The Artist’s Studio: Digital Art Tools
Art Tools
Welcome to our digital art tools studio. This collection is designed to support every stage of your visual work, from the initial inspiration to the final touch. Use the Grid and Perspective tools to lay out composition, explore color harmonies with our Palette Generator, or clear your mind and sketch freely with the Zen Brush. Select a tool below to begin.
Museum Spark
From the Museum of Chicago, a selection of artwork from a variety of art genres, time periods, cultures, themes and area of origin.
Explore Color
Understand the color wheel, saturation, and temperature. Learn the science behind why some colors clash and others are harmonious.
Grid Tool
Lay a customizable grid over any reference image. Use it to check your layout, verify proportions, and focus on one section at a time.
Perspective Tool
Snap a digital guide over your picture to ensure your angles are perfect. Toggle between one, two, and three-point perspective guides.
Drawing Canvas
A quick digital workspace to sketch your ideas instantly. Use markers, pencils, pens, and spray brushes to jot down a concept before it fades.
Zen Brush
Part meditation, part drawing. Explore the concept of impermanence: sketch your idea and watch it slowly evaporate over time.
