Continuing with my absolute love for aliteration here comes ‘Radical Resources’
In my never ending journey through the vast confines of what is known as ‘The interwebz’ (and more importantly, Tumblr) I found a recopilation of what is to me the biggest list of free art programs I’ve ever seen.
And to provide my non-existant followers with the best of the best, I’ve decided to share it with you.
* means it’s aviable for both Windows and Mac OS
Gimp* – similar to photoshop
FireAlpaca* – similar to Paint Tool SAI, good alternative for Mac users.
Autodesk Sketchbook Copic Edition* – Simulates the look of copic markers.
MyPaint * – Basic stuff, nothing fancy.
Pinta * – Drawing program modeled after paint.NET.
Inkscape * – Vector/drawing program meant to be similar to Illustrator.
ArtRage * – Digital painting program; you can get the trimmed down version for free or buy the full version with more features.
Sumo Paint * – In-browser drawing app.
DAZ Studio * – Some sort of 3D model poser thing.
Pencil * – Software for animating.
SketchUp * – Tool for making 3D models. Looks handy for stuff like architectural drawings.
Blender * – Pretty popular 3D software.
escape motions * – Some browser apps, fun to fiddle with when you’re bored (the fluid fire simulation is pretty cool imo).
Twistedbrush (Pixarra) – Seems to be meant for replicating the look of traditional media.
Pixia/Phierha – A popular program in Japan, according to the website.
Krita – This was originally made for Linux and it looks like the developers haven’t ironed out all of the kinks in the Windows installer.
Artweaver – Another trimmed down free thing if you don’t want to buy the full program.
paint.NET – Pretty basic kit, probably good for simple stuff.
Project Dogwaffle – I’m not sure what this one is all about because I couldn’t stop laughing at the terrible website.
Speedy Painter – Lightweight digital painting program.
mtPaint – Originally made for pixel art; simple enough to run on older computers.
Chasys Draw IES – Supposed to be some sort of drawing+image editor thing.
PaintRibbon – Seems to be another plain old basic image editor.
DrawPlus – Looks like it’s made for graphic design and vector stuff.
SmoothDraw – I’m guessing this is a basic thing for people who don’t want to bother with complicated stuff.
