Best drawing software

[MolochHD]

Hi all

Soo ill be getting a wacom tablet and I dont know what software to get. Should I get like the autodesk sketchbook pro, or like photoshop or should I go with Krita? Ill be using it for drawing, paintjng, sketching. I would like some photo manipulation possibly.

Hard to say i my particular preference i use Illustrator and Photoshop mixed up since i do Digital Art myself but to be honest i started with those and haven't had the opportunity to check other programs

Hello

I've used Photoshop CC, Manga Studio, Corel Painter, Sai and Sketch Book Pro.

Photoshop CC is the most difficult but very versatile and well received not to mention expensive.

Corel Painter is very fun, intuitive, easy. It's great if you don't want to waste time figuring out Photoshop although it doesn't have as many fancy features.

Manga Studio is funnily enough not only for Manga, and is fairly easy to use, I personally like Corel Painter more.

Sketch Book Pro was my least favorite very "clunky".

And lastly Sai, it reminds me of Manga Studio but doesn't work with two Monitors, and is quite cheap (It glitches between both Monitors).

In conclusion, Photoshop is widely used among the Pro's and Corel Painter easy and fun.

Hope this was of some use. Also see if you can afford a Medium-Sized Tablet get it, the Small is in my opinion too Small unless it's for a Laptop.

I'm not a great Artist but at least it's somewhere in the ball park.

If needed primarily for high-end drawing but with photo-editing capabilities, I'd get CorelDRAW Graphics Suite:

Be aware that painting may require separate dedicated software which provides natural painting tools.

Im getting intuos pro medium. So photoshop is the way to go. There are like different corel paint versions. Which one should I go with. I dont want anything expensive. Autodesk sketchbook pro is the cheapest I think
