Résumé

It eliminates the worry of ruined surfaces, toxic chemicals, and expensive materials and introduces powerful tools that are able to realistically simulate water color, oil paint, and air brush techniques. What used to take artists hours to accomplish can now be completed in a few short steps. Mastering Digital 2D and 3D Art is designed to help the traditional artist make the move to digital media. It includes step-by-step projects that show how to create both 2D and 3D art and offers helpful hints regarding the digital art programs that will most effectively help you meet your objectives.

Create digital portrait and figure paintings
Create digital art from photographs
