Hello! Fellow Artist here with over a decade experience with digital.
Having started out from traditional before, it took a lot of getting used to a digital workspace.
I can try and provide some tips to make your art journey smoother.
gaia_star My #1 recommended program is Clip Studio Paint.
It does cost some money but right now there's a 50% off Spring sale!
One of the best times to nab this program is during one of these sales.
I recommend the Paint Pro version not the EX.
Unless you're a professional mangaka/animator/illustrator, you won't be needing it.
If you lose your license, you can contact support, which is nice.
I didn't know that before and bought a whole new key..
You can also register your key on up to two computers, but only use one instance at a time.
This means, you cannot have the program open on both computers at the same time.
gaia_star Why do I recommend Clip Paint?
-Best workflow, once you get everything how you want it. (customizable, I can share my workflow if you'd like)
-Asset store!!! TONS of free assets you can download! (Some not working with the new update, until the creator updates it for the new release)
I can share my most used asset store brushes if you'd like.
I also use some paid ones that I can link you to, they're not too pricey but super amazing!
-Performance. You can adjust how much memory is allocated to the program based on the performance of your PC. (you can ask me if you need help)
This will make it easier to draw without too much lag, other than using a smaller canvas/dpi.
-Best UI of any program I've tried, and I've tried many, even Krita (tbh Krita is a nightmare for me because of how clunky the UI is, it's hard to focus on my artwork)
-Best brush UI in it's price range (Better than Paint tool Sai in my opinion).
Corel painter is the best but it's also.. over $500.... so not very accessible.
-Community! There's tons of people contributing on their site giving drawing tips/tutorials.
A trove of knowledge!
[Tutorial site] - Switch to English on the top right, it usually defaults to Japanese.
I tried switching it before linking, but not sure if it will for you.
There's much more awesomeness in this program but I'd be talking forever!
If you have any questions, about art, art programs or just wanna chat, you're more than welcome to quote me here or PM me!
Ah, side note. I also have the XP-Pen 22e! So if you have questions about it, you can also ask me about that!
I have some recommendations on how to get the pressure settings right for you.
It's different for everyone! Especially if you tend to be heavy handed or a light sketcher, I can help you tweak the settings to fit you, or at least get you started messing with it.
There's also a pressure setting you can use in Clip Paint for further customization.
Hope this helped and I hope you enjoy your creative journey!
