Description

The most advanced simulation of real paint on iOS! Get creative on a digital canvas with smearing, blending oils, delicate watercolor, and much more! Ever wanted to try painting your masterpiece but were put off by the mess and expense? Now you can!
ArtRage isn't just about color: It knows how much paint you've used so you can smear it around to spread it over the canvas. It knows how wet your paint is so you can blend it with other paints. It even knows about the roughness of your paper so your pencils can be used for soft shading.
It's not just a special effect either - ArtRage is a live simulation of the properties of real artistic media that lets you can get creative with colors and textures using tools you already know how to use!
ArtRage takes full advantage of the features of your device like larger canvases on iPad Pro, Apple Pencil support for pressure & tilt, and 3D touch on your iPhone.

Features:
Real world painting tools: Oils, Watercolors, Paint Rollers, Pencils, Crayons and more. Each tool has a range of familiar properties such as how much thinner is applied to the paint, or how soft a pencil tip is. Tools apply texture as well as color, and blend under the brush.
Add Layers to your painting and work on individual elements without damaging others. ArtRage supports a wide range of Layer Blend Modes, and layer contents can be scaled moved and rotated independently.
Import images, converting them to oil for smearing or as Reference Images pinned to the canvas as a visual guide. Load photos as Tracing Images which are overlaid on the canvas, and have ArtRage select colors automatically as you paint.
The interface has been designed to maximize your creative space without hiding away critical functions such as tool and color selection. As you paint, it gets out of the way so that you don’t have to stop and manually adjust panels.
Record your paintings! The ArtRage Script system lets you record strokes while you paint for playback in desktop versions of the product at higher resolution.
Import and Export using external services such as Dropbox, and iCloud Drive. Share your images on Facebook, Twitter, and any other sharing app on your device.

ArtRage Reviews

Worst art app ever

This is by far the worst art app I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. It deletes layers and does not properly save progress. Today it deleted three hours of continually saved progress and 4 different layers that were created days ago. This is completely unacceptable for a paid app. Spend your money elsewhere.

No more updates to buggy app

I first bought ArtRage for the desktop many years ago. Fast forward to the app on the iPad. Not the same. Buggy - example, the Roller tool. The last three of the four presets respond the same when using the Apple Pencil. When using a finger, however, they behave as expected. And no stencils? Really? This combined with the fact that the developers have now brought out a new version of AR (instead of fixing the old one) means that this app is essentially dead and will never be updated. Sorry, but you’ll get no more money out of me.

Palm rejection is a little shorty

As an artist this is the best app still, after trying everything out there. Buuuut the palm rejection need some work and this app needs lots of TLC in comparison to the desktop app which is incredible. Please update mobile version for larger canvases stencils and fix the palm rejection!!!!?? Please.

Stencils

Where are the stencils? Did you added those?

This is the closest you can get to drawing on a real sheet or paper on the iPad!

This is the closest you can get to drawing on a real sheet or paper on the iPad! At first sight, a lot of people tought it wasn't digital. I Love this app, it's different of Procreate and sketchbook but it's its own beast!

Good but overdue for an update

Enjoyed using it for a long time. Very nice behaviour on blending and laying down paint. Pencil not as satisfying as other apps but passable. Currently the app is quite laggy and prolly doesn’t take advantage of the newer iOS. Time to move on. Please update and I’ll come back. Rarely used now. Procreate and ClipStudio now my favs.

Too slow for 2019

There is no reason why in 2019, on the latest iPad Pro that a program like this should have such a slow interface. The lag is unbearable. Great program, but bogged down by a very poor UI / UX.

Easy to use

I have tried many “paint “ and “photo” apps but this one is one of the best. The help is great, tutorials and clear instructions on how to use the app. Definitely recommend!

Good but...

I like the app but I want to size the brushes way bigger then what it is, I personally used SketchClub and i wanted to try a different app which I came to this, I want to size the brushes way bigger

Most realistic

I tried a number of higher rated products, that have more features, but none came close. From my tests, and looking at samples created online, nothing else really looks as close to real watercolours and oils, and that is what I was looking for. You have to create your own palette, which is a pain - I just downloaded a picture of a palette from Winsor and Newton and with the"tap to hold sample color" feature enabled I created one. Even with some limitations, I had to rate this product as 5 stars.
