ARTRAGE demo

So since my CS2 is incompatible with my new macbook, I am on a quest to find the "perfect" painter program.
My first trial (after giving up on Paint) was ArtRage.

This was my first attempt. Emily Browning, on Nylon magazine.

Then I just experimented with different brushes and such.

Then I realized that proportions could be upheld, with the "trace" tool. (although to keep my artistic integrity, I only did the outline, and then just used the reference photo as that. a reference.)

Blond Zooey Deschanel

 And, on the last day of my demo...

Donna Noble, quoting Lauren Cooper, all Catherine Tate

The only problem I had with it was the tagging they thought necessary to the images, and that there was a limit to the size of the painting. Other than that, it had all the functions I found necessary when using an Adobe product, I just couldn't find them until the last few days. Then I wondered why I didn't explore every button in the first place
