Corel Painter 8 is a natural media emulation tool. It allows users to create digital images and artwork that appear to be created with traditional sketch and painting tools. Painter 8 has over 400 brushes and 30 mediums to work with. The user can also create their own brushes. Experiment with life-like media such as Digital Water Color or create sketches from photographs. It's no wonder Painter is considered to be "the ultimate digital sketching tool".
