TwistedBrush Pro Studio 17.28

If you would like to create a digital painting on your Windows-powered PC, you could take one of two roads. You could stick on Microsoft Blvd. and use the application the operating system provides by default. That application would be MS Paint. I am not going to say this is a bad application; it’s just that it doesn’t have all that much to offer.

That is why you could take a second road. You could go on 3-rd Party Avenue and find some application that can provide more functionality that the digital painting application Microsoft has to offer. Go down this road and you cold find an application like the Pixarra-developed TwistedBrush Pro Studio.

From a functionality point of view, TwistedBrush Pro Studio is far superior to MS Paint. It is far superior to other painting applications you may find out there, as a matter of fact. Here is what you can expect to get from this application:

Lifelike painting experience
A natural feeling when you start painting. The brushes mimic the size, coverage and density of real brushes, giving them a real lifelike quality. To an extent it is as if you are holding a real brush and painting on a real canvas.

Ease of use
TwistedBrush Pro Studio comes with a very good looking and easy to navigate interface. Everything is nicely laid out in front of you, giving you easy access to the application’s functions. It is all so very easy to use that even the novice computer users should be able to use this application without a problem.

Choices, many choices
Just to put things in perspective, TwistedBrush Pro Studio puts more than 7,000 brushes at your disposal. It will take some time to go through them all and choose the ones that best meet your needs.

On top of that there are numerous tools at your disposal, like Color Picker, Brush Cleaner, Selection, Crop, Move, Line, Rectangle, Ellipse, Paint Bucket, Gradients, Mask Rectangle, Mask Ellipse, Mask Wand, Image Warp, Script Brush, Copy tool, Paste tool, Unmask Grid Cell, Text, Pan, Rotate Brush, Drawing Guides and Adjust Brush tools, to name but a few.

There are numerous filters to choose from as well. There are more than 150 filter to go through.

Before you go get TwistedBrush Pro Studio, take a look at these technical bits and pieces:
Download – the download weighs in at some 18MB.
Installation – at the time of writing this the application provides support for Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. The application needs 500MB of free disk space and at least 1GB of RAM (2GB or more recommended).
Limitations - TwistedBrush Pro Studio is free to try, which means you can use the application free of charge for a period of 15 days. If you don’t want to part with your hard earned money, you should know there’s also TwistedBrush Open Studio, a free version that comes with less features.
