What art software you used to make your comic/art?

[wekanian]

I use Medibang Paint for the art, and put text with Clip Studio. If only Clip Studio for iPad is not subscription-based ;w;

I have been using paint tool sai a lot. I heard so many good things from other art programs but here is the big thing about it. it's hella complicated and it will make my brain overloaded. so I will stick with this for now.

I had photoshop, I still have clip studio but barely use it and I use autodesk sketchbook most of the time.
I love everything about autodesk except the coloring options which are better in photoshop.
One option is really important for me and that is zoom in and out, move & turn the canvas and autodesk
has that all in one tools which can be used with the spacebar, in clip I have to use different keys for that
and as I´m grabbing, turning and zooming all the time csp doesn´t work for me

I use Clip Studio Paint for just about everything! I love this program.

I use Photoshop, I'm too lazy to learn any new software, and I have some nice brushes saved for photoshop ...

[iHateFridays]

I use Medibang Paint XD Sometimes I use FireAlpaca tho

I use both Ibis Paint x and Artflow Studio on my smartphone to create all of my comics, you can get both of them on tablet and desktop, but Artflow is only for android devices.

I used to use Photoshop. Then I switched to a mix between Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint. Then I went full CSP. Now I use Procreate and just CSP for the final touches, paneling and text/balloons

I use only ibisPaint on my smartphone for all my comics, I don't have any other things other than phone..

[darryljoll14]

You used a smartphone to make comics? That must've beem difficult

[Aleus_arts]

Yes, it's really difficult but I have no other option..

I use a combination of Clip Studio and Photoshop. I do all my pencils, inks, and flats in Clip, then I use Photoshop for my rendering/lighting and lettering. If Clip Studio ever beefs up their lettering tool a bit, I may not even need to use Photoshop at all anymore!

[darryljoll14]

Nice! Must've been lots of work

I use Photoshop, mostly because I use it for work outside of comics. My files are also pretty big and Clip not only saves PNG's much larger than Photoshop, (and for as much as Adobe sucks, they are the best at compressing file size) and Clip crashes too much when I use it, probably because I'm queen of adding too many layers and huge ass brushes. I do have Clip and I use it for some things, I just don't like the feel of it, despite using it for years and years. So, everyone's different. Especially if your files are smaller, Clip can work really good for you although it's been a pain in the ass for me.

I use Clip Studio Ex for everything, though I used to use Photoshop CS6. I do wish Clip would improve their text tool and compression rates though

What if I told you that you can now import your PS brushes to Clip Studio?

It's true...in their update in December they introduced that feature.

@ninjashira same process. I pencil/ink in Clip Studio, color & FX mostly in Photoshop but toggle back to CSP for some FX features, then letter in Illustrator.

I use an old version of Photoshop. I do also own Clip Studio which is fine but I feel is lacking in features I use a lot in Photoshop. If you don't have any software and you are mostly doing comics/illustrations, I would recommend getting Clip Studio. It's cheaper and it often goes on sale.

As a person who has worked with many drawing softwares, I would say, for general digital art and illustration I would go with Photoshop and procreate as a second option, but for comics I highly recommend using csp ex at it's full, it comes with great features that make the work easier also in this new update it has a "webtoon" feature that is really useful.
Imo Brush sensitivity (not the air brush this is shiet) in csp is way better that many other softwares, so, for those who use multiple softwares for little things that can be done in one I would recommend to explore one at it's fullest and stick to it it saves time(important for comic artists)of course always taking into account what are you creating
Oh and I use csp ex for everything

[hjpetersonauthor]

Procreate for the actual art/drawing part, clip studio pro for lettering
