Art Programs
[ If you're wondering what program is what ]
[ PM ChiiDoLLx or the mule if you have something to add~ ]

✦ Krita
tab ✧ Price: FREE
tab ✧ TIP: Look at tutorials to learn this program.

✦ Medibang
tab ✧ Price: FREE
tab ✧ TIP: Look at tutorials to learn this program; it makes nifty backgrounds!

✦ Fire Alpaca
tab ✧ Price: FREE
tab ✧ TIP: Heard it's good for animating...

✦ Paintstorm Studio
tab ✧ Price: $19
tab ✧ TIP: Evocative Enigma: traditional media simulation program like Coral

✦ Clip Art Studio
tab ✧ Price: $50
tab ✧ TIP: do not buy full price, wait for their sale, which would drop the price to $20-25.

✦ Paint Tool Sai
tab ✧ Price: $50.60 (5400 JPY)
tab ✧ TIP: Split the cost with a friend, there is a warning label that tells you that you cannot exceed 10 downloads in 24 hours and 30 downloads in 31 days. So long you follow those rules, you can split the cost with someone and split up the download time to not get your license flag.

✦ Adobe Creative Cloud: Photoshop
tab ✧ Price: $20/mo
tab ✧ TIP: Get previous versions that is not locked by the Creative Cloud subscription, this programs is mostly for photo-manipulation and it's handy brushes. You do not need this program at all, but it is very easy to navigate your layers/folders/organizing/moving stuff around compared to Paint Tool Sai.
tab ✧ Another TIP: If you know someone who's a teacher, you might be able to get a teacher edition for much much cheaper in an annual price!

✦ Corel Painter (2018)
tab ✧ Price: $99
tab ✧ TIP: I don't know how, but it might be connection that my school have. I got this program for $15. So if you're in school, search around your Portal to see if you have deeper discounts. It's worth the fifteen US dollars, but definitely not one hundred lol.

:tab: ✧ [color=red]TIP[/color]:

tab tab REMEMBER!
With any art program you are unfamiliar with, you have to get used to it.
The program is a tool, it does not make the artist.
Time, patience, and practice is what will help you get better~
