As I painted my last draft with Adobe Photoshop, I had to try the software that was included with my graph tablet (Wacom Bamboo Fun Medium): Art Rage 2, a painting software. For a beginner like me it’s easier to get an acceptable result within a short time, than in Photoshop. There are at least (Starter version = Freeware, also for Mac) 8 tools like a brush (Pinsel), a pencil (Bleistift), a scraper (Spachtel/Schaber), a marker (Filzstift) and so on. With them it’s much easier to colourise the paintings. I really like the feature that the paint is not drying fast, so it’s like painting it manually. You can also use different layers like in Photoshop.

So I can really recommend testing the software!

(it took about 50 minutes to learn the ropes and paint this – but I didn’t want to finalise it today)
