The Pros & Cons of investing in any painting app over another are as varied as there are artists using them. It really comes down to what actually suits the needs of the individual artist.

To help decide though, there is a demo version of AR6 for Desktop you can try, to see if AR Vitae might fulfill your particular needs.
It can be found here: https://www.artrage.com/demos/
Whilst it dose not contain all that is now found in the latest Vitae version, all the main elements and tools of AR Vitae can still be found in it.
This page link lists some of what has been added to AR6 to make the current ARV: https://forums.artrage.com/showthrea...t-announcement
AR’s roots have always been in mimicking how you might paint with real world media. As such I think it has always proved popular with traditional artist crossing over to the digital world, as a lot of their past workflows can be readily adapted to it, making for a much shallower digital learning curve.
