Description | : | Digital painting is an art form in which traditional painting techniques such as watercolour, oils, ink and wash, gouache etc. are applied using digital tools by means of a Painting software. These graphics programs offer a virtual canvas and paint and different types of brushes, colours, and other supplies. The artist uses painting techniques to create the digital painting directly on the computer. All digital painting programs try to mimic the use of physical media through various brushes and paint effects. Digital painting thrives mostly in production art. Digital painting software such as Adobe Photoshop and many others, gives an artist's a similar environment to a physical painter: a canvas, painting tools, mixing palettes, and a multitude of Color options. Digital Paintings can also be used to create concept arts. Concept art is a form of visual art used to convey an idea for use in films, video games, animation, comic books, television shows, or other media before it is put into the final product. Concept art usually refers to world-building artwork used to inspire the development of media products, and is not the same as visual development art, though they are often confused. Emphasis should be given to Traditional painting techniques. Keep all source and working files ready at your end for the viewing of the Jury members at any given point of time.

Description | : | A matte painting is a painted representation of a landscape, set, or distant location that allows filmmakers to create the illusion of an environment that is non-existent in real life or would otherwise be too expensive or impossible to build or visit. Historically, matte painters and film technicians have used various techniques to combine a matte-painted image with live-action/3D animation film footage. At its best, depending on the skill levels of the artists and technicians, the effect is "seamless" and creates environments that would otherwise be impossible to film.

AI generated images can be used as reference only with due courtesy.But AI art will not be accepted as a submission and will be disqualified.
