The digital times that we live in, teenagers look for new pastimes on gadgets, and digital art has emerged to be one such options. In fact, there are hundreds of digital art tools available that help teens continue with their love for creativity and innovation in art, without any constraint. Here are some parent-approved digital art resources that teens can try out.
Art for Kids Hub
Although it is a digital art resource, Art for Kids Hub is traditional in the sense that it encourages the use of pencil and paper. This online tutorial has wide range of videos that help teens learn art smoothly and with a lot of fun. From sketches and portraits to the use of different colours, this portal teaches everything to an aspiring digital artist. The teens can create Minecraft characters to spooky Halloween figures on this website.
Art Authority App
This online portal gives access to international artists and their artworks that teenagers can explore and learn from. It is an interactive online gallery, where people of all age groups, from amateurs to experts, share views, discuss their works and browse each other’s’ artworks. There are also live sessions where art specialists provide lessons as well as various dos and don’ts videos that can come in handy for teenagers.
Paper 53
This is primarily a digital sketchbook. It has all kinds of art tools that are otherwise hard to procure in real life for a teenage artist. This app allows users to draw, sketch, paint and create abstract figures using plenty of colours. It is especially popular for its fine line option that supports varieties of colours. Also, nothing goes to waste on this app, meaning, the digital paper or sketchbook or the colours can always be reused and recycled online. The app also has few guide tools to help achieve precision. Its hands-on experience also allows a real-life touch.
Sketchpad Explorer
This app is also an online sketchbook, much like Paper 53. This app not only supports conventional drawing but helps teens learn a lot about shapes and geometry, using the available textures and patterns. The best part about this app is its 2D and 3D art feature, that makes it all the more exciting for teenagers. The feature where users can substitute layers and colours and incorporate their own art techniques, make this app stands out from others.
