After a long day, relaxing on the couch and sipping beer with Kristen. She actually painted the background using the tablet and ArtRage, and I sketched over the top. Teamwork.

Sunday, November 1st, 2009
My experience with ArtRage is still in the rudimentary stages, so I thought I’d expand my horizons a little with this program. Using the painterly style inherent in the software, you can achieve some very rich textures. It’s a little strange translating my usual vector heavy style into an actual “traditional” medium, but pretty fun.
This took about the same time it would have in Illustrator, about 40 minutes and another 10 in Photoshop getting the color and contrast more to my liking.
All in all, a really cool, cheap program that I’ve barely put a dent in as far as capabilities. I made it for IF’s theme of “skinny”, but I’ve titled it “Still Life With Emaciated Man”.
ArtRage Painting – “Carried”

Art Rage Painting – “Sinew”
Saturday, September 5th, 2009I haven’t used the cheap but well-reviewed painting software Art Rage very much other than a couple experiments that proved my art school painting classes were not well absorbed. It was a fun little experience painting this and getting used to the brush strokes and paint mixing effects. This took a good, solid 2.5 hours today.
Here’s some more information about Art Rage…
