Study from a photo reference

Just got myself an art tablet for the first time. I was wondering if anyone here could give me some good recommendations for what software would be best to use. Thanks!

Clip Studio is what google recommended to me a lot but I've seen some bad reviews. Closest I've worked with is procreate but that doesn't exist in mac :/ Any recs for mainly illustrations, comic/manga etc (I'm decently a beginner too) I don't mind paying, so long as its not a stupid amount

Looking to get my child a drawing tablet. They love drawing and painting and spend a lot of time painting on small canvases with acrylic paint markers lately. I've read all the reviews etc. but can't decide. Child says they "must" have a pen display but I'm not sure how much they really do or if they are being swayed by YouTube ads...a pen tablet does seem harder to use in my (non artist) opinion... Would it really be awful for a pre-teen?

Must have: no battery pen with tilt support. Touchscreen support for pan/zoom etc.

Don't really care about other specs other than I want it to work well enough that they don't get frustrated with it. Would be used on a Windows 11 desktop.

Budget $400

Preferably available in Canada, but we're heading to the states next week, so I could also order something and pick it up there.

Thanks!

I really would love to get into digital art again, I've been doing it for 8 years. Unfortunately though, my computer's really old, and last year it began to fail and it's just not useable. Drawing on it can get torturous due to the slowness of it all.

I really want to buy an ipad (and a pen) to be able to start my journey again. But I know nothing about them, nor the best and cheapest version.

I guess my goal is to just get one that's cheap online, probably refurbished. But I don't wanna accidentally buy a super old outdated model that won't run well or even take a pen.

What model do you guys recommend ?

I’ve been using my iPad for years but have picked up a pen (finally) and intend to get back into illustration again. I’m SO used to my iPad touchscreen tho. Is switching over to a laptop going to be difficult? And what accessory(s) do I need to add for tabletop drawing? I’ve been out of the game and haven’t kept up on the tech. Thanks in advance.

Anyone out there have any experience on the Landa S10 nanographic printing press? I'm currently running 1. Having issues with offset and matching PMS colors. Let us know any experiences, problems, or solutions . Just want to hear from other Landa operators .

Hello, i have 0 skills and experience in drawing but i have a tablet (Wacom Small CTL-472). Is it worth to start learning from digital painting and dont practice in traditional painting at all?

I am a researcher from Rotterdam. I am writing my MA thesis about how AI-generated images have been affecting artists and designers all over the world. I am looking for more people to bring awareness to this topic in academia. To contribute to this important research, I'd be grateful if you could fill out my 10-minute survey and share it with any other artists who want to share their opinions.

Hello,

I have been using XP PEN 22E pro for some time but it's too big for me and I had to sell it away. I am looking for something smaller, around 16 inches. My choices are:

• wacom intuos 16
• huion 16 pro 2.5k
• ipad (I dont know which one)

It would be primary used for 2D painting in Clip Studio Paint and 3D rendering. Budget is up to 500€. I am open for new propositions. Thank you!

My son is turning 14 and is into computer programming specifically game development. He asked for a digital drawing pad he can connect to his computer so he can make the graphics for his game. I don’t know anything about this so looking for suggestions. I’m gonna try and post a link in comments to one he saw and sent me but really neither of us knows if it’s any good or some cheap junk. All suggestions welcome. Also looking for a bonus suggestion for affordable program for graphics editing. When I was younger I remember photoshop was way to expensive and I don’t think that version I downloaded on limewire will still work.

My boyfriend is an amazing artist, he uses a sketchbook sometimes but he likes to start on paper and then put it on his phone it on his phone to make it look how he wants. Anyways, I don't know a ton about digital painting and drawing but i do know that he wants a drawing/painting tablet. I really want to get him one but we don't have any laptops or anything really so I need to find one that is relatively big and maybe has like a sd card or something so that it doesn't need anything else to be able to save and transfer images. Any reccomendations would be awesome, I don't mind price tbh I want to save and get him the best one I can find, I think it would mean a lot to him that way.

Picsart is not working I don't know why ....in my both phones it's just not connecting to the internet or something <sorry for bad English>

Hi all. I got an iPad and would like to get into digital art to draw characters, but I cannot seem to get a grip on Procreate. Are there any tutorials on youtube that you found helpful for the basics or just Procreate in general? TIA!

Edit: Oh, also! How do I install different brushes on procreate? Do I need another app to do so?

I just got a new computer and ASUS vivobook and was looking in to start drawing on there I found some paper screan protectors online but was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for stylusus and drawing programs. I’ve been doing digital art for 3 years now on procreat and am planing on going into art school so if anyone know knows what the industry standers for most schools are let me know thx

Texture drag is something I've encountered in a phone app called "Sony Sketch". It basically drags/stretches the brush texture in the direction of the stroke. Here's what it looks like

I love this effect, I think it does a great job at creating the look of physical paintbrush by being non-repetitive, textured and "strokey" while not smearing pixels underneath. Does anyone know of a PC program that has this option or something very similar?

Specifically for PC, I'm looking to treat myself to some new software so I want to make sure I know of all the tools out there

Photoshop

Krita

Paintstorm Studio

Realistic Paint Studio

Corel Painter
