You start off with a set of 13 free brushes inspired by famous painters (with names like Manet and Renoir), but almost any other tool in the interface costs money. A desktop version of Psykopaint, not yet released at the time of this writing, promises to detect pen pressure.Īfter playing around with brushes and layers, you can end up with something that doesn’t look much like a photograph at all.Psykopaint also shares a business model with deviantArt muro: The basic application is free, but extra brushes and tools cost money. I tried using Psykopaint with my Intuos5 pen tablet, but it actually worked better with my trackball: It is not pressure sensitive, nor did it respond to the angle in which I was holding the stylus. So it feels(a little bit) like you’re painting, but really, Psykopaint is doing all of the heavy lifting for you–almost like working with a coloring book. Psykopaint is a much more hands-on experience: You pick a brush and paint with it all over your photo, transforming it bit by bit. Dynamic Auto-Painter does the same thing, and you only have to tweak a few sliders and set it loose on your photo. You can use it to create art from scratch, but its real mission is to help you convert photographs into paintings. Unlike muro, however, it is entirely Flash-based. Psykopaint offers an array of thirteen different brushes for free.Like deviantArt muro, Psykopaint is a webapp. Psykopaint is a Flash-based webapp that sits somewhere in the middle of that spectrum, neatly sandwiched between deviantArt muro on the draw-it-yourself side and Dynamic Auto-Painter on the algorithmic photo-to-painting side. Just like there’s a spectrum of art supplies from crayons to Connoisseur Kolinsky sable brushes, there’s a spectrum of painting applications from Microsoft Paint to Photoshop and Corel Painter.
