TwistedBrush is a program for artists that can be downloaded for free from diakov.net. It is equipped with a wide variety of drawing tools, from paints to crayons and pencils. The interface of TwistedBrush bears little resemblance to other editors, although it provides all the necessary features: working with the clipboard, zooming and, of course, drawing. Moreover, there is only one drawing tool – a brush, but the quantity (more than 3000 pieces !!!) and the quality of presets for drawing, as well as the variety of shapes and adjustability of sizes and colors allow a person who is not particularly gifted with artistic talents to depict what that – perhaps more accurately and efficiently, of course – a professional working in another editor would probably draw for more than one hour.
The drawing system itself comes down to manipulating various brushes, which allow both to depict specific drawing tools: pencils, artist’s brushes, etc., and to create certain effects, such as: smoke, fire, wind, fog, water, and even create some 3d objects with shadows and futuristic fractals. You have the ability to mix oil paints, use spray guns, and draw sketches. With these tools, you can depict almost anything. You can also add effects to images: their number is not so impressive – “only” a few dozen, which is also quite a lot, although TwistedBrush is certainly inferior to Photoshop and Ulead PhotoImpact in this area. The difference is that the main purpose of the last two programs is image processing, whereas in TwistedBrush, the emphasis is on making them simple, even for an absolute beginner, but powerful in its capabilities. The page interface of the program is somewhat unusual, but you get used to it very quickly.
