Cool Digital Painting: 40+ Tuts

Do you know many writers that use a typewriter or even a pen? I think your answer would be “No”, because it’s kinda retrograde. And imagine, some oddballs use a goose feather (I don’t think they have much success in writing, but anyway). So, what’s the problem with the painting art? There are wonderful tablets for painting, many programs and tools. So why do some artists still use oldschool methods? Sure, I don’t deny some of them are pertinent – but still they can ease their work a lot with the help of modern technologies. Digital painting is definitely cool.

In order to demonstrate what gorgeous things can be painted digitally, I’ll show 44 examples. They contain different people and fantasy or sci-fi humanoid characters, non-human creatures, parts of body, manifestations of nature, effects. But the samples are not just to watch (and enjoy) – all of them provide with the detailed digital painting tutorials for creating each of those pictures, in case you would like to try yourself in this field (and I wish you good luck if it’s so).

I’m not a great fan of cyberpunk concept, but the world is keeping that certain direction of total connectedness. And of course there should be someone, who can write the history, who would describe and analyze and enter in the record all notable changes and tendencies on the web. Hello, it’s me.
