Art Digital Sculpture (also known as 3D Sculpting) is the process of manipulating a digital object as if it were made of a real-life substance, such as clay. It is a sub-discipline of 3D modeling that rejects the “engineering” approach (manipulating individual points and lines) in favor of an organic approach. The artist uses a […]
3D Art (specifically 3D Computer Graphics) is the process of creating moving or static images by manipulating geometric data within a simulated three-dimensional space. Unlike 2D digital art, which is painting on a flat surface, 3D art is Virtual Sculpture combined with Virtual Photography. The artist builds an object that has height, width, and depth […]
Pixel Art is a form of digital art where images are created and edited at the pixel level. The defining aesthetic of pixel art is that the individual square blocks of color (pixels) are visible and form the building blocks of the image, much like the tiles in a mosaic or the stitches in cross-stitch. […]
Vector Art is a technique of digital illustration that uses geometrical primitives (points, lines, curves, and shapes) based on mathematical expressions to represent images in computer graphics. While Raster art (JPEGs | PNGs) is a map of colored dots (pixels), Vector art is a set of instructions. A vector file tells the computer: “Draw a […]
Art Raster Digital Painting (often simply called “Digital Painting”) is an art form in which the artist uses digital tools to apply color to a virtual canvas, simulating the look and behavior of traditional media like oil, acrylic, or watercolor. It is distinct from “Vector Art” because it relies on a grid of pixels rather […]
Art 2D Digital Illustration is the creation of narrative or decorative imagery using digital tools to simulate or expand upon traditional drawing and painting techniques within a two-dimensional plane. Unlike 3D modeling, which builds a virtual object that can be rotated, 2D illustration deals with flat imagery (height and width). It is the bridge between […]
