org . ABOUT THE DIGITAL ARTIST AWARDS: OUR CONCEPT & VISION Digital art is a simple term for a big topic. It spans everything from iPhone sketches to electronic paintings, digital photographs, 8-bit throwbacks and mind-blowing CGI.

Many acclaimed artists have decided to create and exhibit their work digitally, while budding creatives need only look to their smartphones to get started. Allied Arts is pleased to announce for its next Artist Award the focus is Digital Art. Digital art is a form of art that uses digital technology in the creative process and can include a wide range of mediums and techniques.

Digital art can include digital drawings, paintings, illustrations, photos, videos, animation, audio and sculptures. It can also be computer generated, scanned, or interactive. Digital artists can use a variety of hardware and software, including drawing tablets, stylus pens, and computer software like Adobe Photoshop, Krita, Corel Painter, Clip Studio Paint, and Procreate.

AI assisted artwork is welcome. This is the tip of the iceberg for Digital Art creation. One of the main characteristics of digital art is the interaction with the viewer.

Their installations often allow the creation of immersive experiences that allow users to actively participate in the work. Thanks to the internet and digital platforms, users can share and distribute their artistic pieces to a global audience. This feature has democratized access to art, making it possible for the artistic community to discover and appreciate digital works.

Innovation is one of the main characteristics of digital art. The growing technological evolution and the emergence of new tools for creating offer artists a wide variety of techniques to explore new areas. Advanced editing programs, 3D modeling and augmented reality tools are just some of the technologies that are driving digital art.
