Digital Illustration

 Artists may transfer from a method of drawing directly on paper, to drawing on a digital canvas or pad. The difference is that the information is captured digitally, and filtered directly into the digital illustration interface.

An artist might use a graphics tablet or a mouse to create digital artwork. A graphics tablet is an input device that connects to the computer and has a tablet, or pad, with an attached pen. The artist uses the pen to draw on the tablet. The resulting image is saved to the computer, where it can be enhanced and refined. Some artists use a mouse for digital illustration, but many find that they can control images better with a pen than a mouse. Graphics tablets also usually have some degree of pressure sensitivity, which gives artists more flexibility in the way they draw.

Digital illustration is used in nearly every area of graphic designand illustration. It is used extensively in web design and software design, as well as in the creation of posters, t-shirts, computer animation, and advertisements. Digital illustration is often combined with traditional illustration, especially in books and comic books, to produce a truly unique style of art.



Digital illustration styles

Another advantage of digital illustration is being able to quickly jump between styles. Illustrators can create pencil sketches, watercolors, acrylic paintings, charcoal drawings, or bold abstract vector art at the click of a button. Having complete control over the customization of brush strokes and types makes it easy to experiment with new styles and combine techniques in ways they may not have thought of before when working with traditional media.

As well as digital illustration that mirrors traditional techniques, created in raster image software, illustrators also have access to vector illustration which opens up another world of styles that would not be possible to create using traditional media. Vector illustration lets artists create images with flawless colors and perfect lines, creating beautiful images without any margin for error.

Digital illustration software

There is a wide range of digital illustration software available for both hobbyists and professional artists. For those wanting to replicate the painterly effect of traditional media, raster image software like Corel PHOTO-PAINT and Corel Painter are specifically designed for digital illustrators.

For those wanting to embrace the digital side of things fully, CorelDRAW is a vector illustration software that lets illustrators create high-quality vector artwork. While raster images work with pixels, which allow for continuous tonal shifts in the artwork, vector files are created using mathematical formulas. This lets illustrators create totally perfect lines and blocks of color that are perfect for people looking for a crisp, abstract style.

Nearly all vector illustration software lets users export files in file types such as EPS, SVG, AI, and CDR formats that can be scaled endlessly without losing quality.
