Projects designed to be your first steps into the world of digital art

This introduction to digital art is designed for new and learning artists a stepping stone to more advance techniques. Each assignment has been crafted to give you a quick win where you can look at what you have created and understand how simple techniques can build on top of each other to make great paintings.
