Drawing apps talk

What is so good about clip studio paint ?

I've been using photoshop for a long time and then procreate for a year, still not a huge fan of this last one tho

Or you can take your head out of your ass and consider the fact that a). it's the only worthwhile drawing program for Linux and b). it just werks.

Yes.

Enjoy Recall and Photoshop auditing your files for "content moderation", stalker child.

The same day I see this on my store page.
Dunno, I might take my chances on this one since it's pretty cheap and not subscription.
Wait it's free and open source?
Well I guess the steam version is a way to support it.
(Though it's a retarded way to use the app since steam DRM.)

I also do not get the coping and sneeding since it's also available for windows.
I might try it out, seems like a reliable and simple program to use compared to GIMP or pirating photoshop.
Pirating software has gotten me into more trouble compared to games and fuck subscribing to that shit.

I love Krita COPIUM it's just as good as Clip Studio Paint COPIUM Dave Rapoza uses it COPIUM and best of all COPIUM it's totally free! COPIUM - The only good thing about Krita is the chrome brush.

Obnoxiously shilled by rabid poors who are too scared to just crack PS or CSP. Their marketing team aggressively pushes it on places like reddit and 4chan
Lmao linuxfag detected. It being the only functional software for your distro is not a win
Nooo they're gonna retroactively patch CS6 and Windows 10 to incorporate Recall noooo I'm so owned.

I fail to see any valid criticism that devalues the use of the app.
All I see is a buyfag meat-riding premium software.
Please provide information about the premium software you're dick-riding on and elaborate on things they can do better than Krita, or what they can do that Krita cannot.
List valid points instead of malding and using comparison for nothing.

I recommend giving it a go. While I am leaning on using Clip Studio Paint (just tried it out as of late) for mostly sketches and painting, I have quite the blast using Krita for vector art. I do not recommend using the animation function, The 5.2.2 build is shit at handling frames and it crashes a lot

I love GIMP
I mostly do editing rather than drawing though

What is so good about clip studio paint ?

As someone who uses CSP EX, it allows me to:

• Add new assets (IE: brushes, tones)
• Choose between creating an illustration, comic or animation
• Save your works on the cloud

Comics:

• Gives a 3D visual sneak peek for a comic you're working on.
• Options for speech bubbles, bubble tails, focus lines and speed lines.
• Turns scenery pictures into background tones for your comic
• Open multiple windows for each comic page to design individually
• Switch order of pages.

Personally, I haven't tried out CSP animation yet. As for illustrations, it's no different than Krita.

While I love CSP EX for making comics, I still have Krita on my desktop, because I can't let go of it. Part of me wants to return to IbisPaint on both mobile/desktop, but, I have to prepare to reaching for my keyboard when using it, lol. Oddly enough, I downloaded Medibang Paint last year to try it out, from what I've seen, it's a bare bones version of Krita.

This sounds actually great, i'm going to look forward to this softare and hopefully will like it more than procreate. I hope for the animation tool to be better ..
They give you a good amount of brushes then ?
Those comics features are actually crazy good.

Gonna talk android apps and which I've used.

I use roughanimator on android when doing bullshit animations. It's not really got any noteworthy features aside from it's intuitive timeline system (which I'm sure other apps have better systems for.) It's probably a bit overly simplistic with it's windows port though and you're better off exploring other options there. But it feels right at home on mobile systems and does what it needs to ok there. Also it does that fucking thing where it saves to Android/data which sucks.

I like sketchbook for a specific brush that just feels right to draw with. Like it somehow feels perfectly analogous to drawing on a shitty bootleg micron pen thats got a fucky tip on my android tablet. Aside from that I find navigating through the app via touch to be kind of obtuse. Deleting a selected area really ought not to be something you should have to google in my personal opinion. Overall the app is aight though.

Infinite painter has hands down some of the nicest pencil brushes I've ever used. But the worst brushes in every other department. And they're not really customizable.




Krita - on Android is kind of a mess and not well suited to this ecosystem. Haven't got the hang of it, might be me. I'm used to it on PC but not here. It's also unusable on Android unless you have a big android tablet due to the interface taking so much space. Once in a while you see it mentioned but never see anyone using it on Android unless to prove it exists.

Clip studio - look nice but the license system kinda pisses me off a lot. Lot of weird eccentricities with this software. Haven't used on PC to compare. Seems a little jumbled if you come from a Photoshop background. To me at least.

Superdisplay - is an important app because you can use your android as a Wacom tablet on windows, and is the smoothest option to do so, offering some of the fastest android USB c display software around. The problem is the guy stopped updating it and well it's buggy here and there now. Maybe always was. But Wacom drivers are like that in general. Try it for yourself and see if it works for you. Worked for me.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

...Krita. For vector art? With its one calligraphy tool and ultra-scuffed text editor? Please elaborate and, if possible, show results. I must be missing something here.

How friendly is Krita for beginners to digital art? I just got a chinesium tablet to see if digital painting is for me.

How friendly is Krita for beginners to digital art?

It's... relatively intuitive, I want to say. You don't need to delve into any dropdown menus or learn all the bells and whistles to begin drawing - remap a few functions, disable all the alternative invocation shit (via Configure Krita -> Canvas Input Settings; no idea why Krita needs two sets of key combinations for things, but it has 'em), maybe tweak the performance sliders and/or enable autosave and you're good to go.

Default brushes are all fairly straightforward, and you can easily find brush packs (called "bundles") online. Krita has two brush engines, which allows one to get pretty fancy with how a particular brush functions. It's easy to get lost in all the modifiers and settings, though, so my personal recommendation would be to figure out which basic brush works for what.

Been using it for 5-something years or so now; if you've got any specific questions, you are welcome to ask (or DM for a faster response).

I've used CSP exclusively for like almost 10 years at this point. It's no photoshop as far as the post-processing you can do goes, but It's a really solid tool for animation.

Spoiler: I made this in 2019 and will literally never finish it.

I've recently found out theres a port of Libresprite for android, which is a free alternative to Asesprite
(it has literally all the features of Asespite, same UI)

https://github.com/LibreSprite/LibreSprite/releases/tag/v1.1-dev

This is a really good one if you're into pixel art stuff/have an android tablet.

One of these days I'll get back to drawing on pc, it's bothering me how much of a limitation android actually is at times. But I uh, don't want to buy a new graphics tablet at the moment.

I like ProCreate, but I’ve recently tried Adobe Fresco for vector work. It’s like an easier, more coherent version of Illustrator, in a way. Just less features.
