egypturnashSo I was playing with this cute little limited drawing app called Scribbles.
Interesting bits:
- Funky, minimalist interface
- Internal vector representation of pseudo-natural-media strokes for infinite scalability
- Canvas rotation (I WANT THAT IN AI SO BAD)
Not-so-interesting bits:
- No way to export that vector data as vector data
- Funky interface is at the border of 'too limited' (though it does have layer support)
- No way I could find to say "okay rotate the canvas to 0ยบ now"
- Saved files have a crude stick figure icon instead of a cute little preview which feels... kinda insulting.
Some of you who (a) have a Mac and (b) like doing digital "real-media" stuff might get more out of it than me, though I think most of y'all who meet those qualifications are already into the much more powerful and only $10 more ArtRage. Me, I play with these kinds of tools, and then I just go back to Illustrator - after ten years I just can't imagine doing serious work without some of its features, unless I'm doing it in the real world.
...my first cut at a response to an awesome mechanical cobra description Kin wrote for me. Screengrabbed because it saves bitmaps out with a 50% grey overlay and a 'Scribbles' watermarks until you pay.
