MATC pioneers Digital Life Drawing Course using
Wacom Cintiq monitors and the
Corel Painter (natural painting and drawing media emulation) application.
Many new tools, such as pressure sensitive drawing tablets and pressures sensitive tablet displays coupled with software programs like Corel Painter,
Adobe Photoshop,
ArtRage, and
Autodesk Sketchbook Pro are allowing artists to now work digitally in the life drawing studio. See the link below for the full story about the Milwaukee college that has taken a hi-tech approach to life drawing.

With the recent announcement of
Apple's iPad expect to see more digital art created out in the real world as digital artists break free of the chains to their desktop computers. Over the past months there has been an explosion of digital art produced on portable devices such as the
Nintendo DS, Apple iPhone and Apple iPod Touch as developers produce art and painting applications for these platforms. This type of art has gained legitimacy - even gracing the cover of national magazines (see photo of the New Yorker cover by
Jorge Columbo produced on his iPhone using the painting app "Brushes"). This was covered on the excellent art/illustration blog "
Lines and Colors".
