Digital painting is a kind of art form in which traditional painting techniques such as watercolor, oils, impasto, charcoal, and many others, are applied using digital tools by means of a computer, a digitizing tablet and stylus, widely known as WACOM for most artists, and softwares. The only difference a traditional painting has from a digital painting is the use of actual canvas, brushes and paints. But many softwares such as Corel Painter, Adobe Photoshop, ArtRage, GIMP, and openCanvas give the same feeling to the painter: a canvas, different brushes, paints, pencils, charcoals, pastels, and even airbrushing. What's great about digital painting is that you can revise your artworks by just clicking the mouse!
Here are some examples of artworks done digitally..
They are pretty cool, huh?

Anyone can do digital painting. Just take your time to practice and familiarized yourself with whichever software you want to use. Having a talent or a know-how in traditional arts is a plus but even ordinary people, who haven't discovered their artistic talents yet, can also create beautiful artworks!
We can really say to ourselves, "There is an artist in me."
