Drawing Program

Drawing Program is a small Windows application built specifically for helping you draw different designs or edit your images with the aid of basic tools.

The advantages of being portable

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.
You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to draw or edit your favorite photos on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

Simplistic looks

The user interface is kept clean, so you can focus solely on the drawing process. The editing utilities can be accessed only from the toolbar and this clearly represents a disadvantage. It would have been useful to access the main functions of the program directly from the workspace.
Files can be added in the main window using the built-in browse button, so you cannot rely on drag-and-drop operations.

Drawing capabilities

Drawing Program provides support for only a few editing tools. You are allowed to open pictures from your computer, provided that the file format is BMP, and print or export the generated design to the same file format.
What’s more, you can make use of a pen for sketching freehand designs and brush for filling in areas with different colors. You need to perform a right-click mouse operation and keep the mouse pressed while drawing.
You can choose between different pen styles (e.g. solid, dash, dot), alter the width and color of the pen, select the desired brush type (e.g. solid, diagonal cross, horizontal, vertical), as well as print the design.

Bottom line

All things considered, Drawing Program comes bundled with limited features for helping you draw, edit, and create images. It cannot compete with other powerful applications on the market, as it lacks support for features that could help you apply special effects (e.g. grayscale, sepia), make brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation adjustments, use undo and redo options, and activate an eraser, just to name a few suggestions.
