Alchemy Alternatives

Alchemy is described as 'open drawing project aimed at exploring how we can sketch, draw, and create on computers in new ways. Alchemy isn’t software for creating finished artwork, but rather a sketching environment that focuses on the absolute initial stage of the creation process' and is a digital painting tool. There are nine alternatives to Alchemy for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Online / Web-based, Linux and Windows Mobile. The best alternative is CorelDRAW Graphics Suite. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Apache OpenOffice Draw or Webchemy. Other great apps like Alchemy are Kleki, Polybrush, SpeedyPainter and Torapp guilloche designer.

Alchemy alternatives are mainly Vector Graphic Apps but may also be Image Editors or Digital Painting Tools. Filter by these if you want a narrower list of alternatives or looking for a specific functionality of Alchemy.

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

      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.
