Digital Art Tools
📋 What it is
Digital tools — layers, brushes, selections, undo — let artists work non-destructively and try ideas without fear.
🗣️ Coach says
Digital art’s superpower is layers and undo. You can try a bold idea on a new layer, and if it flops, delete it — the rest is untouched. Working non-destructively means you experiment freely instead of being afraid to ruin your work.
🧠 Memory hook
Layers + undo = experiment without fear. Work non-destructively.

What's an artist's favorite swimming stroke?
The brushstroke!
😲 Whoa!
Because of undo and layers, a digital artist can try a hundred versions of an idea in the time it took to try one on paper.
