Draw professional drawings. The best drawing programs for PC

Greetings to all!

If earlier, to draw a picture, you needed a brush, an easel, paints, etc., but now you can create without leaving the computer! Moreover, I would like to note that paintings created in some editor on a computer also cause great delight (as if it were a painting on canvas)!

I will add that many people mistakenly believe that drawing a picture on a computer is easier than on canvas. Moving your cursor (or even drawing with a graphics tablet) is no easier or faster!

Actually, this article is dedicated to tools - to draw a picture, you need special drawing programs (note: graphic editors). These will be discussed below (by the way, I’ll add that I chose free programs that support all popular Windows: 7, 8, 10 (32|64 bits)) . So...

By the way!I have another article on drawing on my blog. There is a special sites that allow you to create paintings online, meet other artists, and find common ideas. For more information, see this article:

List of the best programs. Let's start drawing?

Before moving on to the programs, I would like to dwell on one important issue - the type of computer graphics. In general, there are two main types - vector and raster graphics.

Raster drawing is a canvas on which there are many multi-colored dots (pixels). Together, all these points look to the human eye like some kind of picture (or photo).

Vector drawing consists of entities: line, segment, square, ellipse, etc., which are all interconnected. All these entities also form a wide variety of pictures.

The main advantage of a vector drawing over a raster one is the ability to transform it in any way (for example, enlarge it) without losing quality. The computer, in fact, only needs to recalculate your picture according to the mat. formulas.

Raster graphics are convenient for creating high-quality photos and digital drawings. The most popular raster image formats are JPEG and PNG. It is raster graphics that are most popular in our time (and that is why in my article the main focus is on programs for working with it).

Vector editors in the article: Gravit, DrawPlus, Inkscape.

Raster editors in the article: Paint, Gimp, ArtWeaver and others...

Paint

Raster editor

Basic program in Windows

How to start: find it in the START menu, or press the Win+R buttons, enter the mspaint command in the open line and press Enter.

A very simple graphic editor, designed not even for drawing, but for easily editing pictures (add an inscription, an arrow, erase something, cut out one piece of the picture and paste it into another, save the screenshot taken, etc.).

Professionally, of course, you can hardly draw anything in Paint, but if we are talking about some very simple drawings, then the program can be used. At least, if you are just at the very beginning of your journey, then why not try? ☺

Gimp

Raster editor (partly vector)

The GNU Image Manipulation Program (or GIMP for short) is a very powerful, free and multi-purpose graphics editor. This editor is very multifunctional: it can be used for drawing, or as a program for retouching digital photos, as a program for processing a package of pictures and publishing them (+ converting one format to another).

In addition, there are very interesting opportunities for creating step-by-step commands (scripts) that will automate routine tasks (and the scripts can be truly complex)!

Main advantages:

Unlike Gimp, MyPaint has much less graph functionality. editor, but for your attention a huge dimensionless canvas; a large number of brushes, for a variety of tasks and for different functions (there are a lot of brushes, see the screenshot above).

MyPaint is a tool for painting with brushes on your PC screen almost as if you were doing it on a real canvas. In addition to brushes, there are: crayons, charcoal, pencils, etc. It's hard to resist if you have a craving for drawing...

Main features:

• the program is specifically designed for drawing, so it has fewer options for editing existing pictures (i.e., there are no functions such as selection, scaling, etc.);

Raster

Paint.NET is a free picture and photo editor for Windows. The main difference from other programs is that it uses an intuitive and innovative interface with support for layers, a dimensionless canvas, special effects, useful and powerful editing tools (analogues of which are only available in paid products).

Active and growing online support will help in solving non-standard problems. In addition, quite a lot of instructions have been written for the program, additional ones. plugins to expand capabilities.

Peculiarities:

Livebrush

Raster

Livebrush(translated from English as “live brush”) is a powerful graphic editor that allows you to paint with brushes. Moreover, I would like to immediately note that the “drawing tool” is not a simple one, with its help you can create quite interesting pictures, decorate the art with beautiful strokes and lines, etc.

As you work, you can select and adjust the brush so that as you move it, the line under the brush will change its thickness, color, transparency, tip rotation, depending on your mouse movement speed, pressing speed, etc.

By the way, those who have a graphics tablet will be able to fully experience the benefits of Livebrush, because it also understands the force of pressure and its inclination.

The program's set includes many brushes of different shapes: from simple lines to patterned Gothic ornaments. By the way, you can correct any pattern yourself by switching to editing with a pencil.

In addition, you can draw the pattern yourself and save it as a template. You can import ready-made sets of brushes, projects, and decorations into the program. By the way, they can be found in huge quantities on the official forum of the program.

In general, my verdict is that the program is very convenient, interesting, and deserves the attention of all drawing lovers!

Inkscape

Vector editor (one of the few)

Free analogues: Gravit, DrawPlus

Paid analogues: Corel DRAW and Adobe Illustrator

Inkscape is a free vector editor, one of the few that can partially replace such monsters as Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator. The application has a fairly standard interface: color palette, menu, tools. The program supports all major graphic formats: SVG, PDF, AI, PS, EPS, CorelDRAW.

By the way, Inkscape also has tools from the raster editor - for example, it supports various types of blending. In addition to drawing some geometric shapes, the program supports extensive work with text: you can write text along curved lines. It looks very cool and unusual.

The application has a fairly large number of filters, extensions, etc. All this is available at the office. program website.

Gravit

Vector editor (online version)

Gravit- quite an interesting vector editor. Of course, it cannot replace Adobe Illustrator, but it can compete with the previous program (Inkscape).

The tools include all the most basic things: pens, lines, intersection and cutting of shapes from each other, alignment, layers, fonts, etc. Works can be exported to SVG and several raster formats. You can also open works made in Adobe Illustrator in the program.

What's somewhat surprising is that Gravit looks like a real program while running in a browser window, without using Flash. Among the main shortcomings I would highlight the lack of Russian language.

By the way, in Gravit the choice of canvas is quite interesting: you can choose standard formats of sheets, business cards, postcards, and create covers of popular social networks, phone screens and other gadgets.

Overall, an interesting editor that deserves attention.

DrawPlus

Vector

A very flexible and powerful graphic editor that allows its users to create high-quality illustrations. This program will allow you to fully explore your drawing capabilities.

DrawPlus has many tools that will allow you to easily and quickly create a variety of shapes, strokes, and lines. Each of the elements can be combined with others and gradually the whole complex will become a rather complex, but beautiful illustration.

The artist has a large palette of colors (more than 100 pieces), several types of caps (skinny, regular and fat), and a marker. The distance to the surface is changed manually, it is possible to make drips. In general, for fans of such graphics there is a huge scope!

Those who don’t believe that you can create real masterpieces in the program, I recommend taking a look at the official website and seeing the best works - your view will change a lot!

PixBuilder Studio

Raster editor

A powerful program for processing and editing graphic images and photographs. In addition to editing, it is quite possible to draw and create (although there are fewer tools for this than in previous similar programs).

PixBuilder Studio has quite interesting tools that allow you to finely work with color, brightness, contrast, and layers. In addition, there are built-in effects (for example, dithering (when processing digital signals, it is the mixing of pseudo-random noise with a specially selected spectrum into the primary signal) ), blur, sharpening, etc.

Peculiarities:

• support for popular raster formats: BMP, PNG, JPG, GIF, TIFF, etc.;

An excellent and convenient raster graphics editor for artists (by the way, at the time of writing this review, the program is free even for commercial use). Krita runs on both Windows and Linux.

As for the most important thing: there is a good brush motion stabilizer, layers, masks, dynamic brushes, animation, a large number of blending modes, paper and pastel imitation, “infinite” canvas, etc.

By the way, there is even a portable version of the program that can be run from a regular flash drive on any PC. The program has also been translated into Russian.

PS: the article will be updated...

Thank you in advance for tips and advice in the comments!

Many people like to draw a little in their free time. However, not everyone has the desire to tinker with real paints, brushes and canvases. Instead, they use drawing programs. You can create both simple drawings and real masterpieces with them. At the same time, thanks to the very essence of a digital image, the convenience of such drawing is much higher.

Free drawing programs

GIMP- a completely free program that can replace Adobe Photoshop. It has all the necessary functionality to create any raster images. In addition to photo editing, you can also draw in Gimp. There are special brushes, texture sets and a convenient color palette for this.

You can work with Gimp using a mouse, sensor, or even a graphics tablet. Due to the fact that the program interface is translated into Russian, you can use it immediately after installation, without studying manuals.

Many people note that Gimp is more convenient and easier to learn; its interface is not overloaded with unnecessary and unnecessary functions. If you do not have enough of its capabilities, you can install additional plugins. They will help open some special formats, speed up image processing, or add new tools.

Gimp is one of the most popular graphics processing programs, and among the free ones, it is the best program.

It was created by a group of students, it is very convenient and functional. Its interface is similar to the standard Windows Paint editor, it is translated into a number of languages, including Russian, and this makes it easier to switch from one program to another. Paint.Net works very quickly and does not require a powerful processor or graphics card.

Users choose it because of its simplicity, fairly broad functionality and, of course, a free license. This program is not comparable to expensive analogues, it is difficult to use in professional activities, but for home use Paint.Net is a good option.

What's interesting is that right after installation it can open very specific file formats, such as DDS, which are used to create games. This has made it popular among novice developers. Moreover, its functionality is sufficient for the needs of texturing and drawing.

Pixia- a unique program for drawing on a computer. It was not created for simple graphics editing. Her initial task is to create anime. For this purpose, the catalog of tools contains all the necessary brushes and selected palettes.

Despite the fact that the program has been officially translated only into Japanese, its users have created a number of localizations, including Russian. This, combined with a simple and intuitive interface, reduces the barrier to entry into the program. Anyone who has at least the beginnings of artistic talent can try their hand at drawing cartoons and comics using Pixia.

What’s especially interesting is that the program supports many graphics formats, including proprietary .psd and proprietary .pxa. This feature allows you to use layouts made in Photoshop.

Inkscape- an excellent vector graphics editor that supports the Russian language, which you can download for free. You can use it to create diagrams and drawings, web graphics and real works of art. The closest analogue of this program is Adobe Illustrator, which is distributed for a fee. At the same time, their functionality is approximately the same.

Inkscape, unlike other free applications, is competitive. Using it, you can create works of any level of complexity, save them in any vector and raster formats.

It's worth noting that drawing in Inkscape is very different from classic drawing. All images consist of a number of template elements - straight, curved lines, circles and other geometric shapes. This approach to drawing makes it possible to ensure that even a fragment enlarged a thousand times will not blur, turning into a set of huge pixels.

This is a simple drawing app that works directly from the browser. It allows you to create simple, but quite beautiful drawings. To do this, it has a palette, a set of different brushes and a number of settings, such as transparency, line thickness, and so on.

It is almost impossible to use Yandex.Paints in the professional sphere, except perhaps to create some unusual, stylized graphics. However, for entertainment this flash program is perfect. You can spend several hours in it creating a fun drawing.

Due to the fact that this program supports animation, it has “blinking” brushes. The most popular of them is the “heart brush”. If you draw a line to it, you will see that it consists of small animated figures. This opens up real scope for creativity. The program can be in Russian or in a number of foreign languages.

Artweaver- a very versatile program. You can do almost everything related to graphics in it. Convenient tools for cropping, filling images, working with layers and gradients will help you process existing images, and advanced brushes will be a real discovery for those who love to draw.

In addition to standard pencils and digital brushes, the program contains a set of artistic ones. They display not only the color, but also the texture of the paint. Working with such a tool, you can adjust the amount of virtual paint and its humidity to achieve the most accurate effect.

The program is good not only because of its Russified interface, which is very similar to Adobe Photoshop, but also because of its wide range of additional functions. For example, Artweaver can reproduce user actions automatically (to create training videos), and work on an image as a team using cloud storage.

Paid programs (Demo version)

The most popular program in Russian, which is intended exclusively for drawing. It is impossible to process existing graphics, but it has everything you need to create it. Those who purchase the program get access to a huge selection of brushes, customizable according to a number of parameters, a palette consisting not only of colors, but also of different types of paints.

This creative studio is suitable for those who prefer “virtual oil” drawings, because the display effects are amazing - they are made of incredibly high quality. Having made a stroke, you will be able to appreciate the small stripes on it from the bristles of the brush. This allows painters to create not simple drawings, but entire masterpieces.

ArtRage is a great choice for those who want to learn how to draw in real life rather than digitally without spending huge sums on supplies. By connecting the program to a graphics tablet, you will get a magnificent canvas, with enormous functionality and a ton of settings.

Many home computer users know that there is free drawing software available. A great variety of them have been created. In this review, we will help you decide on the choice of the most suitable graphics application for yourself.

Free drawing programs

As already mentioned, a huge number of different programs for creating and processing images have long been created. They are divided into: professional, semi-professional, and amateur. In addition, there are programs for fast graphics processing. For example, they allow you to: in just a couple of mouse clicks, improve quality, increase sharpness, remove red-eye, and also contain other useful little things.

As for programs specifically for drawing on a computer, our review today will be devoted to free applications. Today the undisputed leaders are: Paint.NET, Gimp, Inkscape, SmoothDraw, MyPaint. In addition, there are also various “drawers”.

Now let’s briefly look at the above-mentioned free drawing programs.

Method 1: Paint.NET

The application is positioned as a free replacement for the classic Paint, which is included by default in all versions of the Windows operating system. Unlike its predecessor, the functionality has been significantly expanded. The program belongs to the middle segment of graphic editors. Despite the fact that the application's capabilities are quite extensive, it still falls short of such a well-known image processing program as Gimp.

Method 2: Gimp

This is a professional image creation and processing tool. Can be used as a full replacement for commercial. Has similar functionality. Supports PSD file format. It also easily imports brush sets designed for Photoshop.

Used by photographers, web designers, artists. In addition, the program's capabilities are easily expanded by installing add-ons.

Gimp supports graphics tablets, so the program can be recommended for artists.
The advantage of the graphic editor is that gimp supports import and export to the popular PDF format.

The screenshot notes:

1. Classic Toolbar - Most of the tools are similar to Adobe Photoshop.
2. Tabs containing open images.
3. Menu.
4. A work area in which all program capabilities are combined. Layers, brushes, image options, log, etc.

It should be noted that in this screenshot all work areas of the program are combined into one “ working window" To disconnect windows, just go to the menu “ Window", and uncheck the box " Single window mode" Sometimes this mode of operation is quite useful.

We also note that during installation, the application will automatically detect the operating system language and automatically install the required language version. You can also set the language manually during installation. The program has support for almost all the most popular languages.
