Alchemy Art
Alchemy is a new intuitive digital art program that allows for quick sketching and shape-building. There’s many different options for how your shapes are formed: mirrored, lined, solid, skattered, and so on. You can even make shapes with microphone sounds.

Great for an idea pad to then paint over in Photoshop, or for making complex shapes for Photoshop or Painter brushes.
