Is digital art “real” art?

Hey everyone! I’ve been seeing a lot of debates online about whether digital art is “real” art. Some people argue that because it’s created on a computer, it’s not the same as traditional art like painting or drawing. What do you think? Is digital art just as valid? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I think it’s important to recognize that art has always evolved with technology. Digital art is just another medium—like oil painting or charcoal—and it requires skill, creativity, and practice to master.

Just because you’re using digital tools doesn’t mean the creative process is any less real. In fact, many traditional art principles like composition, color theory, and lighting still apply, whether you’re using a brush on canvas or a stylus on a tablet.

I think people sometimes dismiss digital art because they think the computer “does all the work,” but that’s not true at all! It takes a lot of technical skill to use tools like Photoshop or Procreate effectively.

The fact that digital art can be replicated or edited easily doesn’t make it any less valuable. It’s just a different medium. You still have to have a vision, and the computer is just another tool to bring that vision to life.
