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.)

| Anna Paquin as Rogue |
 |
| Another Anna Paquin as Rogue |
 |
| Anna Paquin and Taylor Kitsch as Rogue and Gambit |
 |
| 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
Brushes: 5 out of 5
Format: 4 out of 5
Score: 90%
