Introduction

Digital painting is huge! It's a modern, creative medium that is growing rapidly and is being used in so many industries and by so many individuals hobbyists and professionals alike. This book is just a slice of what's out there in the digital painting world, but within this slice we aim to offer a comprehensive cross-section of tips and techniques from some of the most accomplished digital artists in the industry today. We cover a wide variety of popular subjects, from aliens, creatures and humans through to robots, cityscapes and natural environments, including weather effects and many more. The styles we cover vary from speed painting, offering a more traditional impressionistic style, through to setting up the many custom brushes that can provide precise, technical and often time-saving techniques.

Speaking of traditional media, it is important to remember that digital painting is becoming more widely accepted and highly regarded as the techniques and resulting imagery advance. Long gone is the time of sceptics who regarded painting with the aid of hardware and software as cheating; the artist still needs to be just as talented as ever before to produce the breathtaking work you can see throughout these pages. However, with the benefits that digital painting offers, such as increased speed, freedom to experiment, efficient workflows and ease of sharing work with online communities, more and more artists are discovering and embracing this incredible medium. And with guides such as this book, we strive for everyone interested in digital art to be the best they possibly can be by learning from the masters' tutorials, whilst being inspired by their gallery images.

Custom Brushes

Any artist will tell you that the link between their thoughts and ideas and the actual paintings they produce are the tools they wield. From a traditional standpoint these have been the canvas and in particular the brushes. These are no less important in a digital context; the increasing array of brushes available and the freedom to create customized versions is paramount to the quality of digital painting today. This chapter provides an insight into the value of using custom brushes, and shows how they can be created from scratch and tailored to suit your subject matter.
