Digital Surrealism 

Realism vs Surrealism


Realism takes subject matters of the ordinary and common world which we call "reality." We can see the true illustration of pictures in real life. Surrealism is a twist of realism. It explores the subconscious mind, all the illustrations are more likely to be a dream, according to the artists' idea which are illogical.

Surrealism are dream-like and symbolic images. They are made using imagination, that is why it doesn't make sense. 

Dadaism

An anti war art movement with art works that is  satirical and nonsensical in nature

How to make Digital Surrealism
  1. Sketch it out 
    • Draw the key elements we want to include roughly, like what we dreamt of
  2. Find reference images
    • Find reference that suits our sketch 
  3. Having a "unreal and real" mindset
    • Surrealism images are tend to be nonexistent, they are in humans' imaginations. However, by looking at the images, it should look convincing that it is real 
  4. Just go for it
    • May seem challenging, but use it to upgrade skills.
