About this title

Synopsis

This book celebrates the marriage of traditional methods of art with the tools of the twenty-first century. Many artists and non-artists are beginning to challenge standard techniques by adopting the rapidly expanding technology of computers to create new, dynamic images. This book explores nine digital art techniques, each presented in step-by-step instruction translating the familiar processes of painting, drawing, or sketching to the computer. Featured techniques are applicable to a variety of digital art programs, including Adobe Photoshop, PixelPaint Pro, and Fractal Design Painter.
A gallery of finished work follows each chapter, making this book an exciting and inspiring tool. Beginners will find easy-to-understand, visual instruction, accompanied by brief, technical captions that help readers apply and build their skills. Professional artists will find that Painting with Computers complements existing computer manuals and offers tricks of the trade from artists on the cutting-edge.
