I have spent many hours working with TwistedBrush Pro Studio and all I can say is wow! It is a huge product that allows you to realise your wildest imaginings regarding digital art. It has a vast number of tools allowing you to create digital masterpieces. This will not come quickly, so expect to invest quite a bit of time in learning the user interface and how to use the vast number of tool available. Pixara have provided a pretty comprehensive user guide, along with a huge library of videos to guide you through virtually any scenario. I cannot praise this product enough and would definitely recommend it.

Pros

TwistedBrush Pro Studio is absolutely jammed full of functionality, so many tools, you will never get bored.

Cons

The very comprehensiveness of the product can leave you feeling a little daunted. This is a complex product that takes some serious effort to master and get the best from it.

I was excited to try it but after playing with it for awhile, I didn't end up using it much. It's fine, but no reason to continue if I have access to other, better pieces of software.

Pros

It offers a fun and engaging way of bringing art into the digital space. Probably a good fit for beginners. It's fun to try out the brushes and just see what you can come up with.

Cons

It's probably not as feature-rich as other art software packages. If you are used to other popular software, it might not be used the same way or do everything you expect it to.

TwistedBrush Pro Studio has been wonderful to use but we do feel as though the price is a little steep.

Pros

TwistedBrush Pro Studio is made for people who want to paint, sketch, and create intricate works of art on their computer.

Cons

TwistedBrush Pro Studio has a lot of nice brushes but it could use more features in the software overall for the price of it.

Fantastic program and have absolutely no qualms with it.

Pros

I love how many brushes come with this software! It’s literally an artist’s dream! I’ve dabbled with other software on the market and I have to say I definitely favor this one because of the myriad options at my disposal. If you’re looking for an alternate program to other big name ones, look no further! It’s just as easy to use and navigate as the others.

Cons

I have had no negative experiences with this program to date and would highly recommend it to my fellow artists.

Pros

I really like the many different things one can do with Twisted Brush software. The blending, shading, and colors options really bring the inner artist out. Hours upon hours gone but not lost using Twisted Brush

Cons

Not 100% sure on what all was or wasn't available during the trial run, but that could be remedied by making the purchase

I love the way it lets a non artist like me play the role of a great FX hero. So much respect for the guys at ILM and Foundry - and now I can play along too.

Pros

While it has so many brushes - I can spend a weekend exploring a single one! I've got a whole hobby full of GFX fun here!

Cons

I'd like a free version - but I respect it must take a lot of investment to keep this project alive.

Reasons for choosing TwistedBrush Pro Studio

It saves so much time. The others take years to learn - this one is up and running well as soon as you've watched the first couple of tutorials (and the tutorial guy is charming)

I use the program in a variety of scenarios and have found it to be extremely useful!

Pros

I tried a demo of TwistedBrush Pro Studio (TBPS) and really liked everything it has to offer! After trying it out and finding how much I liked it I purchased a TBPS Perpetual License because I knew that I always wanted this software to be a part of my toolbox. There is so much you can do with this program, it's almost overwhelming. But the learning curve is actually pretty easy so it wasn't as hard to learn and understand the many options and features of this program as I first thought. I have used competing products and found most of them to be a lot more difficult to understand and learn. And most of the comparable products are a lot more expensive, and many do not have many of the options and features I've found in TBPS. Pixarra also has terrific video tutorials on their website which are very helpful.

Cons

When I first purchased the software I was a bit overwhelmed by all the features and options BUT I quickly found how user friendly the program is.

TBPS is easier to use, has better tutorials, and is more affordable. It's a no brainer!

Pros

I work in film and I love this program because I can remove things from the footage and pictures that I am working for in my projects. I find it easier to use than the other programs that I have used and less time consuming which is good especially when working within a certain time frame to complete my work. I would recommend this program to everyone who is looking for something that is user friendly.

Cons

so far I have found nothing that I least like about this software.
