Description

ArtRage Vitae is our Premium Natural Painting application for mobile devices!

Get creative on your digital canvas with realistic color blending, mixing oil paint, 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 Vitae isn't just about color: It knows how much paint you've used so you can mix it and spread it on a textured 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 Vitae is a live simulation of the properties of real artistic media that lets you get creative with colors and textures using tools you already know how to use!

ArtRage Vitae takes full advantage of the Apple Pencil support for pressure & tilt, and 3D touch on your iPhone when available.

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 effects, layer blend modes, and layer contents can be scaled moved and rotated independently.

Import images, converting them to oil paint for mixing and blending 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.

Share your paintings on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Creative Cloud, Dropbox, DeviantArt or any other sharing app on your device.

Don’t waste your money

ArtRage has long been a favourite app of mine, but the old app was dated and badly in need of an upgrade to take advantage of today’s advanced devices. This is not that upgrade. Sure you get a bigger canvas (still tiny in comparison to other apps) and a few of the tools have an extra slider or two, but there is only one new tool (a cloner I have no use for), the ability to increase the brush size to 500 (although you have to type this in yourself, no convenient slider here) and that’s about it. An absolute and utter disappointment. They haven’t even bothered to implement the by now practically industry standard two tap undo. It’s just the same old clunky app complete with antiquated interface and gallery. I think it’s scandalous the developer chose to release this as a separate app at full cost and I don’t think I’ll buy from them again. There are several other, much more advanced, “traditional” painting apps out there that are worth your money. Oh and I know it’s “new”, but it’s buggy, really, really buggy, especially when you increase the brush sizes above 100%. All in all a poor show....

Lots of potential

Sure, there is not a massive difference between this and the old app, but there are slight improvements if the artists looks for them. Love the depth slider and the real oil effect it creates. Like all such art apps, we need to experiment and explore. Only one criticism....not enough oil brush variety...great app though Well done Artrage team.

Wonderful painting experience with a Pencil

I’ve been a user of ArtRage on the desktop for years so as soon as I got an iPad Pro, I was keen to try the mobile version too.

I was given pause by the very negative reviews suggesting that there was a large amount of lag and that there was no slider to set the brush sizes. I’m happy to report that both of these issues weren’t evident during my painting experience this morning.

I’m using the latest 2021 M1 iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil (v2) and there was very little lag when using the brush tools (certainly no more than when I’ve used ArtRage on my MacBook). Using the roller produced a little lag but again, no more than I’ve experienced on the desktop version.

Accessing the brush slider is simple - hold the Pencil on the bottom left corner (where the % brush size indicator is) and drag inwards and a quarter-circle brush size selector will appear.

I’m really looking forward to getting creative with this version of one of my favourite creative tools.

If I find that in use, lag becomes apparent or other issues arise, I will amend this review accordingly but for now, I’m really impressed.
