My personal views on art software as a hobby artist

So lol the next art post is text based.

But considering this is my art account and art related I figured that this post should go on this art blog.

But aware these are my own views and other artist views may vary.

Ok I swear I'll try to upload some art on this blog soon!

So what I look for in a art program (free or paid) when I draw stuff

For colored illustrations

Be able to draw straight into the program or process lineart from tranditional media well

To be able to fill color with the bucket tool on different layers with ease

To be easily blend/render coloring

For manga/comic panels

Make panels easily

Apply tone easily

Have a lot of free use/references/assets (ie backgrounds) to be able to be used

Have a good text insert tool

General

Be able to transfer illustrations back and forth easily (ie from ipad to laptop)

Have a good basis of tools, ie brushes, line tool.

Bonus points if they have a good intergrated soical media platform.

So I was going to go through some art software (free and paid) that I currently use for my illustrations, go through some postives and negatives.

Before that..

Software I am not mentioning

Photoshop (because I think it's too difficult to render plus I mostly use it to alter image sizes)

Gimp (never used)

Krita (Never used)

Sketchbook (hardly used)

Many other programs I don't mention

Medibang Paint (Mobile + Desktop, Free + paid)

I feel like this program does'nt really get a lot of attention. It's free and always requires so many "updates" but it's a program I use a lot currently. Mostly on ipad I use this program.

Positives

Really easy to draw on and simple to color on

Bucket tool is the best in this program works on every layer

The text tool IS AMAZING to use (I use it currently for my fancomics)

My artwork looks really bright and colorful when I finish coloring on this app

Negatives

The uploading on to their soical media platfrom is bad

Cloud upload is a little slow/glitchy

Text tool needs online/internet to work

The desktop version is not as good as ipad version

Not good for drawing manga/comics

When online, ads are really annoying

Color blending/rendering is not really good apart from using the watercolor brush

Even though there's so many things I don't like about this software. I USE THIS PROGRAM A LOT. I think it's been 3-5 years snice I've used this program up to this day. Still very under-rated this program is.

IbisPaint X (mostly mobile but there is desktop, free + paid)

The "alternative" to procreate for android users. I don't see many users talk about this program neither.

Positives

AMAZING for manga/comic drawing. It's my current default program to draw my fancomics right now

Screentone layer is amazing

Really good bucket tool, works on different layers

Good resources/assets for manga/comic creation

Negatives

A pain to transfer files back and fourth, snice this program is mobile exculsive (unless you pay for desktop)

It's not really good to do colored illustrations on (no good blending tools, no dual colors can be used)

Text tool is not good.

A new program I came across and I honestly was SO IMPRESSED with the manga tools that I bought the ad free version. I honestly recommend this program for manga/comic creation over clip studio paint.

Procreate (paid and on ipad only)

Speaking about Procreate I have it! I also don't use it as much as Medibang + Ibispaint lol. I honestly think procreate is over-rated.

Positives

Animation is the most simple and easy to use (I did my own test animations on them)

Good customisation with brushes

Good blending tool

I like the timelaspe function

Amazing color palette creation

Negative

THE AUTOFILL/BUCKET SUCKS BAD (the main reason I hate drawing on this app, every drawing I do I have to color in manually like a 5 year old and it takes me ages to finish a drawing on this app)

For some reason every drawing I do on this app my colors are dull and washed out compared to medibang

Transfering files back and forth is a pain as well

I mostly don't use procreate because for me the bucket tool NEVER works on my lineart (even setting reference on the layer) which results on me keeping the drawing simple because I have to manually color every section myself. I don't understand why it's so popular. I rather use medibang than procreate for my drawings.

In my view apart from it's animation features it's not really worth the price. Considering I bought it and hardly use it.

Paper by WeTransfer (Free + paid, on ipad only)

I BARELY see any artists use this app, I think I might be the only person who uses this app lol. It's got good/bad features and I still use this app for rough ideas/doodles

Positives

AMAZING organisation of art (can make unlimited journals with pages to add to them)

Can hold unlimited art pieces, don't have to name files.

Good color mixing/color picking

Takes little space on your device so I hold all of my doodles in here

Negatives

Barely/never updates

Outdated/limited tools

BAD AT MAKING FINISHED COLOR PIECES OR EVEN COMICS

NO LAYERS

Color palette is REALLY BAD

washed out/dull look when doodles are finished

So because I DRAW A LOT, I use this app to draw rough doodles/ideas. I mostly use it as a art reference for my OC designs or dumb doodles like the one above. But yeah I understand why it's not popular, no layers is like art mode HARD. But I enjoy drawing on it.

Clip studio paint (mobile and desktop ,paid + limited free?)

I recently got this program because I heard so much about it from soical media. So..I acutally think this program is over-rated lol!

Positives

AMAZING for colour illustrations, bucket tool is great, color picker good, great blender/render

MASSIVE online/asset resources the most I've seen so far

My finished drawings look bright and colorful and just as good as medibang

Negatives

You have to pay monthly for ipad version/ newer version (which I don't have)

I don't think this program is good for manga/comic drawing (restricted screentone layer, limited material layer, bad text tool)

I am disapointed with the manga creator, I think it's BAD! I can't FIGURE how to add panel or even draw on a manga page, I had an headache trying to figure out the way screentone works. I personally think Ibispaint is WAY more simple and better program to create manga than CSP.

But I understand why it's good and worth paying for. The blending tools are amazing as well as resources/assets. I have yet to test the animation feature.

Programs I don't use much/anymore

Paint Tool Sai (paid, desktop only)

A program that existed before procreate or clip studio got popular

Positives

Working Bucket tool

Good blending tools

Amazing color palette creation

Negatives

limited assets/resources

only good for colored illustrations

I honestly did use paint tool sai for a number of years before moving on to medibang. I think this program is good, but it felt outdated as I moved on to other art software.

Overall

I just wanted to say this is my own view and so please don't get angry lol. I mean every artist is different and have their own program they like to use. This is from my own view.

I am not saying to use medibang more and use procreate less. It's just in my view sometimes I don't see why certain programs are more popular than others.

Don't take this as advice on what art program to use either. I don't know just use the one you like.

does it matter that ArtViewer hates me if they post every show that gallery from isntreal has all the time? like they have no morals or standards

Repost from artist Katerina Belkina @thebelki ・・・ When a random photo becomes an inspiration and an idea for the future work. I had it several times already. Sometimes I don`t see possible options and new angles as I can`t imagine them. Meanwhile they can be very simple and it`s necessary to change the position of the camera or composition to find them. The more you try, the more options you have. There is no secret about seeing in a special creative way. They say that a certain author (film director, artist, composer) has an incredible perception of the world and a unique view. However, if we have a look at the history of their development, we will realize that this ability has been developing since their childhood or early teens. You just need time to evolve. The ability “to see” developed in the childhood gives a head start when you are small, but somebody should help to attract attention to the necessary things, to focus on them. It`s never too late to practise that, however it`s hard to catch up with people who started developing this or that skill in the childhood and never stopped practising. This way, when I hear “when I travel, I try not to take photos or look at the screen as I will miss my life, looking through the viewfinder or at the display”, I am surprised. Because, personally, I notice and remember more when I have a camera and I`m looking for a shot. I feel life more vividly, I guess. It`s like I always have a partner that takes the hint and shares my impressions. Когда одно случайное фото из жизни, становится вдохновением и идеей для будущей работы. Так уже не раз бывало. Иногда я не вижу возможных вариантов или каких-то новых углов, потому что не могу их представить, а они могут быть очень просты и для их нахождения надо попробовать (покрутить камеру или композицию). Чем больше пробуешь, тем больше вариантов. Нет никакого секрета в том, чтобы как-то так особенно видеть.

The Last Night on Earth (2022), acrylic on canvas 100 x 120cm.

[collectionarchive]

Der Apparat shows a photographer taking photographs. We do not see what she is training her lens on, but we do see her every move, see her focusing her gaze on something or someone, see how the camera relates to her body, how the body—the apparatus of motion—turns toward the motif. The floor beneath her feet is covered with office carpeting, and she is surrounded by rectangular objects. Her attire in the photographs distinctly suggests some sort of public setting, while the basic studio surroundings mark the photographer’s professional habitat, in which she simulates various sites and scenarios with different connotations. Now and then, the reference to the scene of the making of pictures and the prosaic interior with wall-to-wall carpeting and props—traces of wear hint at past photo shoots—are oddly discontinuous with the urgency and latent violence of some of the scenarios: in some pictures, for example, the figure takes cover, donning a helmet and bulletproof vest to protect her body from serious injury.

As the title suggests, the central subject of the photos is the picture-making equipment itself—the apparatus. Its place in the logic of the picture shifts depending on how the standing, reclining, or crouching body interacts with it. The majority of the photographs stage the figure in the gear a photo reporter would wear to a major demonstration or in a civil war zone; in other pictures in the series, however, she is casually dressed. The successive changes of clothes, poses, and gestures with which the photographer integrates the apparatus into the scenes imposes a typological structure on the series, dividing it into sequences and, in some instances, sub-sequences. The detailed cataloguing of subtle distinctions renders the question of what or who is actually the object of her attention largely irrelevant; what comes to the fore instead are the signals sent by her moving body as it produces pictures and in so doing exposes itself to unseen dangers.
