@milo#21859 so I actually have access to photoshop. Is photoshop the right option if you’ve got it?
@CidNight#21862 If you have photoshop you should be good. For other alternatives though, clipstudio paint is also a solid choice. It is fairly affordable compared to the other paid stuff, and it is pretty robust.
Thanks for the great advice! I’ll play around with photoshop. I know it’s structured similarly to Illustrator which should help me acclimate to it more quickly.
@jUAN how come there's none of your art in this thread!!!

oh, baby!
oh man, I really miss artist alleys at conventions… I have a whole closet full of prints I buy lol, just to support the artist. I always tell myself I should put them on my walls but rarely ever do…
two pieces I do have up... one is this:

again I have a closet full of stuff... I'll post a few faves later :)
Clip Studio is what I use and $25 is a dang steal!
@GigaSlime#22071
Do you use it on the computer? I've been messing around with Procreate for a little bit and I'm pleasantly surprised at what it can do.
@SuperEffective#22069 this makes me so happy
@SuperEffective#22075 I was actually using the subscription version on iPad for a while and that one worked pretty great! It‘s got some nice touch controls although they’re not as robust as those featured in Procreate. Eventually though I ended up buying a 22-inch Huion tablet monitor for my PC and now I draw with Clip Studio on that. Seemed a little silly to keep up a subscription when you can just buy the PC version outright for real cheap. Plus I like working on a larger surface, I don‘t have to charge the pen, and it’s easier for me to navigate files and import brushes and stuff on PC.
By the way, if you've ever wanted a Wacom Cintiq and the price kept you away, Huion and XP-Pen are offering some great competition for less than half the price, if you're willing to take a hit on screen resolution and touch controls.

No hotkeys but my brother recently moved out of state and let me keep his old [Razer Tartarus keypad ](https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Tartarus-Progammable-Detachable-Mecha-Membrane/dp/B07754PYFK/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=razer+keyboard+one+hand&qid=1615933904&sr=8-1)which fills that niche beautifully.
@GigaSlime#22090 yeah I have a simple Wacom tablet with no screen - it was like $100 - that my work bought for me for doing some stuff in illustrator. I recognize if I wanted to get serious with digital art at all I’d need a tablet with a built in screen.
@CidNight#22093 Not necessarily, I‘ve definitely known my share of galaxy brain artists who make do with the no-screen kind. But once you’ve tasted the good stuff it's hard to go back.
@CidNight
Yeah, some people like the no screen tablets because their hand doesnt obscure the drawing. Both ways have worked out for me, but I prefer the iPad.
@GigaSlime#22090
Nice! Thanks for the tip. I'm in need of a serious computer update, but I've been really curious about that brand for a while so thanks for the recommendation.
@GigaSlime#22071 Good, I snagged it and don't have a tablet yet lol
So I just did this quick album cover for a buddy of mine. This is his bandmate's old prom pic and he wanted me to replace the date with a Waifu so I decided to draw Monika because I had just played Doki Doki memorial when he asked.
