Can't Afford A Digital Art Program?

Journal Entry: Mon Mar 18, 2013, 8:59 AM


I haven't downloaded it because I'm working on my traditional art, but [link] was brought to my attention by the wonderful world of Tumblr, so I wanted to toss out there that link. I hear it's easier to  use, and is a mix of some of the higher quality programs on the market today. I know there's gimp, but firealpaca might be a good thing to test out if you can't afford to buy a "nicer" program.
(I say "nicer" cause I don't think it's the program that makes the artist, not because I think any one program is better than another. You can buy the world's best art supplies out there, but unless you practice, it's kind of a mute point. Just saying...)

I may give it a spin. My trial on Autopro Sketchbook 6 is about out and I can't afford the program just yet. Thanks!!! :-)

I've played with it a little bit. What I've seen so far isn't bad (at some point, I may still pony up the $60 or Sketchbook Pro 6...it's got a couple of features I liked). This should do for what little digital stuff I'm doing at the moment (long story). Thanks for suggesting it. :-)

<3 You're very welcome! I'm glad it's not too bad, either. I never do any digital drawing, but I figured it'd be a good thing to toss out to people who do. Good thing it doesn't suck, or else I'd feel like an idiot XDDD.

I started out on gimp! It's a good idea for someone who needs to learn the basics!

Ooh, thanks! I'm a bit GIMPy (heh heh), but I'll give this one a shot just for fun. :D Thanks!

<3 Yeah, I used Gimp before I got my tablet, and got all the programs that come with that. But from what I've heard, this is fun to work with too!
Let me know if you like it ;)

It's good for drawing, but if you want to photoshop an image or do other specialized things (like gradients, lens flares, fixing redeye), GIMP is the way to go. :D
