    You can paint like with a pencil, soft or hard strokes are possible. There are layers, too. And your work can be saved/exported. All of this gives you the possibility to draw beautiful sketches or even great artworks, if you are skilled enough.

    Alchemy does not work any longer on my system (Java errors). Webchemy as a web app is a good alternative with similar features.
