Artweaver 5.1.2
In order to draw a good cartoon, it is not easy to find the right program. One of the best in this area is the German Artweaver program. At the moment the program does not have a full version, only beta, but it already has serious authority. Artweaver allows you to work with most formats: JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG, PSD, TIFF, TGA, PCX. In addition to having standard tools, the program supports tools for professionals. Works well with digital photos.
Its main advantage is its excellent work with layers.
The program works with both a computer mouse and graphics tablets for drawing. Stores 100 actions in history, this will save your cartoon at the wrong moment. In addition, the editor has the ability to connect various kinds of plugins to it.
Russian translators have already written a Russifier, so by installing it you can eliminate all problems with the concept of “how to work” in Artweaver.
The German program itself resembles a mixture Paint и Photoshop . But there are also differences from these two editors.
Firstly, Artweaver has a special panel for brush settings. In terms of the number of features, the photo editor is not inferior to its analogues. The design is most similar to GIMP.
Basic principles of working in Artweaver
Once you have selected a drawing tool, you can fully customize it: brush shapes, drawing method, tool types. In the window below, you can configure the canvas, gradient and patterns. If you combine all this with working on a tablet, you can create a masterpiece.
Thanks to Artweaver, you can draw everything in very high definition. The program has everything you need to work with drawings: layers and their movement, lines, selection tools, gradient, text, templates, stamps, eraser, fill and color capture.
It is convenient to use your “hand” to navigate through the picture, and to enlarge an object you will need a “magnifying glass”.
The program will allow you to adjust the scatter, transparency and select the appropriate filter for each layer separately. Color capture is useful for those who are not well versed in numbering various layers. This can be done using a “pipette”.
An eraser will help remove excess, and if you don't need to erase everything, then use a highlighter.
There are many tools for selecting layers: lasso, selection, magic wand. The first one is suitable for selecting an arbitrary part of the picture. The second is for quickly selecting a rectangular or oval area.
The magic wand selects single-colored areas in the drawing.
Artweaver has a disadvantage - this is the lack of auxiliary tips for beginner animators. You will have to learn to draw yourself. If after installing the program you have problems creating high-quality images, then you should search the Internet for available lessons on how to use it.
