Photorealism is an artistic style that aims to create paintings that are indistinguishable from photographs. Photorealist artists carefully study their subjects with cameras and create small preliminary works before embarking on large-scale realistic paintings known for their technical precision. Cell shading is a rendering technique used in video games and animation to give the impression of a hand-drawn style by outlining forms and using flat colors rather than smooth gradients. Abstraction moves away from literal representation and prioritizes formal qualities like color and composition over representational accuracy. Exaggeration in games and anime uses over-the-top representations to make the content more fun and fantastical.
