If you're looking to do single page or multiple page illustration, using what professionals used to use to pay their rent isn't a bad way to go. It used to be one of a few software in Japan that was used for commercial comic creation. It's rebranded now, but it's still got a no fluff interface from it's professional yesterdays. You might consider looking to MangaLabo. MyPaint just kinda makes me long for the perfect GUI of ArtRage. There's plenty of OpenSource digital art options out there. you are simply losing value for the money you spent if you don't have a high end wacom tablet of adequate size. OpenCanvas is similar to an upgraded ms paint but not quite as good as gimp IMO, ArtRage has an engine that blends the paints and emulates a true medium. Clip Studio Paint EX, Adobe Photoshop, and Corel Painter are examples of this type of mentality. Download the demo from their website, it has a 120 day trial. One thing you should keep in mind is that once you get near that $200 dollar and greater range, your programs are going to expect you to have a $400 dollar wacom tablet of atleast medium size(tilt and especially pen rotation are costly features). The last time I used black ink, I couldn't figure out how to make brushes that blend similar to SAI, and apparently a blending engine is not high on the priority list for implementation so it can't exactly make any brush you could wish for. In virtually any and all areas I have not mentioned, Open Canvas is unquestionably stronger for the user. These two things are what is better in Black Ink than Open Canvas. The UI is smoother in Black Ink than it is in OpenCanvas. That's the strength of Black Ink, and the reason to purchase it. Maximum canvas size on all devices now increased to 4096px x 4096px. More layer options for exporting and merging, and layer effects. Real color blending for natural paint mixing. OpenCanvas has the social network that allows in many cases to download the artwork you like and play it back in Open Canvas so you can see how it was made and try to duplicate the art and techniques.īlack Ink has the freedom to create any brush you can wish for. ArtRage Vitae is our Premium Natural Painting application for mobile devices. I prefer OpenCanvas most of the time, as the image editing tools are very helpful. Smear thick paint to spread it out over a larger area. Paint can be set to run out over time on the brush head to create realistic fading. Originally posted by (HCA)Kristof:I was considering buying one of the two, which is a better program which one do you prefer? If one over the other, what are the pros/cons? Thanks guys, I hope to get some responses soon!īoth programs have their strength, neither is a better program. Paint blends on the canvas to create color variations based on how much paint is on the brush and how much is on the surface.
