I find ArtRage to have the simplest, least cluttered interface, and although it is limited in features, it may be preferable for people who just want to draw/paint, or for younger users. However, there is a much less expensive ($25) program called ArtRage, with which an artist can get fantastic results. Those two, along with Illustrator (for vector graphics.let me know if you need an explanation of that), are the three applications my girlfriend and I use to create 2D artwork. How old is your daughter, and how familiar is she with computers? Generally, I recommend Painter over Photoshop for anything that involves emulation of natural media, and Photoshop for almost everything else. Feel free to contact me, if you have more specific questions.įirst off, that is very impressive work. I always try to concentrate on doing my work with photoshop, but the ease of use always brings me back to this app. For 199$ you get a very nice piece of software. Its wacom support is a bit limited, but it supports pen pressure and dynamic brush size and stuff. It lacks the fancy stuff like simulated painting surfaces, even effect filters are not implemented, but it comes with customizable brushes and a fullscreen canvas. Its features are very limited but leaves the artist all the freedom he wants. Its very fast to learn (i guess 2 or 3 hours and you know all it can do) and it has an interface wich is simply second to none in ergonomic view. If you want something really fast and intuitive to paint or sketch, with no technical stuff or photo editing i can point you to Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. I personally dont like the interface, but thats a very subjective point and depends on the user. But when it comes to anything else but painting, drawing, sketching, its not so well suited.
Its (besides maxon´s bodypaint) the only graphic app that supports the wacom art-pen to its full extend.
Painter also has a better support for wacom features. painting with brush structure, simulated wet paint and so on. Painter, wich i have used also, is great when you want to copy natural painting styles, f.e.
*Wacom ID and product registration required.I can strongly recommend photoshop, because it suits all needs when it comes to sketching while giving you all the freedom to manipulate images in the most professional manner.
