MEDIA & MATERIALS
Techniques used in traditional illustration:
pencil, colored pencils, ink, chalks, watercolors, tempera, acrylic colors, airbrush. The immediacy of the stroke and the application of the color brings great artistic value to the image. The support on which it is processed has great weight giving a particular typicality to the overlying design.
With the digital age, computer work is carried out by processing images in raster, vector or 3D format.
The raster image:
In raster graphics the image is seen as a chessboard and each element of the chessboard, called a pixel, is associated with a specific color defined by a combination of three components: RGB.
The vector image:
Radically different from raster graphics, the vector image is described by means of a set of geometric primitives that define points, lines, curves and polygons to which they can be attributed as style, size or homogeneous color or shades.
• It has the very important advantage of being able to be enlarged as desired without loss of print quality.
3D modeling and rendering:
This technique is more related to the production of videos and animations.
however, you can create great effect static images with it.
