For any digital artists out there? I know a lot of people use photoshop but what’s a good free/pay once and it’s done software that you recommend? I’ve been wanting to get into digital art.Apr 17, 2021

I used to use Firealpaca since it was free. I bought Clip Studio Paint not too long ago now and have been really enjoying it! Theres so much it can do that I have yet to discover 😆 And as an added bonus, they frequently do half off sales
I used both Gimp and Medibang on pc for many years but since I got an IPad it has all been about Procreate
I use FireAlpaca and I love it! It's super easy to use and you can do animations there as well which is great! I do sometimes use sai when I wanna play around with brushes and textures tho
Procreate all the way. It’s around $10. However if you want a really good free one try out IbisPaintX
Procreate is a personal favorite of mine! I also heard that Paint Tool Sai is nice!
Procreate for sure. Its only 10€/$, and its so easy and with great features. True you need an ipad and apple pencil but like me, you can find those 2 hand for great prieces. I actually use the ipad 6 gen 2018 and I love it. It's like 500€ and I paid 170€ second hand.
Hi! I personally only use paint tool sai because i cant seem to comprehend more than that LOL. But anyways clip studio is a great option as it works on both ipad and pc and as i recall its like $49.99 for the pro version and its a one time payment. BUT if you absolutely beed to work in photoshop for some reason, photoshop cs2 is free
I used autodesk sketchbook for YEARS before switching to CSPaint, now I also mix in procreate 💖
Clip studio is great. Before I that I used Autodesk sketchbook which is free and I could still use it. CSP was more of a quality of life improvement. I only used photoshop for editing and dont see why people would use it for drawing since csp and other drawing programs exist.
I use pro create but I heard Krita is good for PC and I think it might be free? I used to use Paint Took Sai and GIMP when I was on pc
I use Clip Studio Paint but it’s like $49.99 for the pro version. For free ones Krita is good and I’ve heard good things about Firealpaca too
definitely go with Clip Studio Paint if you looking to buy. Krita is a good free alternative.
Free: Medibang, Firealpaca
One time payment: Sai and Clip studio paint (on desktop)
Clip studio paint for paid (procreate if you have an iPad)
As for free: medibang, fire alpaca, krita
Hello, I’ve been using procreate recently. I use an iPad for drawing and paid $9.99 for procreate. I’ve had it for a little over a year. Hope this help~
