    though designed for photo editing it is a phenomenal drawing app the thing that can make fire alpaca seem better is how photoshop has more than one purpose and isn't laid out optimally for artists initially but you'll find layouts online if needed

    FireAlpaca is a drawing app, while Adobe Photoshop is, well, a Photoshop app.

    I love both FireAlpaca and FireAlpaca. Compared to other free drawing software, these two have a nice fill tool to fill the color with a very nice effect.

    very good interface, just simply as it would be. Very good brushes and this software works with Huion pen tablet very well (FireAlpaca doesn't). Multiple layers (not just 3 !) and different modes. Focus on drawing. Good app on mobile device too.

    There's a free version I found online, but you can still save the images with a screen capture. Also, it's really great for making abstract art, which works well for backgrounds.
