In essence you use these tools to paint a stroke and the underlying element controls the opacity of the stroke. These are truly impressive and bring a naturally chaotic and random nature to what could be a sterile painting experience. Using predefined elements to control attributes of a tool feels like the big new approach by Corel as their new dab stencil tools follow a similar route. Comic artists would be better off using pen and ink tools, if they are looking to emulate real-world comic inker’s work.įor a cleaner GUI use palette drawers, which let you fold down multiple menus with a single click This is another tool that builds on Painter’s strengths at replicating (and sometimes even improving) traditional media applications.Ĭorel seem to feel this is a good tool for manga art and for inking comic pieces and, while it may be good for that, it’s probably best saved for painting and enhancing colour and light. These work in a similar fashion to the traditional counterparts, where each stroke lays down a thin, translucent layer, which can be built up layer by layer, to create some rich and deep looking results.
Sticking with the overpainting theme, Corel Painter 2017 has the addition of glazing brushes too. It has to be said that some of the preset textures will become repetitive quite quickly, however you can define your own, so not too much of a problem. Of course, this is integrated tightly with the rest of Painter’s tools and the image is a standard painter document, so for quickly building up a finished piece of art using ZBrush as tool for posing and sculpting detail, this is a fantastic workflow. If you want controllable variation try the new dab stencil brushes
