ArtRage - Free drawing program used to create stylish paintings on your computer

Posted on July 26, 2007 at 12:54 pm

ArtRage is a painting program that lets you create some pretty stylish and cool looking paintings on your computer. ArtRage has a set of tools that tries to mimic real world artist tools and techniques, such as oils, pencils, airbrushes, chalk, glitter, rollers, tubes, markers, etc. For example, when you use the paint brush, the ends will smear as they would in real life. If you paint two colors over each other, they will blend rather than simply hide one another.

Along with the above listed painting tools, it has stencils and rulers, metallics,  and tracing images. Using metallics, you can paint in blendable gold and silver paints, fancy glitters, and metal finishes.

With tracing images (for those of us who can’t draw!), you can import a picture and then convert it into a painting!

There is a free version that only has some of the tools activated, but the full version is only $25, so not bad. The advanced features include support of layers, Adobe PSD files with layers, tablet support, and multi-monitor support. Here are a few examples of what’s been done with the software:

Have fun with it!
