Konnichiwa! As you’ll have seen from our new website backdrop, issue 31 of the Official Corel Painter Magazine is on sale today! You really can’t miss its cover on the newsstands - it’s possibly the brightest and bounciest we’ve ever done, and it’s based on the art of anime, a unique style of animation created in Japan.

Inside the magazine you’ll find a great mix of articles. Our feature this issue is a roundup of some of our favourite art sales websites, so you know which will be the best one for you to use when selling your artwork, prints and more. Our photo-based tutorial is from Greg Banning, who shows us how to create a 50s style vintage pin-up portrait. If it’s brushes you’re after, Celia Yost presents some interesting ways to use the Oil Pastels, while advanced readers can learn how to create motion and high speed effects with hot rod artist Dwayne Vance. Fantasy artists can discover a new pet project in the shape of our Art Study from Amber Hill, which shows how to create magical, mythical beasts from real life references, while in Drawing 101 Sophie Elliot explores the brushwork style of Rembrandt using the casual impasto technique sprezzatura. Angie Jordan is the interviewee in our hot seat this issue and she discusses how she creates caricatures in just six minutes using Corel Painter. All this plus our reviews of the best products to enhance your creative projects, primers to get you up and running in Painter and the latest news and views from the Corel Painter community. And of course you can learn how to paint that bright, bold cover I mentioned in our create the cover tutorial, Paint Like Anime, from rising star Reinaldo Quintero.
