Well here's a new one, especially for me.

This is the first time I have tried to do a digital painting. I have always been put off by the amount of work it required with carefully choosing and configuring brushes, to even just the colour choices (Digital painting is by no means comparable to real canvas and paint!).

ArtRage

This little piece of software is basically what pushed me to whip out Ye Olde Wacom Intuos. I have been longing to use it again since cleaning out my room a little and dreading the mess caused by Acrylic/Oil Paint and all the nuances that come along with it! Don't get me wrong though, it's still and probably will always be my preferred medium!

ArtRage is amazing at what it does, imitating real paint, and being a simple piece of software that allows you to do what you need to without breaking the thought process in between (especially with fine tuning a Photoshop brush and choosing colours and blending modes and so on). ArtRage does have a few of the intricacies but it works well just out the box as a simple digital painting tool.

I hope you guys enjoy it and would love to hear some criticism as well!!

(I always appreciate a push in the right direction)
