I'm getting a tablet next month, which makes me very happy! But I figured I'll need some kind of drawing program. I've been looking at programs lately... I figure that if I'm gonna get a good one, I'm going to have to pay for it. So far I've tried Photoshop, SAI, Gimp and Paint.net...
Photoshop is alright, confused me at first... But I don't want to pay $180 for it. I'm already paying $150 for a tablet, that would be like... $320 just to do art work...
SAI... I really like SAI, but it annoys me that every time I save something I'm working on, it closes and then compresses all my layers. I basically have to work on it all day, or not turn off my laptop before I go to bed. These things over heat (even with my cooling pad...) and I dislike when it crashes. But apparently it only costs $55? I like it a lot better than Photoshop, AND it's cheaper...
Gimp... Ugh... I didn't like that one. Not one bit. Words cannot even describe how much it annoyed me...
Paint.net. It's actually pretty good for a free program, but I really dislike the amount of tools I get to use in it.
I have yet to try Open Canvas... Is it any good?
I might just go with SAI, but I'm not too sure about buying programs online.
