“Realism is paramount for any artist involved in the entertainment industry,” said Rob MacDonald, Product Manager for Corel Painter. “Painter’s comprehensive toolset and superior performance give entertainment artists, commercial designers and photographers the ability to control the smallest details of their imagery, whether they are creating a dazzling shield for a superhero or the sinister mask of a frightening villain. With Painter X, artists can let their imaginations guide them as they create the exciting characters that inspire and entertain all of us.”
