The best features of the brand-new, incredibly realistic digital painting software, Rebelle 6

January 3, 2023

Did you know? Escape motions has released the newest version of Rebelle, Rebelle 7! Learn more about it here. This blog post might be outdated and missing information about new features!


We’ve discussed the award-winning painting software from Escape Motions, Rebelle, before. But they’ve completely outdone themselves with the newest version of Rebelle, just released this past December — Rebelle 6.

Here are some of the most incredible new features in the latest version.

What is Rebelle?

Rebelle is unique among digital painting software for its incredibly realistic painting tools — watercolor simulation, oil and acrylic mixing, and color pigmentation. Like few other pieces of software, it impressively mimics how real-life media lay on canvas.

Rebelle 5 introduced best-in-class, true-to-life color, and allows artists to directly manipulate oil thickness, watercolor diffusion, and paint pigment color mixing. it also introduced NanoPixel, which used AI to increase the quality of editing, allowing post-creation editing without having to re-paint.

All of this is best enjoyed with a Wacom tablet or display. Wacom’s incredibly precise, ergonomic pens, paired with the textured surfaces of our devices, means painting digitally with Wacom and Rebelle is the most realistic digital painting experience there is.

What’s new in Rebelle 6?

The coolest new feature is fractal image processing, an image recognition machine learning algorithm that takes NanoPixel to the next level. 

That means transforming and editing of paintings can be done without losing almost any of the details of a work and without pixelation. This also works for resizing entire canvases; if you create something at a certain size, but realize that you want to sell prints of it at a larger size, for example, fractal image process allows for this to happen like never before.

Another upgraded feature is the brush creator, which allows nearly unlimited brush creation — and you can create favorite brushes for more efficient workflows. If creating your own brushes isn’t your thing, Rebelle also comes with more than 240 brush presets.

Rebelle’s claim to fame is its realistic painting tools and paint mixing, and a new feature, stroke length, is now adjustable — this determines when your brush runs out of paint, just like in real life. It also offers more than 120 papers, canvases, and other surfaces, because in real life, paint clearly sits and blends differently depending on the surface upon which you’re painting.

Have you ever tried masking out a person using a mouse? 🫢 @ruthiesmagicalcamera did and it really sucked. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Ruthie likes to have full control over every single detail on her photo composites, and editing with a Wacom pen allows her to get really deep in the details, with razor sharp precision, as if she were painting over her photos 💃✍️📸🌾
Check her out trying out the new #WacomMovink!

Enjoy this stylized illustration created by @bonehaus inspired by his recent trip to Amsterdam. ⁣
⁣
He goes full circle, collecting inspiration and reference, sketching in #AdobePhotoshop, illustrating in #AdobeIllustrator, and then right back to #photoshop for finalizing color and texture 🔄✌️⁣
⁣
Once in Illustrator, Kirk outlines and traces the major shapes of his sketch, then removes the lines and focuses instead on shapes and shadows. ⁣
⁣
"I start building in more shadows and more details to help separate any of the shapes that are struggling without that outline. I like my art without a ton of outline, so I prefer the challenge of using some shadows and highlights and stuff to separate them.”⁣
- @bonehaus⁣

How do you keep inspired during ordinary days? 
@buttersketch shares a glimpse into her creative process, full of graphic novels, picture books, music, journaling and art materials. 

"“I really love bribing myself with new materials,” she confesses with a smile. “I think it helps my brain bypass the anxiety of starting, because now I’m focused on just playing.”
