Intuos4 oh yisss
Since switching to MAC I’ve nearly only been using Manga Studio 5 - which is better for the type of drawing that I like doing.
As far as I can tell - SAI will always be the more superior program between the two, it’s very sophisticated but with a “no fuss” kinda air - I liked the tilt/rotate canvas tool, the fact that you can choose the “tip” or edge of the pen and ink tool (which are my fav tools), you can change the texture of your brushes, there is a LINE ART tool this is soo useful if you want to draw really clean lines…these are only a few of the things that firealpaca doesn’t have. What they do have in common though is a similar interface, and both are veeerry compact good if you want an easy painting program to take away with you on a usb.

Thanks for all the helpful tips. I’m trying out Firealpaca and Manga Studio 5 for the time being - we’ll see how it goes 8D
ah thank you! :D
just thinking about colours while I was waiting for dinner..dodoododooo
I say this to everyone but i recommend taking a few life drawing classes, this is really useful because you get the chance to practise drawing and observing the real thing in natural motion. If you don’t have the time to do that, you can try observing the movement of your own hands and feet
I tend to take a lot of pictures of my own hands in different positions and save them to use as reference later - if you look through my phone it might seem like I have some kind of weird fetish - alternatively you could google pictures of hands and feet, searching the type of action you want to practise drawing e.g. “hand waving, pointed toes, clenched fist” etc
^^^ I did a really quick sketch of my usual process when attempting different poses. As you can see, I try to break up the object into really simple shapes and angles, then connect the lines, only adding details at the end.
The more you observe the more you begin to understand how the body moves, and the more you understand how the body moves the more you improve on drawing it
8) good luck!
WOW WHAT’S THAT? the name sounds BEASTLY
