    5 digital illustration techniques you should try in 2026

    Digital illustration is evolving. By 2026, certain techniques will be consolidated as essential. Incorporate these 5 trends to your portfolio. Digital illustration continues to transform at an accelerated pace. Every year new tools, styles and approaches emerge that expand the creative possibilities for artists of all levels. In 2026, visual trends point to a balanced combination of digital, analog and narrative experimentation. Mastering new techniques not only broadens your skills, but also allows you to stand out in an increasingly competitive industry. Exploring trends is a way to stay current, nurture your style and discover unexpected ways to tell visual stories. Here are 5 key techniques that will shape digital illustration in 2026, ideal to start integrating into your creative workflow today. 1. Analog textures applied digitally. The fusion between manual and digital will continue to grow. Illustrators are increasingly incorporating brushes that simulate graphite, charcoal, ink, oil or watercolor, achieving a handmade finish without giving up digital flexibility. It is also becoming common to digitize real textures rough paper, watercolor stains, handmade strokes to integrate them in layers and enrich the composition. This technique adds depth, imperfection and humanity, highly valued in editorial illustration, children, posters and personal art.

    Photopea: Tips for Beginners

    Tips for using Photopea: a free online advanced photo editor Photopea is a free application for advanced photo editing. It works with both vector and raster graphics so that you can work with files in various formats. This software came from the mind of the young Czech programmer Ivan Kurtskir, who initially created it as a school project. Get to know some of its main functions, how they compare to other photo editors and how it can help you to your design process. How does it work? It is often called the “free alternative to Photoshop,” and that’s close to the truth. You’ll find an interface very similar to the Adobe editor, in terms of tools, menus, and usability. This is a big improvement on other free options like GIMP, whose interface isn’t so friendly. You don’t have to pay anything to use Photopea. Nor do you need to install anything. Simply enter the site and edit online (you can continue working on the program even if you lose connection). Just like Photoshop or Sketch, it works completely on your device and doesn’t publish your pictures on the internet. The disadvantage? Ads while you work.

    Tutorial Photography: Why Have an Artist's Sketchbook

    Discover the basic tips to create your sketchbook and awaken your visual culture with Dara Scully Of all the tools used by creatives, there is one that is invaluable in all formats and media: the artist's sketchbook. "For all those who want to pursue something creative, it is very important to have something called visual culture," explains photographer Dara Scully (@darascully). Visual culture consists of having a collection of image references, ideas, and various sources of inspiration to which you can turn when the time comes to create. The artist's sketchbook is where you can keep this collection of information and inspiration, which is why it is such an important part of any creative process. In the following video, Scully explains how and why she uses an artist's sketchbook and shares several basic concepts that you can apply to start your own.
