SuperKids Software Review of Disney's Magic Artist Studio. In any case, it is time well spent. Users can produce freehand creations in this part of the program, using the mouse as a drawing tool, or using the companion SketchBoard Studio . Also available are a wide selection of pre-created backgrounds that can be added to the user's canvas with the stamp tool. Over 15 sets of stamps give users control of familiar Disney cartoon characters and images.
Users have the choice of coloring the scenes, or selecting an auto-color option.
Other tools include the Doodlemorph Tool, which allows kids to create original animations, the Shapemaker Tool, for perfect squares, circles and triangles, and the Sliders, which can make simple lines into unique creations. Finished masterpieces can be saved and placed in The Gallery , one of the studio areas. It is here that artists can produce slide shows by adding music and special effects to a collection of their favorite pieces. Users can also import graphics from other programs, scanners or digital cameras, or export works to include with other applications, or perhaps email to a friend. In the Lesson Area , drawing skills are taught to the willing and determined user.
