If you are a traditional media artist looking to try out the exciting digital medium, this is the definitive guide for you.

-Methods I employ to paint expressively.

Very useful to change from a traditional way of painting / drawing, to this new medium, “digital drawing and painting”. Giving new tools and clues of how to use this app. Recommend to learn a traditional way of art. If you want to learn to produce polished and stylish pictures, this book doesn’t suits you.
