With the snap tools, you can draw along guidelines like straight lines, circles, radial lines, and even turn on 3D perspective. Trying to draw or color freehand can be tough. Take it one step further and add symmetry or rotational symmetry to create an altogether unexpected pattern.
You can even create your own original brush and add various effects, unique patterns, or images. There are standard brushes that mimic regular brush strokes, and lots of unique ones like Thorn which creates a trail of 3D thorns, or Leaf which leaves behind a trail of leaves. There are lots of different brushes to choose from, and FireAlpaca adds new ones each week. Clicking on the brush tool for example lets you change the color, size, and type of brush.
On the right-hand side you have access to the main illustration tools like the brush, eraser, dot tool, move, fill, bucket, select, lasso, magic wand, select pen/eraser, text, operation, divide, eyedropper, and hand tool.Ĭlicking on a tool opens a secondary set of options where you can explore various aspects of the tool. At the very top of the screen are the program’s broader functions like file settings, and layers. FireAlpaca has a simple interface with easy-to-use controls and lots of space between elements so it doesn’t feel cramped.
