A little update on my recent post concerning digital watercolor: According to a fellow poster on CGTalk whose opinion I highly value, even the latest version of Corel Painter doesn’t do watercolors very well at all, confirming my suspicions.
Another poster suggested trying the Japanese software Winshodo… alas, the developer doesn’t offer a demo version and I don’t feel like wasting money on a software of questionable value. If anyone reading this has any experience whatsoever with Winshodo, I’d be happy if you’d drop me a line!
In the meantime I’ve found ways to simulate just about all watercolor effects digitally in Painter, the problem being that my workarounds are horribly awkward and cumbersome to produce. Better than nothing at all.
