TwistedBrush Pro Studio Reviews

A Lot of Superb Brushes, Colour Pallete, Real nature mixing of colour, Layering setup and all that come with TwistedBrush Pro Studio are cool. But You have to dedicate a lot of your time to learning things.

You are not supposed to be an expert within a couple of weeks. Quite confusing Tool Layouts, not easy-to-use combinations of key shots. The learning curve is very steep.

I am a painter and creative content creator with a reputed firm. Painting is my Hobby. I used to be a real-world painter playing with colour stains, oils, turpentine, and numerous other things required for original real-world painting. But I was searching for an alternative and innovative way to go forward after the introduction of Wacom Cintiq Pro 13 and 16. I was informed about TwistedBrush by one of my friends, and I tried it for once; I purchased a Perpetual License.

I enjoy the array of different options in terms of effects, brushes, etc., and the fact that the software is fairly affordable compared to other professional grade art programs that I have used. It can be used with either a mouse or tablet with complete ease and it is overall very easy to pick up on how to operate.

My biggest issue with the software is the fact that while it is advertised as "Pro Studio", implying professional grade, it seems very outdated and does not produce as high quality results as some of my other studio programs. I feel like it is pretty buggy as well, in terms of random problems arising out of nowhere, only to be solved momentarily by resetting the software. In particular, changing brush controls seems to always bug out and cause issues. Thankfully the undo function exists, otherwise those buggy issues would have ruined several pieces. I feel like the program needs polishing and needs to be updated to the standards of other software programs out there today that offer the same thing.

Do your research on whether the software is going to perform exactly the way you need it to.

I have used TwistedBrush Pro Studio in my own personal business (Etsy store) to help create logos, packaging designs, business card designs, etc. as it seems to be a great starting point to get a background or theme together before moving on to other programs. It definitely allows for more creativity in that process as opposed to working in a software similar to Photoshop. I personally like the feel and style of art programs for creating colorful business images rather than trying to craft something bland and tasteless in a more limited program.
