Combining a Wacom tablet or display with Painter software allows painters of all stripes to create when the inspiration strikes.īut how does one capture the muse digitally? We asked the team at Painter to round up their best tutorials so you can get your digital paintbrush primed to capture the windswept landscapes of your dreams.

If you’re a painter (or aspiring painter) with a vision in your mind and a paintbrush for a heart (call 911, if this is literally the case) but something keeps getting between you and the canvas, technology is here to help. Or perhaps you are them (we envy you, windswept painter person!) But often the reality of painting (messy paints, awaiting the correct natural light, lack of a windswept beach) can stop even the most passionate painter in their tracks. They got their own pro's and con's, which I'm sure you can google for more details.You’ve seen them standing there with their easels on windswept cliffs and windswept beaches and windswept botanical gardens, quietly capturing the scene with their paints. Photoshop: Pretty much what some would call a Industry standard, has a steeper learning curve but is well above most drawing softwares, also there are a lot of tutorials on how to use it.

Sketchbook: Greatly intuitive, has a trial, and is incredibly amazing when you're new to digital art.Ĭorel Draw: Pretty good and versatile, kinda hard to learn to use in my opinion. SAI (ITS FREEEEEE): Pretty good standard for a free software. One thing to keep in mind though is that no Wacom alternative offers multi-touch (finger touch input) on their tablets, so if that's something important to you, your only option is Wacom (or 2-in-1 computers).Ĭlip Studio Paint (Manga Studio): If you're into drawing comic/manga style drawings this has many tools tailored for it. I use a XP-Pen Artist 16 Pro Digital Tablet with screen and I've had experience with an Ugee HK1560 and both of them are great tablets which give you the "drawing directly on the screen" experience for way less than Wacom.
