Below, we’ll explain how to digitize a drawing and offer a roadmap for catapulting your talent into the digital sphere. Whether you’re a beginner illustrator or a more seasoned graphic designer, this is your ticket to mastering the art of digital sketching. 

The considerations, steps, and ways to transform your work, including how to digitize a drawing in Photoshop, Illustrator, and other platforms. 


3 ways to digitize drawing 

  1. Adobe Illustrator 
  2. Adobe Photoshop 
  3. Procreate for iPad 

One of the most popular vector image-based software for illustrators, this Adobe program is excellent for line art like doodles, fonts, and calligraphy. It facilitates easy editing and scaling of your drawings without quality loss. Its powerful Pen tool is applauded for its precise tracing abilities, while its range of brushes adds texture and depth to the artwork. 

Photoshop is a wonderfully versatile platform that’s skilled at handling detailed work. It has a better color palette for editing than Adobe Illustrator and offers a broad range of filters and effects. Photoshop is also a great platform for creating detailed, textured, and layered digital drawings.

Procreate’s intuitive interface isn’t the only reason it’s popular among digital artists, especially those who prefer sketching directly onto a screen. This powerful digital illustration app offers a wide variety of brushes, an easy-to-use layers system, and a drawing experience similar to traditional sketching. Hungry for Procreate tips? Hold your pen down to straighten lines!

Whether you’re wondering how to vectorize an image in Illustrator, how to use Procreate, or how to clean up a Photoshop sketch, you’re in luck because learning has never been more accessible. Each of these platforms offers unique capabilities for digitizing your drawings, and depending on your work’s complexity, comfort level with the software, and hardware, you might prefer one over the others. The good news is there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.

TYPE OF FACE AND FEATURES

Have ever considered your face shape when choosing a cut or style? Your face shape can significantly change how certain hairstyles look on you. There are 7 basic face shapes and certain styles flatter each one! I am going to go into more detail about each basic face shape and what you might need to consider when choosing a new look. The 7 basic face shapes are oval, round, square, diamond, heart, pear and oblong. Now you might be thinking that’s great, but which one do I have? Well grab a mirror and read on as I describe each one!  OVAL The oval face shape is longer than wide, with a jaw that is narrower than the cheekbones.

This is where the magic happens! There are a few different ways to use wet on wet techniques for unusual and gorgeous effects, so I’ve broken them down into sections and given them names. Note that these aren’t official names but it helps me distinguish between the different types!                                                                                                                                                     ...
