FREE ART PROGRAMS
So recently I came across a fellow artist who was struggling to find a free art program, and considering dropping the large amount of money for a Photoshop license. I know not everyone can afford such an expensive program, so I’ve compiled a list of programs with no cost to download and use.
Keep in mind all computers are different, so not all will work for everyone. Also, I’ve only ever used Windows, so for the most part, I’m not sure if everything will work for Mac. if in doubt check the website linked.
Photoshop CS2 - (Windows, not sure about Mac.)
FireAlpaca - (Windows and Mac)
Sketchbook Copic Edition - (Windows and Mac)
Paint tool SAI [cracked] - (Windows) (Mac)
Paint tool SAI 2 beta - (tumblr post on said program)
iPaint - (Mac)
Paintbrush - (Mac)
Pencil - (Windows, Mac)
Paint.NET - (Windows)
Seashore [still in development, ver 0.5] - (Mac)
ChocoFlop - (Mac)
Inkscape - (Mac and Windows)
ArtRage [Demo] - (Mac and Windows)
OpenCanvas 1.1[must pay for 2.0] - (Windows, not sure about Mac.)
MyPaint - (Windows)

sometimes I forget that rulers work with tablets and I get really frustrated with my inability to freehand straight lines
I NEVER
REALIZED
YOU COULD DO THIS
BUT IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE
omfg for real I thought this was just me?
er, dear artists of Tumblr:
WHY DID THIS NEVER OCCUR TO ME?
pspspss

Because true.
OH SWEET JESUS I WAS SO DUMB AND BLIND THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING—
This is like the most obvious shit I feel like I’ve just ascended or something. How the fuck did nobody realise any of this?… HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS I AM DONE
reblog to save an artist’s life.
How many fucking places do you need to get drunk?!?!
As many as possible
“why aren’t that many in the top of Scotland?” those are mountains fam nobody’s that desperate
most villages i know have way more pubs than all their shops combined
The thing is, pubs are not just places to get drunk.
In many small towns they are the only place to get a meal that is not fast food without cooking it yourself. Even in larger towns they can have the best food.
They’re where you go to play darts, sing karaoke, play trivia.
They’re where you go to meet people to talk to - and no, not just people you might want to hook up with. When I was in college, regular department lunches, students and professors alike, happened…in the back room of a nearby pub. We’d get pies, one beer, and discuss the stuff we didn’t get to in class.
Pubs are places where the bartender knows your name, and where exchanges like “We’re out.” “I’ll have the other one.” are fully understood. Seriously, some people will walk into their “local” and their drink will be poured and on the bar before they get to it.
Yes, there’s alcohol, and absolutely some people go to the pub to get drunk. But a pub is not the same thing as a bar.
Pubs fall into the “third space” that is neither home nor work. In America, we had this little thing happen called Prohibition.
Alcohol became something you had to sneak.
A place to get a drink became a place to get a drink. It was the speakeasy. It was the den of vice.
The role of the pub was taken over by the coffee house.
So, Americans, don’t think of the British pub as a sports bar (where you go to watch a game), or as a regular bar (where you go to get drunk), or a bar and grill (a restaurant with good beer).
Think of it as a coffee shop that sells alcohol. As that vital third place.
And then you might understand why Britain has so many of them. (Britain does have coffee shops too, mind, but they don’t get turned into the third place in the same way as here, although Costa still way beats Starbucks).
(This is your PSA from the person who has lived in both countries).
Unmute this shit
This vine is very close to perfect.
The song choice perfectly describes my reaction to this.
Like me too?
