Jokes at another person’s expense, personal attacks, flaming, derailing threads, name-calling, trolling, and generally being an asshole will get you banned. “I like the use of color” or “the legs are too short” are much more helpful than “I like it” or “I don’t like it.”īe civil. ![]() Give constructive feedback, including examples of what works or doesn’t work. Sometimes miscommunication happens, just be cool. We are people from all over the world, of many ages, languages, cultures, and educational backgrounds who all want to improve our art. While I can't comment on this version of OpenCanvas I can tell you some things you might be interested in.Welcome to /r/Learnart, for artists and aspiring artists of all skill levels! You should check out the old freeware version of OpenCanvas. OpenCanvas version 1.1 was the last freeware release before it became a paid product. ![]() Its not very advanced but its easy to use and interesting. Its a lot like an improved version of Paint which comes with Windows although it also has some interesting networking features. You might also want to check out the General Image Manipulation Program or GIMP at (This feature was dropped from all the later versions.) For instance you can LAN up with people and do some multi-user painting. It is essentially a "poor mans" form of photoshop. I use it quite often and find it to be a really fantastic program. Its pretty easy to learn and there are a lot of tutorials available.Īnother program you might enjoy is Inkscape. Its a vector based art program and is likewise a freeware program. I can't comment much on how easy it is to use or anything though. ![]() I generally use it just for some of its filter effects to help turn sketches into nice lineart.Īll three of the programs I mentioned are available to use for free so if you have an interest check them out. OpenCanvas tools are pretty weak and are mostly good for digital, non-realistic paintings. You can achieve a realistic-looking painting but it will take a lot of practice. ArtRage is better if you want paintings that look like real-life drawings. Personally, I would advice you to look at PaintTool SAI drawing program which is much more neat and easy to work with, or Manga Studio 5 which is a very powerful drawing software. They both are not present on Steam though, so see for yourself. Originally posted by 1Garrett2010:What sets OpenCanvas apart are event files you can load in the program, where you can watch every steps an artist made to create an art. Go to and look at event files uploaded by users every day, there are really a lot of works you can learn so much from them. Usually i choose 2-3 artists i like their masterpieces and i learn from their event files. Originally posted by Polioliolio:My question is, how does the linework compare to art rage's pen, and can I import lines I do in open canvas into art rage? They don't have a comparable event files gallery though. OpenCanvas 5.5 has four different save options: Save Layer, Save As, Save, and Save Event. Originally posted by strover:What does openCanvas have to set it apart, and would it be worth getting as well? Most programs don't seem to have a Save Layer option, so I'm thinking that's what you are asking if OpenCanvas has. I've never had a memory problem working with it. It's very responsive, and has just enough image editing options that I usually use it over Photoshop. Learning exactly how an artist did a picture you like, as if you were in the same room with them is something that OpenCanvas does very well with their online forum. ![]()
