Software for Artists

On this page

Computers and software greatly expand the creative potential for artists yet sometimes artists are hesitant to embrace digital tools. This is understandable since so much of creation is done with analog tools such as sketching on paper or making cardboard models but once one becomes proficient with digital tools then the use of digital tools comes as natural as reaching for a pencil.

This software and digital tool list focuses on tools that have many uses outside of the creative fields. Some tools such as 3D-Modeling-Sofware have obvious applications for Sculpture and making while others such as Excel may be less obvious until one needs to write a budget or track expenses.
