The graphics in this software are praised for their unique and intuitive design, particularly for pixel art and simpler vector graphics, though some users noted limitations such as the inability to save true vector graphics and a small preview window for irregular shapes. While it excels in creating specific art styles like trixel and mixel, users recommend pairing it with more advanced graphics editors for enhanced functionality. Overall, it is considered a fun and powerful tool for both hobbyists and aspiring graphic designers.
“Amazing fun and produces great artworks!”
“It feels intuitive, designed for what it was meant - pixel arts and less demanding vector graphics.”
“One of the best software I use to date, it's so unique and I love all the different art styles it allows me to work in, would really recommend.”
“A missed opportunity that you can't save your art as true vector graphics.”
“The preview window is too small for some irregular graphics.”
“Now there is a free draw tool, where you can fix those things by drawing over top on a new layer, but then it ruins the aesthetic, and at that point you would be better off using a different program entirely.”
