@xxdonaldqxxx Computers are just allowing people to achieve great results, even though they're not naturally skilled. It means that lots of people can practice their hobby without spending half of their life trying to achieve a certain perfection they won't probably get. Also, don't you think Photoshop and similar software are easy to use, because it's a wrong preconception.
This is still valid when we talk about music. You don't have to be a genius, in order to play in a band.

@xxdonaldqxxx Have to disagree there, take a trip over to cghub.com to see some of the amazing digital artwork being produced on computers, the medium is different, but digital painting is almost exactly the same process as traditional painting, but faster and without the mess.

Just sublime. The master of chiaroscuro.
Caravaggio is quite possibly my favorite artist of all time. When I discovered a magazine about his works buried in my art classroom I fell in love. Not only is the morbid appeal of some of his paintings incredible, so is the contrasts of light and dark. There's so many beautiful, creepy, and amazing aspects of his paintings...And his life was just as interesting.

@SupremeCommander360 In my humble opinion I believe one day soon people without very much talent will be able to use a computer to generate art. Look what is already happening with music. In movies flesh and blood actors are soon going to be replaced with commuter images that look and sound very real. The computer is a great invention but it is causing us to lose part of our humanity along with the human touch. However the computer will never be as good as the real thing.
