New Pen from Wacom: Chromopen

The new Wacom Chromopen is a great digitizer for choosing colors in your art design.

Point & Shoot Tablet Pen

As digi-painting application technology expands, so does the need for digital artistry tools. The Chromopen concept makes choosing colors for matte-painting a cinch. The user simply points and shoots the Chromopen’s built-in camera to catch colors directly from the scene they’re painting, simultaneously broadening their understanding of color tones. Genius!

Digital Journal Reviews Corel Painter 12

Corel Painter is one of my favorite painting software.

I'm no pro with using it, but it is fun to play around with it.

The level of realism achieved in Corel’s Painter 12 is simply astounding. You can choose how wet your watercolour brush is and what direction the wind is blowing against your paint strokes.

I first started using Corel Painter about seven years ago, when the program was in its eighth version. I loved it. It was unlike any other art-focused software I'd tried. It gave me the freedom to mix all sorts of media I didn't have the money to buy or the space to use, and it generally did a pretty good job of mimicking how the materials work in real life.
