WHAT IS LACKING IN YOUR DRAWING PROGRAM?
9 years ago
Commissions areOPEN!
I have a developing idea about drawing programs and I have a few questions for you! Please fill out the form below!
What drawing program do you use?
What do you use often and like about the program?
What do you dislike or find difficult about your program?
What do you think should be added or is completely missing with your drawing software?
Other comments? 
What drawing program do you use? Paint tool SAI
What do you use often and like about the program? The stabilizer! And the brushes are nice and crisp, not blurry!
What do you dislike or find difficult about your program? Drawing straight lines. My other program has a tool to draw a perfectly straight line, a perfect circle or a perfect rectangle.
What do you think should be added or is completely missing with your drawing software? Straight line tools!
What drawing program do you use? Autodesk Sketchbook Pro
What do you use often and like about the program? Good for sketching, has tools for straight lines, circles and rectangles
What do you dislike or find difficult about your program? The brushes are blurry :/
What do you think should be added or is completely missing with your drawing software? A pixel or binary tool, crisper brushes.
You can see it here in this image.
Whacky, I'll have to try that out, thank you!
What do you use often and like about the program?: The brushes and textures, the selection wand and lasso tool. The stabalizer. What i like the most about the program is how straight forward and easy to find everything is. Everything is labeled, and you can very easily edit the settings to fit your needs.
What do you dislike or find difficult about your program?: I wish it had more textures to use and an easier way to use them. This thing is not the easiest when it comes to creating backgrounds.
What do you think should be added or is completely missing with your drawing software? : A RULER. Also cutout shapes, like in ms paint. ex. star, circle, triangle. A symmetry thing would also be a nice touch, like what krita has. Oh, and a way to add text easily. My handwriting is abysmal and i have no other programs that can add text to pictures without ruining the quality.
Other comments?: None i can think of right now.
Sai lacks a function to turn me into a better artist.
Needless to say I'm outraged.
I mainly use Sai. The next program i would use is Photoshop. What does Photoshop have for me that Sai doesnt have ?
Effects, Filters, a tool with which you can do a gradient effect, THE BLURRING THINGS (to make things like the bavkround blurry or in a running movement) i really miss a thing like that in Sai....
And Auto save... Sai is definitly missing that.
What i looooove about sai (which is one of the huuuge reasons i prefer it over PS) is the Stabilizers. Theyre soooooo helpful and im sure most people agree here ahhh
Id be lost without them.
What do you use often and like about the program? I use vector layers for lineart, and raster layers for shading and coloring. It's a great combination that I didn't really have when I used Photoshop.
What do you dislike or find difficult about your program? Not much really, I'm probably doing the very roundabout way to getting some things done, but I eventually have found better ways of doing them as I experimented.
What do you think should be added or is completely missing with your drawing software? A backup save feature similar to what Microsoft office has, had my computer crash a couple times when I was saving in Clip and lost a couple hours of work because of it. A bit more clarity on what things do in the UI would be nice as well. It's no where near as complicated as Zbrush is, but I find myself avoiding certain menus because I have no clue what they do.
What do you use often and like about the program? i like how easy flat coloring is and how nice my lines can look
What do you dislike or find difficult about your program? it has fairly limited features unless you get brush packs. and i have a hard time getting my lines to look smooth enough sometimes.
What do you think should be added or is completely missing with your drawing software? what i would LOVE in sai, is for a rotate feature that's like a 3d rotate.. or something. like, if you wanted to rotate a limb into another position other than just what a 360 circle provides. and would include squash, stretch and perspective aids. but maybe i'm just lazy :v
