Digital graphics by contemporary artists. Digital Painting: Three Ways to Create Illustrations on the Computer

computer models, but through human use of computer simulations traditional instruments artist.

general information

Creating a drawing / painting from start to finish on a computer is a relatively new direction in fine arts. It makes no sense to establish the exact date of the creation of the first computer drawing (you can get bogged down in determining what is artistic and serious enough for a drawing as such); however, the approximate date of the wide appearance of impressive and colorful works made on the PC is 1995-1996 (this date accounts for the appearance and wide distribution of relatively affordable SVGA monitors and video cards capable of displaying 16.7 million colors)). The computer in digital painting is the same tool as a brush with an easel. In order to draw well on a computer, it is also necessary to know and be able to apply all the knowledge and experience accumulated by generations of artists (perspective, aerial perspective, color circle, highlights, reflexes, etc.). The use of digital technologies in photography has also given rise to hybrid technologies (for example, photo-impressionism).

Examples of works by digital artists

• Theft in the caravanserai by Guro Roman.
• Daisies and Gargoyle by Ellyon.

The progress of digital painting

At the end of XX - early XXI For centuries, CG-art (Computer Graphics Art) has been rapidly developing and has a strong position in the design of books / posters, prevails in the industry computer games And modern cinema, popular in amateur art. The reasons for the rapid displacement of the old funds from these areas:

Availability

In order to create digital works of any level, it is necessary to purchase / have a personal computer of sufficient power, a graphics tablet and several programs for computer painting. All this will cost ~$1500 ( most of this amount - the cost of licensed programs) in the initial version (professionals buy more expensive computers, monitors and tablets, but they only increase the convenience of work).

Great work speed

Particularly critical in the area of ​​paid artistic activity: design of books, movies, games. Specialized programs for CG artists (such as Painter) contain a large number of tools to speed things up. Choosing the right color is a matter of seconds (unlike traditional painting where you need to mix paints to get the right color - it takes experience and time), choosing the right brush / tool is also an almost instant operation. The ability to undo your actions, as well as the ability to save at any moment of your work and return to it later, and even a large list of features and benefits - all this makes the work of a professional artist several times faster with the same quality. Besides, computer work immediately ready for use in digital technologies movies, games, layouts - an oil painting must first be transferred to a digital form.

Unique Toolkit

For example, working with layers or applying textures from photographs to the parts of the picture you need; generation of noise of a given type; various brush effects; HDR pictures; various filters and corrections - all this and much more is simply not available in traditional painting.

prospects

Traditional art almost reached its limit in terms of perfection of technique and means back in the 18th century. Since then, nothing new has been added - you still have pigment, oil (or a ready-made mixture of them), canvas and brushes. And nothing new will appear. It is fair to say that modern computer painting is still far from the best paintings of the geniuses of the past in terms of quality and scale of work - but it has room to develop. The resolution of monitors is growing, the quality of color reproduction is increasing, the power of computers is growing, programs for digital painting are changing and improving, there is a fundamental possibility of creating new methods and devices for working with color / color output (projectors or holography).

Ease of learning by some groups of people and ease of operation

If you know how to work on a computer and are an inquisitive and energetic person, it will not be difficult for you to understand the interface of computer painting programs - it is the same as in most Windows programs + quite logical digital artist tools. Both paid and free video tutorials on working in a particular program are available on the Internet. With regard to cg-art programs, such video tutorials contain a record of all stages of the work of a digital artist on a painting.

Disadvantages of digital painting

Difficulty of development

At the moment, there are very few schools or more serious educational institutions that teach in this specialty - mostly the most energetic and inquisitive people, and especially children who can learn on their own and find information on their own, become digital artists; designers and printers (who have experience working with graphics on a PC); most famous digital artists graduated from educational institutions in traditional painting and only then independently switched to cg-art. Also, a modern digital artist is unthinkable without the Internet (communication with colleagues, employers, searching for new programs or ways of drawing, etc.) - and again, not everyone has it. There are practically no books on creating drawings on a computer, but the situation is gradually improving.
As of 2007, the situation is in a fairly good position - at this moment there are quite a few different educational resources to prepare future teachers of fine arts to work with digital devices. Techniques for working on a computer with a graphic tablet and various programs that allow you to engage in media drawing. In the near future, such courses will be launched in the main pedagogical universities of the country, which, in turn, will subsequently have a positive impact on schools and other universities when hiring new teachers who have good experience in working with media drawing and digital painting in their arsenal.

The current limit of computer technology

Modern monitors still do not work at resolutions close to the resolution of our eyes. That is, the monitor is not capable of displaying such a number of details and details that live observation of the same size section of the canvas can provide classical painting. You can print your picture on a printer - but this gives rise to the third problem of cg-art:

The problem with the output of a computer image to a physical medium

Monitors operate in the RGB color space - 16.7 million colors. Printing on paper cannot physically cover this entire range of colors - the CMYK color space covers a smaller number of colors and shades. At the moment there is no decent medium for digital drawing. Monitors that can show all the colors of the picture (and have brightness, contrast, color settings) have too low a resolution that does not allow showing all the details of the picture (they do not show it in full size without interpolation - a regular monitor cannot display more than 1-2 megapixels at the same time , special and rather expensive LCD monitors can show about 8 megapixels).

Copyright issue

Whoever has the original (source) drawing file is the owner of the drawing. But, like any digital information, a file can be duplicated (copied) and replicated in unlimited quantities without any tangible costs. The simplest example protecting your drawing - posting a small copy on the Internet (usually professional artists they draw in high resolution - 6000 × 10000 pixels and even more - it is convenient to draw details, and a small version is posted on the Internet - 1600 × 1200 or less; or even a fragment). In this case, whoever has a large version of the drawing is its author and owner. Copyright on a digital drawing is easy to change and real help its presence can only be felt by well-known artists.

Company last week Wacom, a virtual monopoly in the world of digital painting, introduced new technology WILL– Wacom Ink Layer Language. This is a new universal standard that enables cross-platform and collaboration on premises or in the cloud, regardless of device and ecosystem. The technology involves the use of not only specialized tablets for digital painting, but also smartphones and conventional tablet computers equipped with styluses.

Digital painting, that is, the creation of electronic paintings using computer simulations of artistic tools is very interesting area. We don't hear every week big news about the new graphics tablet and do not wait with bated breath for new tools, however, this area of ​​consumer electronics is steadily and continuously developing. not at all as highly specialized as, say, programming. The availability of technologies and tools allows even non-professional artists to create their own digital paintings. How has this industry developed and what can we expect in the future? Let's try to find out!

The direction of digital painting is quite young, which is obvious - for its appearance, a sufficient development of computers and devices for input and output of information was necessary. The exact date of the first computer drawing, in general, is not known to anyone. And what can be considered as such? Should pseudographics be classified as digital drawing or not? The first noticeable and colorful works made on a computer appeared in the mid-90s of the last century, when the widespread use of SVGA monitors and video cards capable of displaying 16.7 million colors.

Interestingly, the ancestor of the modern digital artist's toolkit, the first Graphics tablet appeared long before the development of personal computers. Elisha Gray patented the first drawing tablet in 1888. But the first device, really similar to modern ones, consisting of a pen and a flat pressure-sensitive device, worked in conjunction with a computer Stylator and was used for handwriting in 1957.

In 1964, a graphics tablet was introduced, which used a grid of semiconductors below the input surface to which ternary Gray-coded electrical impulses were applied. The pen received this signal, which could then be decoded back into coordinates.

But the first consumer graphics devices called KoalaPad were designed to work with Apple II computers, their history began in 1984. Together with the tablet, the user was offered a special software for drawing . Over time, Koala tablets began to work with other computers (the graphics program for the IBM PC was called PC Design), and soon the market for consumer tablets expanded - new firms entered it.

Since the end of the twentieth century, the rapid development of digital painting or CG art(Computer Graphics Art). The reason for this was, firstly, accessibility. In order to draw on a computer, in addition to the computer itself, it was necessary to purchase only a graphics tablet and software. The second reason for the growth in popularity was the increase in the speed of the artist's work. Graphic programs offer a large number of tools, not to mention a rich palette of colors. It is enough for a modern artist to make two clicks with the mouse to select desired color– no need to buy and mix paints. And do not forget about the biggest plus of the computer - any erroneous action in the program can be easily undone. IN digital drawing it is easier to make changes, and you can send it to the destination immediately upon completion - there is no need to wait for the paint to dry and transfer the canvas to digital media.

The growing popularity of technology has allowed the development of the corresponding tools - in the arsenal of a modern digital artist, illustrator or graphic designer a huge number of effects, brushes and filters that are simply not available in traditional painting.

At digital painting great prospects, but also great limitations. Since the 18th century, there has been practically no technical development in traditional art, modern artists create with almost the same set of tools as their colleagues a hundred years ago: canvas, brushes, oil ... But at the same time, the resolution and pixel density of displays increase every year, the quality of color reproduction improves, computing power is growing, software is developing - all this is a determining factor for the development of digital drawing. This is on the one hand. On the other hand, the resolution of modern monitors is still far from the resolution of the human eye, the monitor is not capable of displaying such a number of details and details that a live observation of the same size section of a classical painting canvas can provide.

Another modern problem with digital painting is simply the lack of appropriate educational institutions. digital artist today it is, in fact, self-taught. Most of the well-known digital artists graduated from educational institutions in traditional painting and only then independently switched to digital art.

Although there are very few digital painting tutorials, there is a wide range of drawing tablets on the market. Models of companies are popular in Russia Genius And . The cheapest model costs a little more than a thousand rubles, but a professional tool with a large diagonal and functionality can cost 200 thousand rubles.
