What app for drawing?

[blackcrowcrowd]

Ive been using ibispaint, but the ads and other inconveniences (ex; unable to channge background) are getting on my nerves. Im considering on buying procreate since im using sn iPad. Thoughts?

I’m a Procreate user, so I’m biased. Plus, I would know more about it, in case you have any questions. But ibis is great too, from what I’ve seen, and plus it’s free.

Krita is King.

I see... personally, have you ever tried ibispaint? What do you think is the most obvious difference between the two? I've heard that procreate feels smoother when drawing(?). And yeahh it's free but looking at the price I reckon that if it's pretty good I'll probably be more happy than if I spend that amount of money on buying other stuff in the long run.

Krita is King.

I just looked krita on google and it looks like clip studio paint? Also, why?

I use ibis.

Aye, me too (for now)

I’ve only used it a few times… on my phone. Back when I didn’t have an iPad, and just drew with my finger. So I’m not a good person to ask. But I definitely give Procreate my approval! Tons of functions and great quality, if you’re willing to spend that one-time price to buy the app (more if you want to buy brushes online, but there are plenty of great free packs as well).

Try them out and see what works the best for you.
CSP is the closest to ibis ig, but more functions.

Krita is different handling but nice standard brushes, also very intuitive with animations.

PS more and more complicated. But the options for photo manipulation are endless

Procreate I don’t like cause iPad and ipen. Dislike the slippery surface and the sound of pen hammering in the surface. Biased to Wacom pen.

Paint tool sai also good program, only worked with the light version 1. very similar to CSP.

as a amateur, KRITA.

I like Clippaint studio. It goes on sale once in a while. I remember picking it up for $15 bucks. I did eventually upgrade it for the animation feature.
For free stuff, Krita is great. It has an easy to use animation feature. Same for Fire Alpaca. For vector graphics, I recommend Inkscape.

putting a vote for Krita, it's pretty good, you can customize your own paint tool or edit images in there and there's also a dedicated animation section. Only con is probably not user friendly as in it's complicated to use. (psst~ also you can change the background)

 

[Hans.Trondheim]

Ah yeah, I draw on paper, scan, and color in Photoshop CSBootleg.

I can't draw straight in app; my hands are shaky.

My lecturer always used Photoshop for illustration and Krita for animation.
Krita is free and open source, so learning animation is great, yet the shortcut is different than CSP or Photoshop.
Paint Tool SAI is great software for illustrators. The brush is easy to modify, and the UI is easy to adapt.

If you prefer to go in a cartoon style and not use an iPad, you can use Toon Boom. Toon Boom is a standard industry software for cartoon animation studios. The tweening and rigging are more expanded and complex. Most Disney animated series or other cartoon series use Toon Boom.
If you want to try how Ghibli uses digital painting or animation, you can try OpenToonz. It's an open-source software, and it's based on the software Ghibli used, ToonZ. The best feature of this software is recognizing the line of a sketch. Basically, you have a sketch on paper, and you scan it. This software can recognize the line of it and immediately make a trace layer, so you don't need to trace by yourself.

Most of my friends used CSP. The brush, the store, the animation, etc., are great. Even though they started to learn how to animate with Krita, when we started to produce something, we used CSP as standard.
