Digital painting-SIH sketch

Pencil, Paper 05/2003

After a brutal college entrance examination, I suppressed my body and mind for a long time, and my creative desire can finally be released. A lot of golden sunshine, majestic and upright castles, colorful clouds, a sense of brilliance and success, express the inner joy.

 

Prior to this, Liu Yaming had always relied on traditional painting techniques and did not trust the expressive power of computer graphics tools. However, in the process of creating “the joy of success”, Liu Yaming gradually felt the unique charm of computer graphics technology, and the new technology really opened up a broader field for artistic expression.

DIGITAL PAINTING

In 1945, the world's first electronic computer was released. By the 1980s, the popularity of PC was widespread, and computers had penetrated into every corner of life. Computer graphics are now a very important means of media, and a large number of high-quality, replicable, inexpensive images have created this "image era."

 

When is the computer popularized in China, there is no specific reliable information to follow. I only remember that in 1996, I first came into contact with the computer and painted a lotus flower using CorelDRAW. At that time, the system used was DOS, the memory was only 1 M, and the 1.44 megabyte floppy disk was used to access the data. It is very inconvenient to use the computer, but it is exciting. This is a brand-new tool with unlimited possibilities.

 

Compared with hand-painting and printing, digital painting is faster and more convenient, can be copied in a large amount and is easy to spread. The emergence of the Internet has made digital graphics more widely used. Just a few years ago, many artists were still arguing whether digital painting was a painting, and today cross-media art is already a fashion. How fast is the development speed of this era, it has made us too late to consider right or wrong.

Digital painting-SIH

Since it was the first time to use PhotoShop, this painting took me tow weeks. It can be said that this is expressed in the same concept in different media, and the specific steps seem to have nothing to do with the traditional painting steps.

 

In the production process, I feel that painting on the computer is better and better. It is more convenient to adjust the color, and the color is richer. It can be overlaid without being dirty. The greater advantage is that the drawn picture can be edited with other elements, but Online performance is far less than tools such as pencils.

 

The mouse is different from the brush, the mouse does not have the paint feeling of the brush, the picture is not fine enough, and the depth is narrow. In summary, computer painting has to go beyond traditional painting, and software and hardware have yet to be developed.

1945年世界上第一台电子计算机诞生,到1980年代微型电脑大量普及, 计算机已经渗透到生活里的每一个角落。计算机图像在现在更是非常重要的传 媒手段,大量高品质可复制的廉价图像造就了这个“图像时代”。

 

电脑在中国是何时普及的,还没有具体可靠的资料可循,只记得在1996年 左右,我第一次接触到电脑,使用CorelDRAW画了一朵荷花。那时候使用的 系统是DOS,内存只有1兆,还用1.44兆的软盘存取资料,使用电脑很不方 便,但却让人兴奋,这是一种崭新的工具,有无限的可能。

 

数字绘画比较手绘和印刷来说,制作速度更快、更便捷,可大量复制易于 传播,互联网的出现让数字图形的用途更加广泛。就在几年前,很多艺术家还 在争论数字绘画是不是绘画,而今天跨媒体艺术已经是一种时尚。这个时代发 展速度是多么的快,已经让我们来不及去考虑对错。
