Summary

In this chapter, we have covered the fundamentals of all digital art programs, so if you are new to the digital art space, you have an idea of how one little dot, one little pixel, can change the entire digital landscape. Also, you learned some of the terms we will be dealing with in the later sections of the book, such as vector and raster-based images. You can at least now navigate the major sections of the interface (don’t worry, there is a lot more to come, we do not expect you to be an expert in the program’s deep functionality at this point).

In the next chapter, we will open up our first document and cover some more fundamental terms to make sure your art comes out the way you want it to. We will be talking about the difference between canvas and document size, as well as some professional workflow shortcuts such as the creation of presets and templates.
