Paint Tool SAI
17 years ago
Well, my free trial of Paint Tool SAI is about to expire in a little over a week, and I'd have to say I'm well pleased with how it has handled.
I've been trying it here and there, thanks to a recommendation from
matrixcodex that it was a pretty decent painting app. And I'd really have to agree. I'd have to say when it comes to digital artwork, it handles better than Photoshop in some ways when it comes to line-work and the way some of the tools handle.
I will say that my artwork is looking a lot more like manga stuff after using the tools here. Mm, I'm guessing that is a reflection of my art style coming out more than the tools used, but I did find it kind of peculiar, and not really a negative thing at all. Just... Interesting.
Two things that the app seem to excel at are sharp line work and smooth blending of colors. Some of the brushes have a dual function of blending or adding more color depending on how hard you press with the tablet.
But anyways, just thought I'd bring this app up in case anyone was interested. Worth a look if anyone is interested in a low cost, light weight painting app with a well tuned set of tools.

For me, you've seen what little I do with Photo Shop. Honestly, when I do try to color things, it's usually a mix of 3 programs that I end up using, MS Paint, MS Photo Editor [comes bundled in the advanced installation settings of MS Office Suite], and Photo Shop 6.0.
