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.

Dude...no

So my mom made me download for no reason and it was very weird. So I tried to draw lines but it wouldn’t let me and I made sure it was at 100 opacity and I made sure it was black color but it wouldn’t draw. Also when I zoom in I can’t zoom out for some reason and it keeps crashing. Pls upgrade it has a lot of potential. Also add more tools/brushes.

Save the old one please?

There is another, older version of this app, that holds many drawings of mine. It doesn’t work with iOS 14. Can it be refurbished for the new OS, at least enough for me to export my old doodles? It doesn’t need more functionality than an “export all” button.

Immediately obsolete 😭

I've been an Artrage user since v1 on desktop Mac, way, waaay back. After reluctantly retiring my beloved Wacom in favour of the iPad ecosystem; Artrage was a natural purchase. Sadly, comparing it to its peers, what once was cutting edge media simulation feels quaint, like so much CG from the nineties; there are stunning apps out there doing incredible real media simulation. What Artrage pioneered with innovative user interface that delivered an accessible digital painting experience (in the face of behemoths like Corel Painter), also feel old fashioned and even clumsy, again compared to other apps. Some of the tools or code appear ill matched to retina display; brushes strokes and other tools produc visibly pixelated results; as though it would probably look right on an old 72ppi monitor. But the real insult added to injury is that literally three days after my purchase, this app is obsoleted when the developers released a whole new, separate Artrage for iOS, rather than update this one. How very unlucky for me, and very sad that I just cannot recommend this version. That's coming from a longtime fan 😭

Fantastic

Unfortunately, it seems the devs have abandoned this app, - no update in two years. The app Apple is pushing is better in some areas and still behind this old dog in other areas. I have been using this on my iPad for years. Having tried most of the competition this is still my favorite. Has features the app Apple is pushing still lacks.

Please Don't Abandon Artrage

Updated Review---------- It sure would be nice if the developer would update this application and possibly add great new features, tools and brushes please. Artrage, hasn't been updated in two years the App Store page for this app states, that's not good. Have you abandoned this application and all us users who gave you our hard earned money? Again, please update this app with new features, tools and brushes. I will be very grateful and thankful if you do so. Thanks and God bless. Original Review---------- I have had issues with ArtRage not functioning properly on my devices in the past, both my iPhones and iPads. But, I have to say that the app works brilliantly now for me. And I just want to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to the developers for all of the hard work, time and effort that they no doubt have put into making this app work so well. Everything just works and functions so smoothly for me, the painting engine runs beautifully I think, the options for brushes and tools all work well, just everything in my opinion is perfect as I said. I can now add this app again to my daily programs that I use for painting. Which makes me so happy because I always adored ArtRage on my Mac desktop computers and now I can enjoy it close to the same on my mobile devices. Though, if I'm being honest, I do wish that the mobile version had more tools similar to the desktop computer application. I know it's probably not easy at all to try and make them identical. But, I feel it's been a super long time since any new tools or brushes were added to these mobile versions of ArtRage. I would absolutely love it and appreciate it if the developers would please add more brushes and tools to these mobile versions. I've been using the same brushes for so long and I really would love it if we could have some new ones please. And also I think it would be great if we could download presets, like official and user ones for that one tool like you can on the desktop version of ArtRage please. Thank you if you'll consider that and thanks again for making this app work so well and all of the hard work I'm sure you put into it and God bless.

I read some negative comments about this App

I should have paid attention to the negative reviews. Instead I listened to a very experienced man who writes tutorials. He told me he thought the issues with the App were resolved by the design team. I bought the App, followed a tutorial and could not get the image to save properly. After trying unsuccessfully to save the image the App totally crashed. I sent emails to the developers twice and have heard nothing in response. Save your money, there are lots of other Apps out there.

So much lag!

With so many free painting apps, this has to be better. Instead it has so much lag and completely nullifies the “natural feel”. I have used this in PC so know it’s features. This was my 1st app installed and was excited but its useless. No wonder they don’t offer a trial coz, no one would buy it if they try

This update adds gallery file sorting options and the ability to recreate thumbnails for paintings that have lost them. Both options are available in from the menu at the top of the gallery. We've also made some changes to file naming and storage to fix some reported problems, added an indicator to the canvas so that you know which way is 'up' when you create it, and made some improvements to scripting support.

As always, if you have any problems please contact us via our support link and we'll be happy to look in to it and help out!
