ArtRage Contests in 2016:
We'll be changing the contests a bit next year. We started them back when this was a tiny, tiny group, and have been delightfully surprised by how well they took off. We will be rearranging the prizes a bit, and considering whether we need to make changes to the rules, but we still intend to continue having a monthly drawing prompt format.
If you have any feedback, or suggestions, please leave us a comment!
ArtRage for iPad Apple Pencil Support
We will be supporting the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, and expect to submit the update very soon. In the meantime, you should be able to use the Pencil without pressure or tilt by turning off Palm Projection in the Preferences. The update will also include some new features like Canvas Rotation (for all users), split screen support, larger brush sizes and larger canvases (for iPad Pro users).
Celebration
The poll this month was tied between ducks and celebration, so we flipped a coin and chose celebration. We'll put ducks back into the next poll, so you can vote on them again!

October Palette Knife November Madness Winners
It's that time when we announce winners again! People had a lot of fun with the last two contests, and got to experiment a bit, which was great. We had the fun job of figuring out who managed to answer the prompts best, as well as who had the best art - not always the same thing! Fortunately, we're very happy with our first place winners, and think they're splendid examples of rising to a challenging prompt to create awesome art.
(And yes, we're very late with the October winners, but we're early with the November winners, so let's just pretend it evens out :shh: )

ArtRage November Madness Contest
Thank you to everyone who entered the Palette Knife contest, and we hope you had fun smushing all that paint around. Now, onto the next contest! And don't forget, we released a huge update to the iPad app last month, so update your app if you haven't already (version 2.0.2 should have the last of the bug fixes for the release version, so it's completely safe now).
Madness
The chosen theme for this month is madness. (You'll just have to vote on Hands and Secrets next month!) All hail insanity. Or anger. Your choice.

October Palette Knife Contest
Thank you for entering the September Clouds contest, and get your palette knives and paint tubes ready for this month's theme, while your hardworking ArtRage staff take a break from the upcoming ArtRage for iPad 2.0 update (coming next week!) to admire your peaceful skyscapes.
The Palette Knife
The chosen theme for this month is the palette knife. Whether you use the palette knife tool to paint a marvellous impasto or to blur all your watercolours, or carefully paint a pile of palette knives is up to you. Just make sure we have some idea of which one it's supposed to be! (If you paint a gorgeous painting of a tree and we can't even tell if y
