Favorite Art Program to use?

I also use Sai uvu I've tried using photoshop a bunch of times but I can't seem to get the hang of it;;
A program for adding better effects is definitely something I need though, hmmm

 

I like to use Inkscape because I'm no good at drawing smooth lines with a brush/pencil/freehand drawing tool, I'm lazy when it comes to shadows/shading and I also prefer working with objects rather than pixels and brushstrokes.
I would give Sai a try if I had a tablet though...

 

Meh, I like to use Corel Painter or Inkscape, mostly becaus thats all I have and Adobe is WAY too overpriced with it's pointless monthly subscription (for me at least)

 

I use Paint.NET. It's easy to use and free as well. I've been using it for years now.

 

I recently started using GIMP, and it works just like an amateur version of photoshop.

 

I use paint tool sai too ! and photoshop to make effects.
Sai has a fluid brush , photoshop does not. Photoshop is good when you want make applat of you want use texture, pattern, texte etc.

Sometimes I use clip studio paint (haha, There was a good promo...) to make comics boxes. It's a little similare of paint tool sai to the brush, but it's totaly english, I had very difficulties to used it... (mais paint tool sai have a french patch).

 

I use Manga Studio 5 EX for my drawings, which I think is by the same people who make Clip Studio. It's great, but it cost me £70 to get it, so it's quite pricey! Manga Studio 5 is cheaper, but I don't think it can export in as many file types, I think Manga Studo 5 is only £40 on Amazon. I hope this helped >w<

 

I use SAI on occasion, but I do own photoshop and have been using that for about 10 years now. xD I did recently come across a program called OpenCanvas. It's really nice and is like SAI and Photoshop put together. xD You have to buy it, but I recommend it. o: It makes things a lot easier in terms of drawing and coloring. It even has a perspective grid. xD

 

I personally use Photoshop CS6 for most of my art related tasks, although I will occasionally use Paint.NET when I need to.

 

I use Sai and Sketchbook Pro a lot.

with Sai I barely use it because I like being sloppy with my drawings. I don't mind being clean and crisp with my drawings but sometimes I'd rather be a mess and that's why I enjoy Sketchbook Pro a lot.

But you know, whatever works to get my ideas out on a canvas.

 

SAI is an amazing program buuut I'm on a Mac and that version has no pen pressure so wuh. Nowaday I use either Fire Alpaca (as close to a working Mac version of SAI as you'll get) and Photoshop CS6, but sadly the latter doesn't have the sharpest brushes no matter how much you tinker with its settings. </3 So for drawing it's mostly Fire Alpaca with Photoshop CS6 for graphics and the like.

 

I'm used to photoshop and Illustrator. I can't do graphics on any other program other than Photoshop or Illustrator, I want to learn Paint Tool SAI though, looks like a pretty cool program.

 

I've always used Paint Tool SAI for my doodles, and previously used Paint.NET just for transparency effects before I got Photoshop CS6. Photoshop's a bit too complex for me right now, though, so I only use it for any transparency and brush effects that can't be done in SAI. ;; But I've been curious about Fire Alpaca ever since hearing of it, and will likely use it as a backup to SAI should there ever be any reason to.

 

My favorite art program to use is sketchbook pro

 

I use Clip Studio Paint! It's a great program, and SAI's unofficial port for mac isn't very preferable IMO. I don't think Photoshop is the best program for drawing, but that's just me.

 

Well, CSP was my first drawing program, so I can't really tell you much; I haven't tried enough other software to point out pros. and cons. However, I've had positive experiences with blending colors, and I heard that's one of CSP's strong points. I'd recommend it if you want to try something new, but it is a bit pricy.
