Thanks for asking!
I'd love to share...because digital art is awesome!
I started my art career as 'traditional' painter (acrylic on canvas) in 2006. It's been great!
In early 2018, I discovered digital painting, and it changed my life more than a little bit.

Digital art is not a new art form, but it has become more accessible in recent years.
Digital paintings are done using traditional painting techniques such as watercolor, oils, gouache, etc.. Those techniques are applied with digital tools by means of a computer and a stylus (Apple Pencil for 12.9" iPad Pro in my case) . |
I start with a traditional pencil sketch of your pet from your reference photo.
Then I do all of the individual brushtrokes and fun details by hand in Procreate.

The finished digital painting is transferred to metal by a professional printer.
