Grossman Rhoda Draws. Digital Painting fundamentals with CorelPainter XII

Course Technology PTR, 2012. — 256 p.This book will get you started using Painter 12. If you are familiar with earlier versions of Painter, it will help you make the transition. You will get a step-by-step instruction for using the basic software and hardware that are the industry standard for pixel-based drawing and painting—Corel Painter and a Wacom graphics tablet. (If you’re not sure what a tablet is or what pixels are, see Appendix A, “Fundamentals and Beyond”). Exercises and projects will give you increasing control of tools and techniques. You will acquire and sharpen the skills needed for working in any medium, such as hand-eye coordination and drawing what you see. But there’s more to digital art than just knowing how to make a series of marks on an electronic canvas—you will also be introduced to traditional art concepts such as line quality, contrast, and focal point.
