VECTOR PAINTING Vector painting is an artistic technique where the digital artist creates images us- ing volumes of vectors—mathematical- ly defined points. Unlike traditional ras- ter-based painting, which relies on pixels, vector painting allows for precise, scalable, and high-quality artwork. Vector artists construct shapes, lines, and curves using mathematical equations. These vectors are coordinates that define the posi- tion and direction of each element. Because they are based on math, vectors remain sharp and clear regardless of the image’s size or resolution.The computer handles the math. The artist uses elegant tools designed for visual thinkers. One of the key advantages of vector paint- ing is its scalability. Since vectors are reso- lution-independent, the artwork can be re- sized without losing quality. Whether you’re creating a small icon or a large billboard, vector-based images maintain their clarity. Vector graphics produce clean, precise lines and shapes. It’s commonly used for logos, il- lustrations, technical drawings, and graphic design. The absence of pixelation ensures a professional finish. The iPad Pro, equipped with powerful drawing tools and apps, provides an ideal platform for vector artists. Artists can cre- ate and manipulate vectors effortlessly with the freedom to work directly on the screen. A stylus pen enhances the creative process, allowing for a unified flow. It is an elegant drawing setup. Vector painting does not work well with a desktop computer and a mouse. You need a tablet and digital pen to achieve the relaxed freedom required to cre- ate hundreds of shapes that form a vector painting. In summary, vector painting combines mathematical precision with artistic ex- pression, resulting in visually striking and infinitely scalable professional artwork.
