Tool settings let you adjust the wetness of the paint, as well as how quickly the paint thins and how much paint is on your brush. Draw a stroke of a different color across your current stroke and the paint blends together, the colors combining as they would on a real canvas. The application also takes into account the wetness of the paint and the grain of the canvas you’ve chosen, so in the case of the watercolor brush, the paint bleeds into contours of the canvas. Each tool has been carefully crafted to match its real-world counterpart for example, a stroke with the watercolor brush is lighter in the middle and richer at the edges. Two versions of the application are available: ArtRage Studio Pro ($80, reviewed here) and ArtRage Studio ($40), a pared-down variant that lacks a number of advanced brush and tool controls.ĪrtRage 3’s toolset includes items such as oil and watercolor paint brushes, ink and felt pens, and pencil, crayon, and charcoal. Capture also came with Autodesk's Sketchbook which from what I can tell is better suited to technical drawing - more of a CAD program than an art program, although from some of the samples I guess you can create some awsome art in Sketchbook Express too.A stroke of paint can be much more than a simple swatch of color: it can have a wet gloss, a rippled surface, and seep into the canvas below it. Ambient Design brings these subtleties to ArtRage 3.0.5, a painting app that mimics the nuances of natural media such as ink, charcoal, and paint. I think my time will be better spent learning to use Inkscape, GIMP and Elements. Still trying to figure them out, but they look like children's programs. I found several graphic arts programs in the WIndows 8 app store. I have a home built PC I put together last fall and am running both Windows 7 and Winodws 8 on my new rig. I do have Adobe Elements and I didn't even realize it can be used to create images from scratch as well as editing photographs. From what I can see I can see at first glance Inkscape offers pretty much the same features, and I like the price. I debated getting the "Splash" edition of the Bamboo tablet because it came with Artrage3.
But I had fun painting back then and think maybe this much cleaner digital medium could reignite some of that artistic joy I had then, and without the mess or cost of oils and canvas, to say nothing of the smell of turpentine.
Way back in my college days I did dabble in oils and painted a few pictures, even sold a couple, so I guess technically I'm a professional - but I would use that word very loosely - and the last painting I sold was oh about three decades ago. I can see how this could become lots of fun. I'm afraid my 'art' is at the preschool finger-painting stage and I'm just starting to get the hang of using the tablet to navigate and draw.
Hello, I just bought a Wacom Capture tablet and am just getting started in this graphic arts hobby.
