Alchemy is a new app (still in Alpha release) for quick sketching and no-turning-back idea generation. It’s all very spontaneous; no undo, no zoom, limited array of tools with a large degree of randomness to them – all to facilitate chaotic outbursts of ideas rather then meticulous fine tuning.
It’s perfect for quickly generating shapes and rough compositions for later fine-tuning in Photoshop or Painter, but the mirror and gradient modules also makes it rewarding to create finished images. As with many other things, the inherent limitations become strengths.
Here is a collage of some character brainstorming in Alchemy; some are better than others.
