Import images, converting them to oil for smearing or as Reference Images pinned to the canvas as a visual guide. ArtRage supports a wide range of Layer Blend Modes, and layer contents can be scaled moved and rotated independently. Add Layers to your painting and work on individual elements without damaging others. ![]() Tools apply texture as well as color, and blend under the brush. 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. Real world painting tools: Oils, Watercolors, Paint Rollers, Pencils, Crayons and more. 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. It even knows about the roughness of your paper so your pencils can be used for soft shading. It knows how wet your paint is so you can blend it with other paints. Now you can!

I want to love this app, as it’s a delight to draw with. There are no guides or rulers that I can see, but then, there’s no helpful introduction to the features and hidden tool settings. The menus get in the way, and things pop up that you have no idea how to turn off. The lack of grid functionality and tap assignment means you can’t “undo” with two fingers or even suggest it. ![]() But the UI is clunky, and that’s being generous. The color picker is easy to use and intuitive, which is more than I can say for most. ![]() ArtRage has so much potential as an iOS app, and given that they charge a decent little fee for it, I can’t for the life of me figure out why they don’t develop it into a true art app.The tools are surprisingly responsive and versatile, and the pencil tool is one of the best I’ve used-and I’ve used ALL the art apps.
