Paintstorm Studio - This is professional software for digital painting, designed specifically for artists who are important with flexibility, expressiveness and maximum control over tools. Despite the relatively low popularity in the mass segment, the program was highly appreciated in a professional environment for a unique brush system, deep setting up parameters and high performance.
A unique brush system
The main feature of Paintstorm Studio is an exceptionally flexible and customizable system of brushes. Here, the user can configure almost every aspect of the behavior of the brush: shape, texture, pressure dynamics, response to the pen tilt, speed and direction of movement. Such opportunities allow you to imitate realistic smears, creating an effect similar to traditional painting. This makes the program especially attractive for artists working in genres of concept art, fantasy, comics and science fiction.
Each brush can be changed or created from scratch. The user can import or export his own sets of brushes, configure the parameters up to the smallest nuances, such as the behavior of the bristles and the transition of color.
Interface and working space
The Paintstorm Studio interface is intuitive, although at the initial stage it may seem overloaded. However, it is easily tuned for itself: the panels can be freely moved, hidden, changed. This allows you to create an individual working space adapted to specific tasks.
Among the useful functions:
- Symmetric drawing system (including axial, radial and mirror symmetry)
- Automatic preservation of the parameters of the hands
- Convenient management of layers and masks
- Flexible hotline system
- Support for any graphic tablets with complete sensitivity to pressing, corner and speed
Performance and compatibility
Paintstorm Studio is well optimized and demonstrates high performance even when working with large canvases and high resolution. The program supports work with graphic tablets of all popular brands, including Wacom, XP-Pen, Huion and others.
Versions for Windows, MacOS and iPados are available. The IPAD version is fully adapted to Apple Pencil, providing a full -fledged workflow even in mobile conditions.
Cost and licensing
The program is distributed according to a one -time license. The cost is about 19 US dollars, making it an affordable alternative to more expensive solutions with the subscription model. A trial version is also proposed that allows you to try out all the functionality before buying.

Paintstorm Studio is suitable for those who:
- Wants to have the most flexible system of brushes
