terminology

[Anonymous No.3465832]

calling it "digital painting" is a misleading, inappropriate euphemism. neither the result nor the methods used have anything remotely to do with painting.
but this is exemplary for how pretentious and arrogant digital illustrators are.

prove me wrong.

it's not a subjective opinion.
look at the tools used, look at the results. compare the two. tell me what is more appropriate: "drawing" or "painting"?

Is this the autistic guy from the "how old are you drawfags" thread?

[Anonymous No.3466269]

I dont like OP but will admit that it always bugged me when people call using pastels “painting”.

People call it “digital painting” because in many cases it is intended to simulate painting and even involves similar stages like blocking in, underpainting, selecting a color scheme and uktimately aiming for a result that would look similar (enough) if done by literal painting but with a fraction of the mess, spece requirements and photographing stages etc. Lastly many paintings end up as pixels in their final stage anyway in things like illustration, GD and so forth.

But OP (and everyone here) knows this.

nobody calls it "digital painting", is just "painting"

the deprecated way of doing it is called "traditional media painting"

It is digital painting.

[Anonymous No.3467383]

not a single reply that actually tried to argue against the illogical term "digital painting". you look at OP pic and you realize this is bullshit. it has as much to do with painting as looking at wallpapers of Hawaian beaches can replace a holiday there. at best, it's a term that is supposed to help understand where it's coming from, but it is a completely different media.

[Anonymous No.3467390]

>>3467383
you don't need a brush to be 'painting', just paint. and so to be digital painting; digital paint.

[Anonymous No.3467399]

>>3467383

Nonsense. Painting is conceptually about creating the illusion of form and light with masses of value. Digital painting is no different in that regard has the same fundamentals as traditional painting with some minor media specific differences.

>look at the tools used

Just because the device used to interface with the computer LOOKS LIKE a pencil doesn't mean it is a pencil.

Have you ever used a tablet? You can both draw on it and 'paint' on it, where painting is generally using strokes of colour/values instead of linework. It's a shorthand for the method which basically everyone but purposely dense retards and pedantic gatekeeping traditional artists understand. "But you're not using paint!" one might say, you're right, and you're not running a marathon when you run a program, nor are you physically climbing a ladder when you climb a corporate ladder. Even in traditional painting you might say 'use your brush and paint to 'sculpt out' a form', you're not LITERALLY sculpting. The word is being used abstractly to describe a process instead of a specific medium/action, because language is cool like that.

Digital art programs emulate all manner of tools, never identically, but usually closely enough that you can compare apples to apples.

guess what? we already have the notion of digital drawing, but most of the time we use the notion of line art and rendering respectively, the difference is made mainly by the size of your digital brush work
