This is a very easy to use software, I think. See the results.
I made some sample drawings, they were made very easily and in 3 - 4 step only.
This are simple are great looking (no professional touch here)

The images above gives you an idea as to what the software can do.
Let me tell you one more thing that the Sotware is way to fast to load, and is much much much similar to Photoshop, the only glitch is, the way the menu items are places is little difficult to find the right tool at first but once you get hold of it , its as smooth as silk to work with.
Some features are :
* Acrlyic has 13 Pallettes.
* Pallettes can be move anywhere in your screen and even to another monitor screen (if in case you have two monitors connected).
* You can scroll your document by dragging the ruler itself.
* New View ( similar to preview in word, but open in a new window)
* You can export or say save files in this formats
Adobe Illustrator format *.ai
Adobe photoshop format *.psd
(*.EPS format, *.PDF format, *.tiff format, *.jpg format, *.bmp format)
*You can insert images of this formats
