet where artists with different styles can
    now exchange ideas and even support one another.
    However, the artwork isnt a piece of cake, in
    fact, artists spend years modifying and
    perfecting their technique and even learning
    advanced level techniques.
  • Traditional art requires more physical space than
    its digital counterpart. Digital art allows a
    greater scope for correcting errors but, it still
    requires deep consideration.
  • Understanding the composition and the use of
    pressure in art is required in both styles of
    the art. Even in digital art, no one becomes an
    expert without hard work and practice. All
    artists have their own vision that they need to
    translate onto the canvas, be it a physical one
    or a virtual one and that requires dedication.
  • The development of digital media has also been a
    boon for traditional artists. Digital prints of
    Painting are sold by the artists along with their
    original artwork. Artists can promote their work
    online and get more people to appreciate it.
    Whats more? no one is limited by their location
    anymore.
  • Many online art galleries help artists sell their
    artwork online, be it digital art or traditional
    art. These websites also provide a community of
    like-minded people who can share their works and
    ideas with each other. You can read more about
    digital art and it's different types here.
