Art programs


Kestrel

Recommended Posts

I need a new art program. I currently use Photoshop.

Here's the thing, though. I can't get SAI because I own a Mac. I have Firealpaca but its really.. not that good. I would like something similar to SAI but works on a Mac machine. Preferably free.

I've used Gimp. No. Not what I want. Its. Ew.

I used it for quite some time before getting Photoshop. Will never go back. There was no line stabilizer, and that is mainly what I want now. Smooth, clean, vector-y style lines without having to learn Illustrator. Gimp was like.. lesser Photoshop.

[Edit]

Have been fooling with FireAlpaca a bit more. Its interesting. My program was outdated, so I updated it. The new features are nice for lineart. Might keep using it.

Has anyone heard of Manga Studio? I've heard its okay but I want to see for myself, maybe. Might get the free trial.

Might also install a VM on my Mac for SAI.

For just drawing I generally use Krita or MyPaint (both free), but they might be less of what you want as far as smooth clean vector-y lines though I'm not sure. Best if used with a Wacom device or similar. And I agree about GIMP. At least for Windows the UI is awful. Paint.NET I've used a lot but it isn't as advanced.
