    what is digital art?
    i wanna see if anyone of u out there have nice idea on what is digital art.
    so, opinions anyone?
    let's just not discuss abt wat it is, but also wat are there.

    to me,
    digital art is just like any other art. it uses many tools to create it.
    computer softwares are the tools. like photoshop, maya, and etc.

    digital art are divided into few categories, digital painting, digital photography & darkroom, and fractals.

    well that's not all, but i wan to hear from u guys!

    =)

    Pretty much, Artistic expression using computers and software.

    There's lots of different categories it can be divided into, the categories under digital art for DA would cover most of them I assume though.

    Edit: Definitions through google:

    "Art that makes use of new digital media such as computers and the Internet."

    "Digital art is art created on a computer in digital form. Digital art can be purely computer-generated, such as fractals, or taken from another source, such as a scanned photograph, or an image drawn using vector graphics software using a mouse or graphics tablet."

    Depends.
    Digital Art, obviously Art using computer based Software.

    But I think it's got to be at least slightly artistic etc. You can't called Sigs Digital Art, Graphics maybe...But there's a big difference between Graphics and Art.

    "Art" has different meanings for different people. Something that I might consider to be art might not look like anything to the next guy. The point is that you're using your mind to invent, imagine, and create.
    Digital art for me serves a purpose; I think it's stress-relieving and a good way to exercise creativity. Some people consider it a profession and make lots of money off of it. It's different for everybody.
    At least, that's what I think.
