ArtRage Tutorial – Stencils Saltar al español One of my favourite ArtRage tools is the stencil, if you know how to use them they can be a very powerful tool.
Although I don't normally use the standard stencils that ArtRage has, I've come up with a way of giving a little texture to my artwork by using stencils.
All you need is a good texture image, in black and white and with a very high contrast, then just bring the image as a stencil by going to Tools > Stencil Options > Select Stencil From Disk.
When you bring an image as a stencil the black part becomes transparent and the white is opaque, the grays become different levels of opacity. Now you just need to paint on top of the stencil, and the paint won't go through the opaque part of the it, leaving a distinct texture or shape, like in the next image.
The stencil can be inverted too, this is especially useful to put a higher contrast between the shapes or just using different colors without mixing them and ruining the texture.
Of course You Can Also rotate, flip, and scale the stencil too.

English Tutorial ArtRage - Stencils
One of my favorite tools are the stencils ArtRage, if you know how to use them are a very powerful tool.
Although not normally use the standard stencils have ArtRage, devise a way to use them to give a little texture to my work. All
what is needed is a good texture image, in black and white with high contrast, then just bring the image as a stencil to go to Tools> Options Stencil> Stencil Select From Disk.
When you bring an image as a stencil, the black part becomes transparent and the white is opaque, gray transform into different levels of opacity. Now you just have to paint over the stencil and paint will not flow through the opaque, leaving a distinctive texture or shape, as in the picture below.
The stencil can also be reversed, this is especially useful for putting a contrast higher among the forms, or just use different colors without mixing them and ruin the texture.
Of course, you can rotate, flip and scale the stencil too.
