Perhaps when I finally have funds for a Wacom Cintiq, I'll go back to desktop since it's not like my CSP license will disappear from my desktop anyways. You can also get a huge discount during summer sales or black friday for the one time payment too! As much as it's more cost-effective to go back to desktop, I prefer the portability and direct screen time drawing on my iPad. That's about $59.88 or $95.88 annually, whereas it's $49.99/$219 for one time payment on desktop. On desktop, it's a one-time payment but on iPad, it's $4.99 (Ex) and $7.99 (Pro) a month. Size and layers limit (because the iPad can't handle the amount of data) I have CSP (EX) on my laptop, which is what I used a year ago and then once I bought my new iPad last year, I've once again installed CSP (Pro this time) on my iPad. It's a steep learning curve if you're a beginner at digital art but once you get the feel for it, you'll be using CSP like a champ! I also feel like it's easier to work on comics there since the entire program is geared towards manga creation (although I draw in webtoons style). I'm most familiar with the brushes and tools from there since I first started with it 3 years ago. I mostly just use Procreate when I do color sketch commissions since I'm not planning on taking it to the next usual phase (line art and adding color to the line art).Ĭlip Studio Paint Pro for literally everything I do. I got an iPad Pro earlier this year and Procreate is interesting, I was able to do a whole page there once (not the text portions however) but it was a bit of a challenge. Sometimes it feels like a bit much but, eh. Then itts baaaack to Photoshop for the final bit of dialogue/text, etc. Theeeeen it's back to Sai because of that stabilizer again where I can add some flat shades easily. Then it's off to Photoshop to line up all the panels and do simple flat colors. Their stabilizer for the line art is also fantastic for getting some crisp line art. For the finer line details I jump to Sai.

It's steady stroke tool has been a godsend as far as clean line art goes. Maybe it's the copic marker brushes? I also so a lot of the line art here, a thicker outline of any human figures and anything that doesn't require finer details. I sketch out my pages on Sketchbook Pro - Sketching literally feels the best on this program for some reason.
