If you want AzDrawing to load it from the help menu, rename the new file to help.html.Įase Of Use - Deceptively simple to use, and exploring the program shows a surprising scope of options and tools available. Just download and place into your AzDrawing folder. * I have created a basic Google English translation of the help file, HTML as the original, available here. The Linux version is on the new AzDrawing page ( English translated). Spanish also available see here for details, and the program download. The Windows final version 2.02 (both Japanese & English included) from the main AzDrawing page ( English translated). Due to it's limitations I haven't used it beyond various tests, and for this review. Recommend Use - AzDrawing is great for sketching, outlining, and inking artwork (depending on skills and style wanted).ĪzPainter though I keep only as it is part of the AzDrawing package. The software author Azel is still developing them for Linux ( English translated), so who knows perhaps one day someone will compile them to run on Windows. Then of course two programs had to be used (AzDrawing and AzPainter) to make artwork so many opted to simply use another single program. The lack of mainstream popularity was likely language barriers - website, help files, and AzPainter only in Japanese (besides translated versions by fans). Windows versions have been discontinued, but the final versions still work great (I use Windows 8.1) and they rival programs such as FireAlpaca still today with some features. I did not think a current review of art related programs would be complete without covering them briefly. Two complementary programs (AzDrawing is for sketching and inking, while AzPainter is of course for coloring), I have used AzDrawing occasionally for many years. Windows ( discontinued November 22, 2011) ( English translated) Official website - Linux (newest) ( English translated) Systems - Windows XP/Vista/7/8.1/10, Linux Notes - Both programs are a complementary package, so I am including them together too. Tested versions - AzDrawing2 v2.02 and AzPainter2 v2.12

Programs - AzDrawing2 and AzPainter2 (AzSky (Azel))
