Welcome to Paint-O-rama
Because vectoring isn't the only modern way to good wallpapers
Goal: Sharing tutorials, scans, wallpapers, hosting projects and contests
Definition: What can be called painting style in web graphism?
candy says: Well normally what has a painted look is in fact a form of what we call digital painting. Digital Painting is anything that is painted with digital tools such as programs like Corel Painter, Open Canvas or Adobe Photoshop, with the help of a mouse or a graphic tablet. Some styles are rather realistic-looking with extreme care to fine detail. As to other styles are closer to ( I think I can say it) Impressionism, by keeping a very brushy and almost messy feel to it. Adapting those definitions into the anime walling world would mean anything in a wallpaper from a scenic element (mountains, trees, clouds) to recoloring or blending that is achieved by using such tools (mostly the paintbrush/airbrush, smudge & etc)could be called "painty"- Compared to, let's say filters and effects. The degree of "painting" feel to the result can vary a lot, as no one brushes the exact same way, but most of the time we can recognize the style.
muz says: To put it simply, if painting with a tablet is like with a very fine brush, then painting with a mouse is like doing that with a brick.
monchi says: my idea of digital painting: is like road tripping to a world imaginable only by you - in pixel format. A drawing tablet is your bread and butter if you're serious about digital art.
