    [Graphic Editor] OpenCanvas7 Review (by YouNa)

    Nowadays it has become possible to see many wonderful illustrations in places like games, animations, and comics. They are often an important factor that can make people feel more immersed in the content.

    The content you see is often created by special software that professionals use. So that brings us to OpenCanvas7 by PGN (PortalGraphics.Net) Inc. OpenCanvas has played an important role in creating some of those beautiful game illustrations that you may have seen. Along with Photoshop, Opencanvas is one of the most influential Graphic Editors for illustrators. However unlike Photoshop, OpenCanvas is designed to be a little more user-friendly. In fact it does not impose any strain on your PC nor does it exceed the Storage (Size) 100 MB.

    If you are an illustrator, game developer, or user who is interested in illustrating, you need to check out OpenCanvas7! Here are some notable features that make it easy for beginner artists to handle:


    * Intuitive & Simple Interface.
    The biggest advantage of OpenCanvas7 is its user-friendly interface configuration. It's similar to the Photoshop toolkit, but it's not as complicated as Photoshop. So even if you are a beginner, you can easily understand and handle OpenCanvas. Of course, existing Photoshop users will not have any problems using it as an supplemental tool.


    * Draw Illustrations Using A Mouse Without A Tablet.
    OpenCanvas was first released to the world in 2000. Since then, the software has been constantly updated and evolved into its current version. What this means is that OpenCanvas has been designed to be able to draw pictures without use of a tablet since the beginning. Therefore, even beginners can use the software to easily draw illustrations as their hobby. Some famous illustrators have often mentioned in interviews that this software influenced their painting skills before they became experts. Of course, the latest version of OpenCanvas7 is also optimized for tablets.

    * Work Efficiently & Manage Your Illustrations.

    Despite not having all the functions as a program like Photoshop, OpenCanvas7 has most of what you need as a tool to efficiently draw & edit your illustrations. When comparing its price & size to Photoshop, OpenCanvas7 can be a great graphic editor for anyone. In addition, since it has an event function it is possible to check out the drawing timelapse of your artwork. This feature of OpenCanvas is very useful when you want to show off the process of pure painting while keeping the program interface hidden.

    OpenCanvas set out to be a simple and easy-to-use painting program / graphic editor. Today, it has reached all the way to the current version OpenCanvas7. This is thanks to the efforts of the passionate developers and continued support by its many loyal users.
