If you want more precision you may want to consider a stylus. Its interface is presuming flat, wide input surfaces, even when zoomed into a piece of art, or when using a fine stroke brush or pencil. Sometimes it’s just a pleasure to digress.Īs ColorStudio HD emphasizes, tools of the art trade can’t be complete without discussing input methods. Anybody remember burnt sienna? But despite these minor flaws, I found myself having some fun with the coloring books. I would also like Griffin and Crayola to assign names to the colors as they are selected. Some of the features, like selecting the color of a crayon or pencil work better with a finger than with the stylus. In ColorStudio HD, the delays between drawing and display can be a little frustrating for an adult with fast response expectations. As an educator, you need to be aware that technology, as magic as it may be, is not without its drawbacks. To use ColorStudio HD you need Griffin’s big Crayola Stylus, that somehow magically transforms the iPad from finger input to big stylus input. These aren’t your childhood coloring books, because they come complete with music, animation and surprises (color in the door in the “Monster” bedroom to find new monsters, for instance). This app and stylus combination helps students start by teaching them to color between the lines in virtual coloring books. For those worried about their current version – it will not stop working.For the younger set, you might want to consider ColorStudio HD from Crayola and Griffin Technologies. Over time, I hope to add tutorials and further information, as well as art created in this version. I am gathering all the available information about the new edition, its price, contents and release date, here on this page.
It also makes a very good last minute gift for Xmas, because you can simply download it. The new version is far more powerful, incorporates custom brushes and selection tools, photoshop filters and a vast array of customisable canvas and tool options – and, even better, watercolours! And IF I can wait that long, it’ll make me the perfect artistic Christmas present! (So if you don’t think you can afford it, or don’t have a credit card, just send this page to someone as a hint – I’ll confirm the ‘how to buy’ instructions when it comes out but they’ll almost certainly be exactly the same as ArtRage 2.5 – that is, pay online and get an emailed registration code – see this section for ideas and instructions). Much loved by users for its ease of use and the replication of natural media, such as paints, canvases and chalk. ArtRage is a delightful natural painting program that I have been using to paint with for over two years – nearly the entirety of my ‘professional’ painting career.
