8 of clubs o____o

i've finally completed my 8 of clubs [again =="] !! first of all, i made three circles the same size, and filled it with colour. then i created the stem thingy using that polygon tool. i also filled the triangle with colour. then i copied and pasted the clubs, and flipped it. and yeah, thats my 8 of clubs.. =] ohh, also, i saved this image as a 24-bit bitmap image, then i saved it again as a monochrome image.

the difference between a 24-bit bitmap and monochrome is that, when you save it as a monochrome image, the file size is smaller than that of the 24-bit bitmap image [if that makes sense.].

painting tools.

Free-form select: a tool used to select an image by drawing around it; sort of like cropping an image...

Select: something that makes a box around an image; the image can also be moved around

Eraser/Colour eraser: just like a real eraser - rubs out whatever you want to rub out

Fill with colour: fills something with colour; something you draw...

Pick Colour: selecting a colour from the colour thingy down at the bottom.....[i was wrong... you select it and it copies the colour...]

Magnifier: makes something bigger (and i mean big..)

Pencil: like a normal pencil, you draw with it [obviously..]

Brush: like a paintbrush; you can choose whatever width and style

Airbrush: like a spraycan~

Text: draws a box where you can type stuff in it

Line: draws straight lines .... o_o

Curve: o_o ... draws curves.. [doesn't the name say it all..]

Rectangle: draws rectangles of any size

Polygon: hmm.... draws lines continuously; it goes on and on and on and on....

Ellipse: draws ovals or circles or ellipses or whatever else is round.

Rounded rectangle: okay.. basically.. the definitions of the ellipse and rectangle combined - rectangles with round corners~

digital art...real art????

Is digital art a valid form of art??

I think digital art can be a valid form of art, becauuseee it's a person's own creation...just using technology, but I also think it's not valid. People consider digital art as a fake because they think the computer does all the work for them.

The definition of "digital art" is: "art created on a computer in digital form".

The definition of "art" is: "the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the sense or emotion."

Digital art should be considered as a fake because the computer controls everything they create, and real art is drawn and made by hand.

What are some of the advantages that digital paint and draw programs offer over the traditional methods (canvas and paint)?

Some advantages that digital paint and draw programs offer over the traditional methods of painting are:
+ you don't need to wait for the paint or anything to dry
+ you can vary in styles and colours; instead of making the right colour
+ ...

What skills must a digital artist possess to create great digital art?

A digital artist must possess...a creative mind....wide imagination... a steady hand.. o_o ...to create great digital art.

Digital Media

Examples of digital media:

- signals

- internet

- digital audio

- digital video

- digital mobile phones

Digital data is based on the binary system. This system consists of the two digits: 0 and 1.

A bit is a single number, either 0 or 1, that is used to store information.

A byte is a basic unit of measurement, also used to store information, but is a series of bits.

Eight bits are equal to one byte.

A sampling rate, also called a sample rate, is expressed in samples per second, Hertz or any other unit. This rate defines the number of samples from an analog signal converted into a digital form.

Colour depth, or bit depth, is the term for the number of bits representing a specific colour. Colour depth affects video and still media, because it can pick up different colours, and it can determine what the image will look like. The sampling rate only effects video and audio because it picks only picks up sound, and it can't capture images.
