Just rediscovered a very nice little piece of software that works a little bit like brushes in Illustrator but is made specifically for artists (I think). THe software is called Expression, it is release #3 now and it is available as a 30 day fully functional trial version here. I remember using it a long time ago when it just came out under the fractal design umbrella...
I just downloaded it last night, and just ran a simple little drawing through various brushes that come with the download.
It feels nice to draw someting first and then to imagine having drawn it with a completely different tool.
The drawings below are one and the same drawing... Am I being tempted here, or is this really fascinating? Oh and Expression is vector based. This means that all of these drawings are not restricted to a particular size. (The .jpg files here are, of course.)
Hmm... just one simple drawing, and yet the moods are so different...

Posted by: witold on June 19, 2003 07:22 AMI played with an expressions demo when it first came out a few years ago. It was disabled and couldn't save, so I did some screen grabs and used the results as graphics for my journal!
I didn't know it had new versions. cool!
