My current conclusion about SAI vs Clip Studio Paint:
CSP is definitely better for doing this actual comic project, but SAI still wins for general drawing by virtue of having a nice simple interface and being a much lighter piece of software.
I mean, for real, if you want a full-featured image editing program, SAI is not for you, but nothing - and I mean *nothing* - beats it for just... drawing.
@InspectorCaracal the other program recs i have for Just Drawing are Mischief, which has kind of a unique ability but i find it really nice, and actually the little free edition of Autodesk Sketchbook with Copic lmao
i actually quite like the latter (even if it's hard to find a download for it these days) bc by just giving you the "hey here's your limited color set of markers", it means i didn't get bogged down on MUST FIND JUST THE EXACT RIGHT COLOR, which is nice for quick sketches!
@wigglytuffitout I tried Autodesk Sketchbook on my phone/tablet but I just really hate sketching with a touchscreen. My finger does not have a point.
@InspectorCaracal oh jeez yeah that's a very different kettle of fish. i've only used it on my laptop where i have my graphics tablet with, like, an actual stylus, lol
