2. Introduction to digital painting

In the previous lectures, you have studied that the computer is an electronic device used to process the data or information which is fed into them and store & retrieve the information.

 

Look at the picture shown in the below table.

 

 

Think a minute about this picture and answer the following questions.

 

Drawing:

We can create a digital drawing with software that lets the user create dots of various diameters, which transform into lines. Additionally, other features can be used, like colours, erasers, and drawn lines' transformation. Output (finished work) can be then brought into the real world by printing.

Materials used: Graphite, Marker, Ink, Crayon, Paint.

 

 

Painting:

For painting, we can use oil paint, acrylic paint, ink, watercolour.

 

Digital Painting:
Digital painting is an upcoming art form in which traditional painting techniques such as watercolour, oils, impasto, etc., are applied using digital tools using a computer.

The artist can create a digital painting by using the painting techniques directly on the computer. All digital painting programs are using various brushes and paint effects to replicate what the physical media does. Many application programs have brushes that are digitally styled to describe the typical style like oils, acrylics, pastels, charcoals, pens and airbrushing.

We can design, view, and edit pictures on our computers through software. (Software and its types are discussed in the previous exercise)
