From the video
Answers: How do I control edges in digital painting?
- edge control in digital painting
- hard, firm, soft, and lost edges
- edge variety and focal points
- edge and value contrast
- photostudies and master studies
What it concludes
- Hard edges have a razor-sharp delineation between shapes and tend to capture the eye first, making them effective for focal points.
- Lost edges lose the delineation between shapes, allowing multiple shapes to merge into the appearance of one shape.
- High value contrast should be coupled with hard edges because both are very noticeable to the eye.
- Low value contrast lends itself more readily to being softened, allowing edges to be lost or softened easily.
- Well-placed areas of hard or firm edges are sufficient to establish focus, while soft and lost edges add variety and interest.
