Digital art?

Does photographic manipulation or multiple layering of images via programs like Photoshop make one a digital artist, or does it take adding and creating new pixels to receive that distinction?

Well personally for me art has no rules or bounderies so anything should go. Great artist are those who push the frontiers. I use photos as a base for my digital images so why not.

I am new to this group and just recently discovered doing digitally rendered artwork and creating it. In the past, I have done a lot of hand drawn art and sketches just for the fun of it but never thought of posting it on a website for sale. I would consider myself an novice/amateurish artist at best. I have had some professional art training at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh as well as graduating from Penn State with an Associates in Liberal Arts.

In my opinion, I think as we advance more and more into the Technological Age, you'll begin to see more and more different expressions of artwork using digital rendering programs. I use many different programs from SketchJoy to Divrr...Windows Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Windows Paint...you name it, I have probably used it.

I feel that using these programs is more or less experimental for me and in the long run will help unlock some hidden potentials that will transfer to doing this form of art on paper or canvas. Today, for example, I proved to myself that the digital artwork I was creating on my Samsung Note and on Divrr, did unlock in myself a hidden art potential I didn't know I had to be able to replicate the same digital processes onto paper. It felt good to me that I was able to hand sketch something I wold have never even considered sketching with just a regular pencil and paper sketch.
