Recently Medibang launched an drawing app on android called "Medibang Paletta" and its pretty great, considered that procreate is the most use drawing app and not available on android.

For some reason, nobody is talking about it...

Questions for you all!! URGENT!! I am trying to make some example pieces to show I can make children's book illustrations on Krita. I want to be able to print these as an actual children's book if I ever get there, but for now obviously i'm just using them as examples for my portfolio. I do want everything to be print ready though.

I came to the conclusion that 10x12.5 inches should be good enough to accomodate a 8x10 print.

However, confused a bit on the other requirements. Would appreciate input.

How should I format if I want to print a children's book illustration? AGFA SWOP STANDARD or chemical proof? and also, cmyk or sRGB? I'm slightly confused on the best formatting combination to use. I want this to be print ready. Thank you in advanced.

EDIT: i realized when you select SRGB that there are TONS more colour profile options. if i'm supposed to select that...then what do i select as my colour profile? so confused! i read tons of articles online but i'm not sure if i get it still. I've always had trouble with this.

Hi, I'm someone who's drawn with my phone the whole time so I'd like to know if there are any apps you'd suggest for beginners to draw or animate on pc . Like anything other than ibispaint and blender.

Edit: I'll be checking out all that have been recommended till now thank you so much.

Hello people,

My sister is trying to digitize some simple drawings she already made on paper.

I’ve tried two different apps so far. The idea is to import the photo as a background, trace over the lines, and then export the drawing as a clean digital version with a transparent background (without the original photo).

The problem is that every app I’ve tested puts this feature behind a paywall.

Does anyone know of a free iOS app that can do this easily?

I would say I'm alright at art, I do it for fun and learn a bit on the side. I may start doing something where I get a reference, put grid over it, and trace it square by square. After that, I added all the details, etc. I just want to make something that i can proudly say, "I did it myself," and post it online.

Hi, I’m a concept art student and I’d like to improve my use of color. I wanted to know if the book *Color and Light* is suitable for digital art or if it focuses more on color in traditional painting. I’d also like to know if it includes any exercises for practice.

I'm thinking to start monetizing my art through my online store, but I'm concerned it would get stolen or duplicated since technology can do everything now. My art is mainly digital and I'd like to make merchandise from it, I just couldn't bear if I found it duplicated at temu or shein. Is there someone experienced with this?

Trying to find a good free art app. Just not Krita.. I don't like that one. (I can't figure out how to change the size of my imported images on it, and I usually do paper sketch to digital art if i want to color something in, so that is REALLY important..)

Please, stuff that's easy to understand. The only apps i'm familiar with are IbisPaintX on mobile and Adobe Illustrator, which aren't free on computer. Thanks!!

I've been observing this on other social media platforms, and it seems like people don't like jelly art. Why?

I’ve recently bought a new iPad and I’m now trying to find something free for drawing and I know that procreate is kinda cheap and doesn’t require any type of in app purchases or subscriptions but I need something free to understand whether I really do or do not need to purchase procreate

Or maybe suggest other good drawing software for iPads (this is the edit)
