Looking for good substitute for Photoshop
Hello fellas!
Looking for good substitute for Photoshop:
Need to be:
-easy to learning
-not so pricy
-have a good amount of community (brushes etc)
Im totally newbie with digital. Rly like procreate for clean and easy workflow, but my iPad is kinda weak and small. Bought Xp-pen Ultra 16 4k already and looking for good app.
Beginner/Budget Tablet & Software Recommendations
Not looking for a dedicated drawing pad, but a full tablet that can run an art program with stylus support (like a budget equivalent of an ipad)
Looking for something $200 USD or less (plus a stylus)
Also looking for recommendations for illustrator programs
krita or clip studio?
I used Ibis paint on my phone for years and just started drawing on pc (like 3 months ago) using krita for being free, but i was thinking about buying clip studio... Someone already used both and can tell me if it is a good investment or there is any chance of regretting on the future?
Digital art mentor/course?
Hello! I recently got back into art after not drawing consistently for 6-8 years, and now that I've picked it up again I'm finding im struggling with some of the basics. I keep trying to find a place to start learning again but I'm feeling overwhelmed.
I'm looking for ether a mentor or a course that can help me cover the basics of drawing, more specifically with digital art. I thought learning this way would help eliminate the decision fatigue of trying to figure out where to start first.
I'm willing to fork over as much cash as a retail cashier can afford to fork over lol.
Thank you!
Can someone explain to me this one part of this speedpaint?
I watched a speedpaint and I’m kinda new to art so I’m trying to figure out how people do stuff, but I came across this one part where the artist says they put down flat colors in each layer and then use a multiply layer to give it a shadow effect, my problem is how he manages to then render the eyes and other parts seemingly with an alpha lock but without getting affected by multiply. Ive spent hours trying to decipher it but Im very frustrated right now and would like to know how they managed to do it
Line art rant
... my hands shaky... but only when i try digital. Tis so frustraiting to not have skill to draw what you want ☠️... how do u guyz deal with it?
New to Photoshop, does anybody have good resources to learn the software’s tools in the context of character design?
Essentially title. It’s just a pretty overwhelming software compared to procreate which has been my go to up to now. But I’ve moved to pc and so I want to know how to really take the most advantage of photoshop for digital art. Brushes, layers, masks, blending, etc
Is there an Android App that imitates Watercolor real well like Procreate?
The one thing I like about procreate is a feature where you can lay down an even wash by keeping the pencil to the screen never lifting. The technique can be illustrated here:

Thanks in advance!
