AKVIS Charcoal 2.0.336.13551 (Stand-Alone and Plugin) (Mac OS X) | 165 MB
AKVIS Charcoal is an artistic tool for conversion of photos into charcoal and chalk drawings. Charcoal is one of the most popular materials for drawing. It lets you create a preliminary sketch as well as a finished work of art. It combines the advantages of different materials and can be used together with different drawing tools. Using the sharpened charcoal you can make thin clear lines, but if you put it on the edge you'll get a wide loose stroke. Charcoal creates rich and easy picturesque strokes, both delicate and bold.
Chalk is one of the first creative tools for kids. It is ideal for sketching and creating large drawings on pavement or tinted paper. White chalk is used to highlight bright areas of the image, add accents, and give the picture volume. Home Page - http://akvis.com
