Learning exactly how an artist did a picture you like, as if you were in the same room with them is something that OpenCanvas does very well with their online forum. It's very responsive, and has just enough image editing options that I usually use it over Photoshop. I've never had a memory problem working with it. Originally posted by strover:What does openCanvas have to set it apart, and would it be worth getting as well? Most programs don't seem to have a Save Layer option, so I'm thinking that's what you are asking if OpenCanvas has. OpenCanvas 5.5 has four different save options: Save Layer, Save As, Save, and Save Event. Originally posted by Polioliolio:My question is, how does the linework compare to art rage's pen, and can I import lines I do in open canvas into art rage? They don't have a comparable event files gallery though. Usually i choose 2-3 artists i like their masterpieces and i learn from their event files. Go to and look at event files uploaded by users every day, there are really a lot of works you can learn so much from them. Originally posted by 1Garrett2010:What sets OpenCanvas apart are event files you can load in the program, where you can watch every steps an artist made to create an art. They both are not present on Steam though, so see for yourself. Personally, I would advice you to look at PaintTool SAI drawing program which is much more neat and easy to work with, or Manga Studio 5 which is a very powerful drawing software. ArtRage is better if you want paintings that look like real-life drawings. You can achieve a realistic-looking painting but it will take a lot of practice. OpenCanvas tools are pretty weak and are mostly good for digital, non-realistic paintings.
#Artrage 5 or open canvas for free#
I generally use it just for some of its filter effects to help turn sketches into nice lineart.Īll three of the programs I mentioned are available to use for free so if you have an interest check them out. I can't comment much on how easy it is to use or anything though. Its a vector based art program and is likewise a freeware program. Its pretty easy to learn and there are a lot of tutorials available.Īnother program you might enjoy is Inkscape. I use it quite often and find it to be a really fantastic program.
It is essentially a "poor mans" form of photoshop. You might also want to check out the General Image Manipulation Program or GIMP at (This feature was dropped from all the later versions.) For instance you can LAN up with people and do some multi-user painting.
#Artrage 5 or open canvas windows#
Its a lot like an improved version of Paint which comes with Windows although it also has some interesting networking features.
Its not very advanced but its easy to use and interesting. OpenCanvas version 1.1 was the last freeware release before it became a paid product. You should check out the old freeware version of OpenCanvas. While I can't comment on this version of OpenCanvas I can tell you some things you might be interested in.
