Fast 5: Artist of the Week with Jibreel Zeinab
Stop, drop, and Photoshop.
February 14, 2022
1. What is interesting about digital art to you?
One thing that is interesting to me is masking a picture because you can take a picture of a background, put another picture over it, and make it look like it’s one picture and not two separate pictures.
2. What is the most fun thing about digital art?
I enjoy learning how to use Photoshop overall because I’ve used it before but was not really good at it, and it’s really cool that I’m learning new stuff that I didn’t know before.
3. Are you planning on doing digital art in the future?
I would say yes because I’m not really good at painting or drawing with a pencil, but I’m better at drawing and painting with Photoshop instead.
4. Is digital art difficult at all?
I wont say it’s difficult at all, but it requires a lot of patience–especially for me because my current project is masking an image, and it’s taking me over a week to finish. So it’s not hard, just very time-consuming.
5. Can you describe yourself in one word?
Self-aware. I know my own strengths and weaknesses, and I can put those strengths to my advantage–which I feel people should do more often. And I also feel like people should know what they can and can’t do, especially in digital art which takes creativity.
