Intermediate Digital Illustration & Painting

Question 1
What is a primary advantage of using layers in digital painting software?

(A) They let you rearrange elements, but all adjustments become permanent.

(B) They automatically convert color modes when merging layers.

(C) They significantly reduce the file size of the image.

(D) They allow non-destructive editing of individual elements.

Question 2
What determines the brush dynamics in digital painting software?

(A) Default brush presets are based solely on physical analogue brushes, limiting customizability.

(B) Only the hardware type influences the brush dynamics without software adjustment.

(C) User-defined settings such as brush flow, opacity, and pressure sensitivity.

(D) Layer blending modes directly control how the brush behaves.

Question 3
What is the function of a blending mode in digital painting?

(A) It is a tool used to manually merge colors with a brush.

(B) It defines how layers interact with each other's colors.

(C) It appears to blend layers seamlessly but only affects opacity without changing pixel values.

(D) It only applies to background layers while leaving other layers unchanged.

Question 4
In digital illustration, what is a significant benefit of using vector brushes over raster brushes?

(A) They always support natural media textures better than raster brushes.

(B) They allow scalability without pixelation, maintaining crisp and clean lines.

(C) They permanently lock the image resolution once applied.

(D) They produce smooth, scalable lines but often sacrifice detailed texture reproduction.

Question 5
When working on digital illustrations, why is using reference images considered important?

(A) They help in achieving accurate proportions and realistic details.

(B) They are only beneficial for beginners and are unnecessary at an intermediate level.

(C) They sometimes limit creative freedom but improve anatomical accuracy.

(D) They speed up the process by automatically applying the correct colors.

Question 6
How does utilizing custom brushes benefit a digital artist?

(A) It allows for personalized textures and stroke styles that can match the artist's vision.

(B) They mimic traditional media effectively, but may not always be consistent across devices.

(C) It restricts the creative workflow by locking in unchangeable settings.

(D) They enforce a standard look, thereby reducing creative individuality.

Question 7
What is a practical application of using layer masks in digital painting?

(A) They automatically add texture effects to a selected area without further adjustments.

(B) They help isolate parts of the artwork for non-destructive editing and corrections.

(C) They hide parts of a layer temporarily, but if misused, can lock parts of the image permanently.

(D) They permanently erase underlying layers once applied.

Question 8
How can digital artists simulate natural shading in their work?

(A) By applying a single global filter over the artwork, which often results in a flat appearance.

(B) By manipulating opacity, layering techniques, and using custom brushes to create realistic shadows and highlights.

(C) By using preset gradients that cannot be adjusted further by the artist.

(D) By solely relying on the eraser tool to adjust tones on a completed artwork.

Question 9
What is the importance of color theory in digital illustration?

(A) It is irrelevant since digital designs have access to millions of colors without any planning.

(B) It guides the selection and combination of hues to create mood, balance, and visual interest.

(C) It influences color choices, but digital tools automatically override these theoretical decisions.

(D) It only dictates which colors should be used, without affecting the overall composition.

Question 10
Which scenario best represents effective use of digital brushes for texture creation?

(A) Switching to a textured brush similar to the default one, assuming it will automatically generate realistic textures.

(B) Choosing a uniform brush to fill the background without any variations.

(C) Relying exclusively on default brush settings and avoiding any brush customization.

(D) Using custom brushes to layer organic textures that mimic natural surfaces in a complex composition.
