I got a tablet for Christmas.
It’s a Wacom Intuos 4.
Zomg. Best. Present. Ever.
I’ve been using the tablet in Corel Painter 11, which has opened up a world of infinite artistic possibilities. I’ve also, consequently, lost all desire to ever paint realism again with real media – the results using Painter to convert photos to paintings are too good.
Messin' around with new tablet using Corel Painter 11.
More random tablet-messin'.
The result of converting a photo I took at Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, to an "oil painting" using Corel Painter 11 + tablet.
The result of converting a photo of me in Waikiki to a "watercolour painting". In addition to being able to select brush type and medium from a wide variety, in Painter you can also select paper type (i.e., watercolour paper). It still looks too photo-like, but I also did a rush job. Corel Painter will emulate wet and dry paint characteristics, brush angle, and smudging/blending/mixing of media. Tres bon!!
