Happily the other two contenders are free anyway, Krita and Howler-8 particularly for Howler's particle brushes (downside = no layers), and Krita's nice brush stabiliser (Krita is a Gimp based programme and 10 years into development) but for pure painting Art Rage is the one to buy. I'm no artist, and not familiar with art programmes, so I tried everything i could get my hands on. Plus a huge community on the official site and plenty of free resources (brushes etc).If that isn't enough, you can import Photoshop brushes although I have not yet tried this yet. Supports photoshop images, multiple layers, tracing (with or without auto colour), a full and detailed manual, and its so easy to use. Definitely best with graphics tablets rather than a mouse. My pictures might still be rubbish, but my art-materials bill is zero. It is the closest to real painting I've found in any art package. Worked out of the box with my Huion tablet. Art Rage was recommended to me by a professional artist who works with both digital and conventional mediums I don't regret this purchase one bit. and dont buy the android version becuase they butchered it down from this version that worked awesome on android then they took features away to keep it dumbed down from the normal program. The resolution of the brush engine is still old, while you can increse the size of the image, and the overall dpi all you want to but the brushes themselves will still draw in like a 800圆00 grid resolution revealing stairstepped edges in most all brush strokes, and developers added a filter to disguise it, becuase its outdated software reperpoused to utilize a 64 bit enviorment. The icons for the brushes dont do the actual effects of the brushstrokes. ArtRage 5 includes a full range of painting tools, 64 bit support, PSD compatibility, Symmetry, Grids, a customizable interface, and far more. but try to mask an area and use a brush larger than the stencilit will paint outside the stencil's border like in real life, and no setting to block surrounding areas off. ArtRage 5 was released in February 2017, replacing ArtRage 4.5. Good luck using the stencils that basically work like masks but are actual plastic stencils like from a ruler set IRL. water color isnt horrible, but its flooding brush stokes hard to control flow.ĭigital inking is probably the programs stronger feature, slings out real ink effects quite nicley! however the low resolution requires you to throw a gassian blur over it to hide the stair stepping. The impasto effects of real life paint is not well laid out well in digital enviorments and is repititious in characteristics seen in individual brush stroke, also it leaving a derpy goopy look to your paintings. Textured pallets are a default and you have to know to switch to a cell paper to have no simulated paper grain, like drawing over a low res texture bumpy road and makes everything look terrible. but is quite nice if your using a direct draw ddisplay like cintique or XP pen.
