Layering
Used to separate different elements of a digital artwork, allowing for isolated editing and adjustments without affecting other components.
Masking
A technique to hide and reveal portions of layers without actually erasing them, often used for complex compositing tasks.
Vector Graphics
Uses mathematical equations to create art that is scalable without loss of quality, typically for logos and typography.
Raster Graphics
Pixel-based artwork, such as photographs, that can lose quality when scaled, edited with tools like brushes and erasers.
Digital Painting
Mimics traditional painting techniques using digital tools like tablets and styluses; employs various brushes and blending modes.
3D Modeling
Creating or manipulating a digital object in three-dimensional space, typically for animations, games, or visual effects.
Texture Mapping
Applying 2D images to the surface of 3D models to give the appearance of surface detail, like color or bumps.
Digital Sculpting
A technique akin to traditional sculpting, digital sculpting allows the artist to push, pull, smooth, and carve digital clay.
Photo Manipulation
Altering and transforming a photo to create artwork or to achieve particular effects, ranging from subtle retouching to surreal compositions.
Pixel Art
Creating digital art with a focus on individual pixels, often with a retro aesthetic reminiscent of early video games.
Line Art
Focusing on outlines and contours without extensive shading, typically used for illustrations, comics, and inking.
Concept Art
Creating visual designs intended to guide the final look of characters, environments, or objects in media such as games and films.
Motion Graphics
Combining graphic design, animation, and cinematic techniques to create animated graphic sequences, often used in multimedia projects.
Digital Inking
A technique in digital comics and illustration where lines are traced and defined over a sketch, often with a clean and precise look.
Glitch Art
Intentionally manipulating digital or analog errors for an aesthetic purpose, often resulting in visually striking and unpredictable results.
Typography
The art of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and visually appealing in a digital context.
Matte Painting
Creating realistic backgrounds or landscapes by painting or using photographic elements, typically for movies or video games.
Infographics
Designing visual representations of information, data, or knowledge, aiming to present complex information quickly and clearly.
Isometric Art
A technique creating a 3D effect in a 2D digital art by drawing objects in a pseudo three-dimensional space at specific angles.
Subsurface Scattering
A rendering technique that simulates the way light penetrates translucent materials such as skin, wax, or leaves.
