{{Short description|Style of rendering}} [[File:Toon Shader.jpg|thumb|A normal shader (left) and an NPR shader using [[cel-shading]] (right)]] '''Non-photorealistic rendering''' ('''NPR''') is an area of [[computer graphics]] that focuses on enabling a wide variety of expressive [[style (visual arts)|style]]s for digital art, in contrast to traditional [[computer graphics]], which focuses on [[photorealism]]. NPR is inspired by other artistic modes such as [[painting]], [[drawing]], [[technical illustration]], and [[animated cartoons]]. NPR has appeared in [[Film|movies]] and [[video game]]s in the form of [[cel shading|cel-shaded animation]] (also known as "[[cartoon|toon]]" shading) as well as in [[scientific visualization]], [[architectural illustration]] and [[experimental animation]].{{citation needed|date=September 2021}}
