@okellymx I've noticed that as well, it was a weird feeling after getting used to Photoshop's lack of a stabilizer but it's useful when making long lines.

@eagle1 I don't think I'll use gimp, I remember trying and never being happy with my lines for whatever reason, but CL3 seems like fun when I get some free time to play with it.

Photoshop for the sketching, Illustrator for the inking/coloring/detail.

I use photoshop right now, but I wanna learn how to use paint tool said and illustrator but they're so confusing. I just rely on photoshop to much. I also would like to try manga studios, is it really like photoshop?

its an odd mix between photoshop and sai. it's not as customizable as phothsop brushes (I think I usually just download mine, I don't make them) but it's pretty good once you get the hang out of.

It's a tie between Paint Tool Sai and Photoshop. I do the line work in Sai and the coloring/effects in Photoshop. I can't do my work without both programs.

For me it is MS5 because it is the first programs that i have used to make comics. But some of the others sound good to try.

I use Photoshop mostly because I know everything on how to use the program. I feel confident using Photoshop, especially for coloring. Though my art teacher actually said I should get Manga Studios.

I use Gimp for my editing. It's basically a free version of Photoshop and it works great! I draw all of my comics by hand and use Gimp to edit them and add color before also adding talk balloons and Text and uploading them. It's extremely helpful.

Photoshop for everything (minor fixes, color and lettering). I used to use Illustrator for lettering because I had trouble doing it with the older version of Ps I had (I don't remember, probably the 7.0).
I tried many programs like Corel Painter, Manga Studio etc. but I don't feel comfortable with them, I feel there's always something missing.

I think MangaStudio and Krita are the best programms to make comics.
I'm not sure which programm I will use more... cause both programs have advantages.

For actual drawing/inking- Clip Studio. For coloring- Photoshop; I will do more coloring in PS than CSP, but I will toggle between both to get the consummate finish I want. Lettering/designing logos- Illustrator.

I draw traditionally and then I use Photoshop exclusively, for coloring and lettering.

lunaartemisasama 2017-03-04 21:21:03 UTC #61

Photoshop because I just edit a little the drawing and put some text lol, also I am into web design nowadays so it helps. But once I tried Paint Tool Sai an I think it is a good option if you just want a program for making illustrations.

TheRabbit 2017-03-04 22:17:17 UTC #62

I'm using Clip Studio Paint when it come to drawing/colouring and Adobe Illustrator if I'm making a logo.

randomladyaj 2017-03-04 22:33:40 UTC #63

I use photoshop since it was the first art program that I've learned. I haven't really ventured much into other art software like sai and manga studio etc. I really should though.

hannahapatten 2017-03-05 00:36:24 UTC #64

I use Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop CS5! I use Clip Studio for my gag strips and PS for my paintings!

I guess we PaintTool SAI users are not serious comic makers.

AnnaLandin 2017-03-05 22:47:05 UTC #66

I didn't say that. There are plenty of SAI-users who make great comics.

It's just that I personally, when I make serious attempts at comics, use Manga Studio.

JayArgall 2017-03-05 23:08:10 UTC #67

Clip Studio Paint, aka Manga Studio. I used to use Gimp for basically everything, but it doesn't handle large files as well as CSP/MS does, so I switched over a bit less than a year ago.

somvi 2017-03-05 23:14:22 UTC #68

PS for layout/roughs
Clip Studio for final artwork
Illustrator for letters
If it needs to be in a book/PDF then I compile all the pages in InDesign

Most of it can be done in clip but it's easier to break things up like this when working in a team. Sometimes I'll work in clip but export a file in .psd to hand over to the colorist.
