openCanvas, popularly abbreviated as oC, is an art program for Microsoft Windows popular among Japanese digital artists . Portalgraphics, the company that created it, originally released it as freeware, but moved to a demo/retail model starting with version 2. openCanvas is known for its unique blending style, something of a cross between Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter. Unlike many similar programs, openCanvas is specifically designed for use with pressure-sensitive drawing tablets, like the popular Wacom's digitizing tablets. It is designed from the bottom up to be a sketch program rather than a graphic design program. While it does not compete in larger markets and lacks many of the graphic design features of programs like Adobe Photoshop, it has quite a community following and is capable of work comparable to its competitors despite its small footprint. Further, despite having a minimal set of system requirements, it is not officially support
