What do you use to draw?

[Lev404]

What tools do you use to Draw and what programs do you use?

[BreakingChalk]

Paint tool sai 2.
I'm trying krita too, but, still struggle to find the best configuration for me.
My tablet is a Wacom Intuos Draw

[ButterflyEmpress]

I use clip studio paint and an xp pen screen tablet. You don't necessarily need a screen tablet that was more of a want purchase. You can draw digitally with cheaper no screen tablets that are under $100.

Clip Studio Pro for the desktop is a one time purchase of $50 which is great if you want to avoid paying indefinitely for Adobe software. I've been using it since 2015 and its still great plus it has an asset store with plenty of free tools for comic making

Old school traditional artist, here.

I USED to have an old, cheap tablet, and when I did, the program I used was Photoshop CS2. (Which I still have-- I use it for scanning and editing my traditional work.)

[GingerLoge]

@Scarlet_Cryptid you're so organized! I love Sakura Microns, I use them too when drawing traditionally (plus ink and dip pen). Just looking at all your copics gives me satisfaction, even if I'm not great at using them

My comic's entirely done in Clip Studio, with a XP Pen screen tablet.

[Scarlet_Cryptid]

I have the advantage of getting my hands on an old pen rack an art supply store was getting rid of-- it goes a long, LONG way to organizing all of those markers and refills. I also keep a swatch book of all my colors and color families, so I know what I need/am using at any given time. Otherwise I would get so, soooooooo confused.

[GingerLoge]

It's useful and nice to look at, too!

[BLTX]

I use the very untraditional google drawings/google slides. It is by no means the best program, but it's what I'm used to, and with the right effort, you can make some really cool drawings with it.

[Lensing]

Traditional:
No name pencils,
Staedtler & Micron fineliners
Copy paper

Digital:
Xpen22e
Autodesk Sketchbook for sketches
Photoshop for portraits, everything that has to be 100% accurate like posters, flyers, album artwork
I suck at coloring but I will probably do it in Clip or Photoshop

[river121693]

I use a gaomon pd1560. Probably the best 300 bucks Ive ever spent. The color isn't the best but the thing does its job like a champ.
And I invested in EDIT: Clip Studio Paint EX! for all my illustrations. Their "save in book format" feature saves a lot of time.

[darthmongoose]

I have a wacom intuos medium tablet and a copy of clip studio running on a decent but not top end msi gaming laptop and that's basically me set. I've been using Clip Studio since back when it was manga studio 3 for inking, and now it can do so much more, like all my colours and things, it's amazing! I still use Photoshop for lettering, but I hope in the future to not even need that step.

For my thumbnails I just use cheap sketchbooks and any old HB mechanical pencil. I always like to keep things simple when doing doodles and sketches.

[Lev404]

@darthmongoose you have my dream drawing setup lol

[Nada]

I have to use the resources I have at hand, I am in a duality between Ibispaint and Photoshop... they are my friends, my colleagues and my assistants... I used to draw by hand... but it was a loooooong time ago.

[Sethstiel]

I use Clip Studio Paint EX

[iHateFridays]

I use medibang paint pro and a wacom intous tablet!

[Legendofgenii]

Photoshop CS 5.1 with a Wacom cintiq 22 (on an old Mac).

I have recently been sketching on iPad (procreate) which I'm really enjoying, but I don't feel as confident working with this for fully finished things yet.

[Lev404]

how does that even work, how can you work draw on google slides, there are many free drawing apps which are perfectly usable

[Quinvert]

I use a wacom cintiq 13 and aseprite as my drawing program, although prior to that I used clip studio paint. If I need to quickly draw ideas down I just use paper/notebook and a pen.

[Shanny8]

I use Clip Studio for the basic creating/drawing of my comic...I've been using Photoshop to color, but in cost cutting & saving measures, I may be letting the subscription PS go and use CSP for colors(especially more so since you can now import/convert Photoshop brushes to CSP). I use Illustrator for lettering...

For the longest I used a medium Wacom Intuos [non screen] tablet until last year when I bought a Huion 22" screened tablet for myself as a birthday present. I had the Intuos for 6 yrs so I decided it was time(I gave my Intuos to my nephew; he likes to draw as well).

Clip Studio Paint on my Wacom Cintiq and Pen ran on my Mac Mini.
