1 and 14? 1 because I'm looking for art software recommendations...

1. Art programs you have but don’t use?

Most of my unused programs are programs I used to use but no longer use. I use procreate now but I started out with Scratch (a site, which isn’t a art site lmao it’s a programming site so uh- not a good program for art I’m impressed 10 year old me could draw let alone ANIMATE on the damn thing) then moved to Paint Tool Sai, I used these programs when I was mainly drawing on my laptop. Sai costs money to but I was able to get around it by using multiple free trials lmao (which lasts about a month iirc last I used it, might’ve changed).

Then I went to mainly to drawing on my phone as it was simply easier for me. I started out with IBISPaint then moved to MediBang for a while and then this program IArtbook and then bought Procreate which I am currently using. The first 3 are free but procreate does cost money. I’d say out of them all I found MediBang and Procreate to be the best for me.

14. Any favorite motifs?

SO. regarding digital art.

My chromebook broke! Dog ran into me, it fell, now a corner of its all shattered and Lenovo can't repair it for free (physical damage yadda yadda) - I can't exactly pay for laptop repairs at the moment (and it'd probably cost more than it did to buy the damn thing, given you'd have to replace the glass and the digitizer on a discontinued model...) So until I can scrounge enough dollarbucks for a replacement tablet (as boyfriend's UGEE tablet doesn't work on my Linux machine and its computer runs at like 5mph on a good day) you'll probably be seeing a LOT more traditional art... and maybe more writing? I'm not sure about that just yet (I'd have to test how xposting literature works lol). I'm considering my options for a replacement; as I'm currently out of a job (long story, RIP walmart hopes) i'll be relying on commissions and possibly donations for spending money (for the record: i am FINE financially, I'm living with ppl and don't need to worry about utilities until I get a fresh job). My hope is to get something running Android or iOS as i've grown super fond of IbisPaint (and tbh i've always wanted to try Procreate) and don't really have the computing power for digital art on my computer. For the time being, and tldr: I'm okay, I'm mad about not having a way to draw digitally, and TRADITIONAL comms are open! hit me up for examples and prices 8)
