Abstract
Now that you have learned about the vector and raster concepts underlying digital painting software as well as taken a tour of the Inkscape and Painter 2016 user interfaces on your digital painting workstations, I want to cover the core topics of using brushes on your canvas, which is called a page in Inkscape. I’m going to cover this using both your open source (free) software package, as well as using your professional-level software, or your free trial version, so that we can continue to cover more and more advanced topics as this book progresses onwards. I’ll cover topics in both Inkscape and Painter whenever possible; however some digital painting features have not yet been added to Inkscape, so some chapters will only feature Corel Painter.
