Richly Realistic Traditional Media

ArtRage has always been well known for traditional media, and that hasn’t changed in ArtRage 5. The Watercolor tool still allows you perfect control over your art, and the Oils let you blend and mix as realistically as ever, but now it comes with a very natural pencil, flexible custom brush editing, and faster performance!

Traditional Canvas Textures

ArtRage’s brushes interact with your canvas as you draw. Customize your paper to get exactly the effect you want, whether that’s a smooth digital background, fine sketch paper, rough canvas, or a custom pattern of your own creation. Skim the bumps of your canvas with the pencil, watch the watercolors spread around cracks and crevices, scumble with oils and turn up the texture effects with your custom digital brushes.

Ideal Software for Traditional Artists

Whether you can’t afford the materials, have run out of space in your sketchbook, break all your pencil leads, keep smudging your inks, don’t want to wait while paint dries, the cats keep eating your pastels, or you are allergic to solvents, you can transfer your traditional skills over to digital and keep working with all the same familiar tools. If you would like to learn a new painting medium, then ArtRage is also a low cost, low pressure way to familiarize yourself with paint and pencils, or create quick studies before attempting a complicated project.

Paint with incredibly realistic, textural, oils.

Use custom digital brushes to create stunning digital art.

Designed for Digital Artists Too!

If you aren’t into real media, but are looking for something closer to Photoshop, then ArtRage 5 still has plenty to offer you. The latest edition lets you design custom brushes, composition tools, masking, adjustable selection tools, Pattern and Gradient Fill, filters, an airbrush, customizable stylus properties, automatic line smoothing, highly controlled color picking, and the most intelligent flood fill around.

Flexible Graphic Design Tools

Plan out your composition using grids, guides and perspective, and easily mask areas and draw custom shapes with Stencils. Use the perspective transform option to map your drawings to one or two point perspective in perfect scale and draw more easily with the snap to line and symmetry functions.

Layer Editing

Tweak your images using filters, layer effects, layer blend modes. Use Photoshop standard blend modes like Multiply and Screen as you work, and add editable glow, emboss and drop shadow effects to individual layers. You can even emboss your image using custom textures. Clean up your scanned sketches to remove dirty white paper so you can color the lines with the Remove Color Matte and distort your images using Warp (liquify). You can add blur or noise, or easily adjust the colors and contrast of a layer. If you need to repaint a layer, use the Lock Transparency and other selection and lock options to control your changes.

Multiple Platform Support

ArtRage comes in both desktop and mobile editions, with fully compatible file formats which will preserve paint data and layers between different versions of ArtRage. This means that you can paint a field study on your iPad Pro and then continue it with the same tools on the desktop. Or sketch ideas on the train on your Android phone, and develop it properly when you get to a more powerful computer. You can also easily switch between macOS and Windows without any problems.

Record Your Paintings

ArtRage offers script recording, which lets you record the entire painting process and play it back later in ArtRage 5. This is extremely useful for screen recording sessions, studying your painting process, and recreating your smaller mobile paintings at a much larger size. A script will repaint every stroke at your chosen size, so you won’t lose painting quality by resizing your image.
