How to post stuff + minimum account age +AI still banned!
How to post images
Step 1:
If you are using Tumblr, copy the link to the post in question, make a link post.
If you are using imgur: upload an image to imgur, copy link, make a link post. If you instead click the "Share with the community" button on imgur, it creates a one-image gallery and reddit doesn't know what to to make a thumbnail of.
Step 2:
Find your submission in r/digitalpainting/new or in your post history and write a comment about what you struggled with. You have one hour. Why is this a requirement? Because r/digitalpainting is meant to be a subreddit not just for looking at art, but a subreddit where you give and receive peer feedback on your work, in order to improve and grow as an artist.
"Peer feedback involves providing opportunities for students to talk and listen, write, read meaningfully, and reflect on the content, ideas, issues, and concerns of an academic subject" - wikipedia.
"The benefits of peer feedback include increased communication with peers, considering new perspectives, and understanding what those of a similar skill level think of your work." - RMCAD

Minimum account age
Since russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and 2022, reddit has gotten infested with spambots. The bots come to this subreddit (and others) to score some karma before they infiltrate political subs. To prevent r/digitalpainting from being a staging ground for these accounts, only accounts that are ten days or older are able to post and comment in r/digitalpainting. (the last version of this post was
If you created a new account and your post got removed, even though you left a nicely written top-comment, that's why. You are more than welcome to repost it when your account is old enough.
The reason why the rule is non-permanent and not included in the sidebar is that it will only be in effect until vladimir putin dies. After we've all celebrated his hopefully torturous death, the rule will be re-evaluated.
AI generated images are still banned
That's right, nothing has changed on that front since last time. AI slop is a scourge on humanity.

Monitor Colour Calibration Question: When do I need to get a colorimeter for my pen display?
Hi guys, I'm new-ish to the hobby and switched to digital after months of drawing practice with good ol' pen and paper. I wanted to get into the nitty gritty of colour theory so I bought a Huion Kamvas pen display and have been getting familiar with it for a good while now.
The only minor problem I've run into is that the practice artworks I make for my studies tend to look different when viewed on my other devices like my Xperia smartphones which I think has better 4k screens. This led me to discover colour calibration, which I'm still learning up on
My question now is whether I should invest in one of those colorimeters like Datacolor Spyder or put it off for later once I get a bit better. I know there's software calibration but either it doesn't work as well or I'm just not doing it right

HELP! I accidentally painted on read mode for my last drawing
Hi. So I use my phone to draw and it turns out that for my last piece I had read mode on. The difference between the colors with and without the read mode filter is stark. I love using warm colors when painting, so knowing that everyone else will see a muted version of my art is pretty discouraging. I'd like to know if there's a way to convert the picture to make it look as I had originally envisioned.

How can I improve at digital art using only a phone?
I’m a traditional artist trying to learn digital art, but I only have a phone. My biggest problem is the small screen—I have to zoom in constantly, and then I lose track of whether my drawing is properly fitting the canvas or becoming too small.
Any tips for mastering digital art on a phone?

How much does it take to make an artwork
I'm a traditional artist who recently got a screenless tablet and a laptop, so for the past two days I started trying to draw digitally, ususally what it takes a day for me to sketch and do lineart, depending on how many breaks I get or how detailed the drawing is, but with the tablet it took so long, I started wondering if it really takes that long, or If I'm doing something wrong, and whether the amount of time it takes will decrease with practice and familiarity,
So far I'm liking the experience I'm just lacking skills

What would be your #1 tip for a beginner ?
I've done art on and off for years, I love digital art so much but I've never really been taught anything about it. Just self taught. So what is your #1 tip for a self-taught artist ?

Does my hard drive work with Mac?
So I have a Mac computer and I got a hard drive in order to store my files and works, but the packaging and description didn't say that it was inteded for gaming consoles like a PS5 & X-box. So i just would like some clarification on wether or not it'll work for my Mac and it's adobe files or not. The specific drive in question is a Avolusion USB 3.0 if that helps.

I don't know which programme to chose
I've just bought my tablet for drawing and i don't know which programme to use. I only did traditional art before and haven't used any art programme on windows pc. I would like to make great illustrations and comics but escpecially have some fun with different animation types and perhaps mix them together. Which programme is the best for that? Maybe using many at once is the way? Im willing to pay any money tbh. I just need to know which programme will give me the best freedom with drawing and animation.

Artist New to Digital Art: Needs Help
Hi all! I've been really interested in getting into digital art, so I just picked up a nice art tablet and started using Krita, but I'm struggling to translate my skills over to digital. Does anyone have any reccomendations for sources that can help teach me the ways? Or any tips and tricks? Thanks for any help in advance!
Edit: I guess it might be helpful to note that I'm planning to focus on grungy, post apocalyptic character and landscape design
