As much art book as guide, The Photoshop and Painter Artist Tablet Book: Creative Techniques in Digital Painting using Wacom and the iPad, Second Edition uses traditional drawing and painting theory exercises, coupled with real-life projects, to show readers how they can use Painter and Photoshop with pressure-sensitive tablets to draw and paint with a computer.
In this gorgeous, large format, full-color book, award-winning artist and author Cher Threinen-Pendarvis takes readers through a variety of projects designed to improve their drawing, composition, and conceptual thought processes while exploring different uses of the many brushes available in Painter and Photoshop. Readers will benefit from Cher's creative thought processes and composition design secrets that she uses in her own work but all the concepts, processes, and projects in this book can be applied to readers' own drawings and paintings.
Through step-by-step lessons and detailed examples, Cher shows readers how to set up a pressure-sensitive tablet and stylus; use the iPad for sketching out ideas and use related software such as Brushes, Art Studio, and Adobe Ideas; use mark-making tools in Photoshop and Painter; create tonal, gestural, and contour drawings with a pressure-sensitive tablet and stylus; incorporate scanned artwork into digital paintings; use photos as a reference for the illustrations; make creative use of color and ideas for composition design; translate traditional color theory to digital color tools; simulate canvas and paper; create mixed media; and more.
