Pixlr for fixing things up, Gimp for enhancing. So, if I don't end up deciding, well, I might as well have both and alternate when I need to (My money, so no complaining). I know both are for drawing with pads but I would also like to take advantage of using extra tools to get the job done. I'm more into just drawing pictures and doing some graphics design work at the same time. I know Clip Studio Paint id dominant in making Manga for sure but I'm not interested in making manga. (I don't have a pad yet but I'm tring both out with my mouse.)Īlso, I would like to know which program is best for what job as well. Making shapes and connecting them is hard in Clip Studio Paint and the Curve tool in openCanvas cannot be continuous. I've checked out the tools and the drawing methods for both are different. But I want a program that's like drawing on paper while having extra tools to take advantage of like drawing shapes and such. But for Illustrator, I have Inkscape as an Alternative but the interface or UI is kinda messy. For graphics design, I use Photoshop in school, but since I can't afford Photoshop, I use Pixlr and Gimp. I'm more open to use as many tools as possible. Ehhh, then I know why you're super duper bias for openCanvas. If you said yes to both, which is more like Adobe Illustrator? If you have, have you used Adobe Illustrator? Question, have you used Clip Studio Paint before? (T_T)\Īlthough, I already knew about the that feature though. You can get both their trials from their respective sites, so it's a matter of trying both out.īut problem is that OC is on sale on Steam.

50 bucks on ebay if you look hard enough. If you're feeling weary of that, look for a Huion H610 instead. And it has 2048 levels of pen pressure, which is the same as high-end Wacom Tablets. I happen to have one, so I can personally guarantee that despite it's price, it works great. It's kinda small, but for that price it'll work wonderfully for a beginner-level artist. You'll have a better experience getting those programs straight from the respective companies (faster updates, no need to depend on Steam if you need a reinstall, etc.).

Download 'em both, and try them out before making a decision. Now, as I said before, don't just take my word for it (I'm obviously biased towards OC). You may need to register for it, but no biggie. Just go to Portal Graphics' PGN Community (check OC's site) and browse around. Consequently, YOU can use this feature to learn some nifty techniques from other artists. with openCanvas, after you're done with a picture, you can save it as an Event file, so other people can load it up and see how you made the illustration, step by step. Now, since you're a beginner, openCanvas has a nice feature, called Event Playback. CSP in general it DOES feel more complete than openCanvas in terms of features, but I personally find OC's brush engine easier to mess around with. Look for CSP instead if you want to get updates faster. "Manga Studio" is just a western rebranding. You can get both their trials from their respective sites, so it's a matter of trying both out. In terms of software, I guess it'll mostly boil down to preference.
