#Corel painter 2015 review freeWith regard to my animated GIFs/photo sets/scanned or photographed images related to fandom, feel free to use/re-use whatever. I no longer post my art here, but if you want to have a look at my old artwork, just head to my art tag. Try out Corel Painter 2015 here for 30 daysĭownload Painter Mobile from the Play Store Hope someone out there finds something in this useful. I don’t have a phone/tablet that can run this yet, but hopefully in the future. It’s free to use with limited brushes, you only pay for the one-time unlock of all features. #Corel painter 2015 review androidIf you have a pressure-sensitive Android phone or tablet (often with a Wacom digitizer, like Surface PRO or the Samsung Galaxy Note series), this is definitely worth a purchase. I’m actually way more excited about Painter Mobile, which was released at the same time as Painter 2015. I need to explore the default brushes as well. The program is forcing me to paint a different way to achieve the sort of color layering that came so easily for me in Painter 7, but that’s probably not a bad thing. The blenders I use still work well despite jumping through distant versions: I tripped up a lot on the details because I didn’t want to detail anything i’d already spent three hours on this my brushes didn’t completely behave the way I was expecting them to at smaller sizes (maybe scaling problems? idk): Here’s a three hour rough painting I made with my imported old brushes: While the paint build up that I was talking about earlier is still absent (I imagine Corel will never return to that old brush engine anyway…though I’ll need to look into the settings more deeply in case there’s something I can tweak in here), painting with them still feels pretty comfortable. I loaded up three of my old custom brushes from Painter 7 into here, and they hold up surprisingly well. Setting the Color Management settings to “with BPC” on a new image should fix that, or simply “sRGB IEC61966-2.1”: The program still defaults to the “no BPC” setting, which might mean your blacks aren’t going to appear as the darkest of blacks in Painter: I’m going to need a lot of time to acclimate myself to this new version. Watercolor’s still laggy, but I never use that anyway.Ī lot of the original brushes seem to have been revamped, although I can’t quite comment on those yet as the only non-custom tool I’ve ever used in Painter is the default 2B pencil and the Scratchboard pen brush. I thought tools like the Particle brushes would lag on my system, but they were smooth as butter, even when I increased the brush sizes. But, more importantly, the brushes are fast. ![]() The level of customization per brush is insane, and I can’t wait to see what people do with these. …and I’ve seen one youtube video that uses it to create stuff like grass (natural-looking ones even, not the weird plastic things that often come out from auto-generated tools). While these are incredibly cool, I can’t imagine I’d personally have much use for them, although they do make for some some amazing organic textures: Here are a few samples of some of the Particle brushes: #Corel painter 2015 review updateI’ll probably be sketching with pencils instead of inks a lot more from now on.įrom other reviews online, it seems like the meat of this update is the Particles brush feature, which is a physics-inspired brush set. I was a little shocked at how organic and realistic it felt, especially compared to the normal 2B pencil brushes in the past. This tool has never felt as natural for me as it does in this version. The program greets me with a “Real 2B Pencil” brush upon starting, so that’s what I started with. ![]() ![]() A lot of the changes in this version all feel very new to me, though they were probably implemented in version 10-onwards or something. #Corel painter 2015 review trialI dabbled briefly in X3’s trial version, and while there are MANY changes that I loved, I simply find it difficult to move on from Painter 7’s brush engine, more specifically how its brushes can gently build up paint with light pressure. I’ll preface this by saying that this review is from someone who hasn’t extensively explored any of the past Painter versions beyond version 7. ![]()
