Whats your go to program?

[CalimonGraal]

I've been using Paint Tool Sai for pretty much everything including my pages xD (Though I've been wanting to move to Clip Studio Paint for pages but I haven't been able to really get a comfortable enough process for making them in it Dx )

//pretty much dependant on SAI hurr

I've been using Photoshop since the old 7.0 version (before all the CS madness). I'm currently working with a CS4.

(And every time I try GIMP I end crying in the ground. Sorry, but I can't handle that interface :/ )

I don't think my tablet does sensitivity at all. Or at least I can't find any controls for it in or out of GIMP. It's an old Bamboo Fun, and it barely does anything fun.

EDIT: I checked, and other tablets have sensitivity controls in GIMP, so I would have to say yes.

(But it lets me draw and erase, that's enough to make me smile)

I also used a lot of things the most I got expert in is photoshop but now for sketching and creating artworks I no use artrage and I do the editing on photohop, artrage and photoshop come hand in hand btw. I mean almost all the control shortcut is the same.

Loving how almost everyone seems to use Manga/Clip Studio for comics.

@eagle1 and woah, comic life 3 sounds pretty intense. I might look into that just because of curiosity. I love looking into new programs.

I use Manga Studio 5.
I started off traditionally, but switched to digital, as I found it much faster to complete the pages.

Its an awesome program, especially when you can find it on sale almost every month. I always found sketching weird in Clip Studio, I think it might have something to do with the stabilizer thingy, even when I turn it down it still feels like it is on.

[eagle1]

Did I mention that it will allow you to export as images, PDF, CBR, or web-optimised images? And you can export the whole book at one time. And it is also a comic scripting programme.

I do all of my writing inside CL3, my drawing in GIMP and the workflow is wonderful.

(Keeps me sane)

[KreativeConfusion]

@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.

[shaylafarley5]

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?

[KreativeConfusion]

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.

[demthorshie]

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.

[sannali1520]

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.

[aspiderjonny]

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.

[Cade]

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.

[zoonland]

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.

[butterflyconcept]

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.

[Shanny8]

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.

[zoonland]

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