Hi! First i just wanna say your art is so beautiful and cute! Secondly, I read your FAQ, and i was wondering if A: Is Paint Tool Sai better than Photoshop(its the only program i have and use)? B: Does Paint Tool Sai cost money?? and C: Are the Cintiq's worth the money? I heard they're beautiful and are great for people who want to be professional digital artists(which I am really hoping to achieve) but I don't know if its worth $2,000? Help please? Thank you for taking the time to read this :)
hello! Aw, thank you, I'm glad you like it!! :°D ♥
about photoshop and SAI... well, I don't know? There are people who prefer use Photoshop, people who use Sai, other use corel painter, and other Manga studio. They are all wonderful programs, and everyone is different. I personally prefer to use Paint tool sai, because I like how it works, and it makes me do stuff that I can't do in photoshop (like the sharp lineart, or the way sai mix colors). But there are things I miss on sai, like a decent color adjust, level options and stuff like this. So I use both. If you want to find your program, you just have to try them! There isn't such thing like a "perfect" program, but there is the program perfect for you!And yes, Paint tool Sai costs, and it's like... 50$? It's very cheap, and the full official version is super cool (I used the cracked one for years, but it kept to crush after sometimes...)
And a cintiq worth always every single cent you put in that! I know they cost a lot, but there are also small A4 versions (12wx, and 13hd) that are... cheaper? Like 1000$, or less, if you can find them used. I bought mine from a friend, and it costs me half the real price and I was very lucky. It's the smallest of the family, but I swear, it's the most wonderful thing. Still, rememember that with a cintiq, you are not buying the talent too. Since it costs really a lot, be sure that digital art is the thing you really want to work with.... lately I'm seeing a lot of people who buy it, draw for a week, and then "meh", art is not my thing, and sajhfkg wHAT A WASTE! Btw, if you are not sure about a cintiq, you should try it. It's not like draw on a paper, and the pressure sensibility it's different... I don't feel any difference now, but I know some people feel it a little too "fake". It's pretty personal, I guess.
Well, I hope it could help you! Good luck in your work!!
