App Wrap: "ArtRage," By: Adam Balkin
- NY1 highlights the coolest and newest apps for your
cell phone or mobile device in the twice-weekly segment “App
Wrap.” NY1’s Adam Balkin filed the following report.
ArtRage
There a dozens of phone or iPad type apps for children that
mimic drawing, painting and doodling, but "ArtRage" is not
one of them. It is designed to be an app that a serious or
even professional artist can pick up, with the hopes that
they can find at their disposal in the virtual studio just
about anything they would find in their real studio.
Virtually every type of drawing tool is available, from
crayons to oil paints, and each tool has its own settings to
offer every type of effect the actual tool does.
It's also extremely realistic. For example, users painting
with oils can layer and mix colors. All the supplies will
interact with each other and the canvas, just as they would
for real. Speaking of the canvas, even that can be changed
to mimic different canvas textures.
A nice touch for seriously inept amateurs is that users can
pop an actual photo in the app and paint over it to create
an easy masterpiece. The app can even choose the appropriate
colors to make it even easier to make.
"ArtRage" is available for the iPad for $6.99.
