DIGITAL PHOTO DRAWING: EXPLORING THE SYNERGY OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND ILLUSTRATION

Abstract [English]

The integration of photography and digital drawing represents a dynamic convergence of various styles and themes. The relationship between photography and illustration has evolved over time, especially with the advent of digital technology. The combination of the two has opened up new possibilities for creative thinking, allowing artists to explore and express their ideas in innovative ways. This blend explores the harmony between capturing real-world movement through a camera lens and enhancing those images through digital drawing techniques. This allows for the addition of imaginative elements, transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary.

This paper talks about the evolution of the new art form digital photo drawing (a combination of photography and illustration) and how it is providing a unique opportunity for artists and advertisers to communicate their creative thinking. The article further contrasts digital photo drawing with other related art forms to develop a better understanding of its unique characteristics, techniques, and objectives. It also sheds light on the Indian artists and advertisers practising this art form.
