"A Survey on Digital Painting Technology"

Mr. Siu Hang Chu


Abstract:

Many artists have adopted digital painting due to the many possibilities
it offers that are not matched by conventional media. These include the
ability to undo, mix different simulated media, save the artwork at
different stages, and the readiness for digital publishing. As an art
tool, the computer also bears great potential in the development of new
art forms and techniques simply not possible in the real world.

This paper presents a review of the development of digital painting
technology, with an emphasis on the state-of-the-art natural media
simulation techniques. Both commercial software packages and research
efforts are discussed. A brief account of hardware input devices is also
included. This survey is concluded with an outlook on the future
development of digital painting.
