I know a lot of you haven’t tried Manga Studio, but it’s on sale on Amazon for $17.

Manga Studio 5 is like a mix of Painter, SAI, and Photoshop. It’s my favorite app to make art in and, at that price, there’s no reason not to try it too.

The brushes I make for Manga Studio are leaps and bounds above what you can create in Photoshop. And it handles lineart AND realistic color mixing better than Photoshop. Seriously.

No really go buy this program. If you’re in super need of a professional art program with more capabilities than SAI (like bigger canvas sizes) and is a SERIOUS competitor to Photoshop on multiple levels, then pick this up.

If you like SAI, you’ll love this. If you’re into Painter, ArtRage, anything like that, you’ll love this. If you want to give the middle finger to Adobe for continuing to neglect and exploit the art community, /you will LOVE this/
