ArtRage overview

ArtRage gives you a range of artistic tools such as oil paints, pencils, and felt pens that look and feel like their real world counterparts so you can get right down to painting without having to learn how they work.

You can create your own artwork from scratch, import photos as tracing images to guide your art, and even pin images to your canvas for reference as you paint, as well as take advantage of many professional digital editing features and customizable tools.

ArtRage is also available as iOS and Android apps, as well as a Lite version for Windows and macOS. Desktop licences for Lite and ArtRage 5 cover both platforms. For more information visit the ArtRage homepage.

  • Contains all the features of ArtRage 3 Studio Pro and ArtRage 4
  • Custom brushes (create your own custom digital brush)
  • Docking and lights out interface modes
  • Customizable perspective (one- and two-point, transform paint to match perspective)
  • Guides
  • Layer effects (e.g., drop shadow, glow, emboss)
  • Warp (liquefy) filter
  • Remove color matter filter (easily delete white backgrounds)
  • Improved color sampling options (select from an area, select by hue, luminance, saturation, metallic)
  • Improved fill tool (fill neatly to border, slow motion, ignore gaps)
  • Improved pencil and pastel tools (natural noise effect)
  • Improved performance
  • Multiple documents

ArtRage is a wonderful tool for me as an academically trained artist, it's nothing less than a dream mobile atelier. There's the learning curve to digest, but once this is done it's the perfect digital painting studio I say, even if you don't ask! What needs to be known is this app is too powerful for the once in a while doodlers, so I would recommend mainly for serious artists or aspiring ones. It's the best in this app category by far with an unbeatable price!

Retina please.. I'm getting so used to the sharpness that when I open an app that's not, I feel like I need to see an ophthalmologist.. or that I jumped back in time to Mac Quadra or something ;0)

Without a doubt, one of the most convoluted, byzantine paths to an upgrade I've ever experienced! Developers: are you listening?
