Digital Fantasy Painting Workshop

Digital Fantasy Painting Workshop

by Martin Mc Kenna (Author)

Synopsis

Fantasy painting has a long tradition. It went through one stylistic revolution in the 1980s, with the widespread adoption of the airbrush. And in the last decade, with the emergence of Photoshop and 3D modelling and rendering applications, it has gone through another. Digital tools and techniques have made it easier for artists to realize their visions, and the images they are now able to create are more vivid, more realistic, and more compelling. Digital Fantasy Painting Workshop tackles the three main categories within the genre - fantasy, science fiction and horror - and employs detailed step-by-step workthroughs to show exactly how the images are produced. Featuring work from some of the world's leading fantasy artists, the book explores the 'tradigital' mix of traditional and digital skills. Digital Fantasy Painting Workshop is a 'must-have' book for anyone working in the area of fantasy art - and for anyone who admires the work of fantasy illustrators.
