#drawing program

[skyenish]

Hello! May I know what software you use to make your animatics? I'm thinking of trying to make some myself but most video editing software seems expensive (hello adobe) so I thought I'd ask around for what other people are using before committing to one. Thank you!

Hello! I use Clip Studio Paint to draw, and Davinci Resolve (free version) to edit. Don’t even bother with adobe, really, and if you want a free drawing alternative I recommend Krita! If you’re on tablet I recommend Procreate or HiPaint.

Davinci Resolve is a bit difficult to get into, but if I did it so can you! Krita is free and easy for beginners to use, while Clip Studio Paint is more of a professional program that’s less beginner friendly, and it also costs money.

Good luck with making animatics! It’s difficult but very rewarding :)

Cranky from Beatblock is JS Paint

reasoning:

cranky is the mascot of beatblock, as well as the name of the little character you play as, while js paint is an open source browser-based drawing program based on older editions of ms paint. one of the most noticable aspects of beatblock include its simple but effective graphics, applying older limitations in a modern way, in a similar way to js paint. with beatblock's custom level creator, cranky can be used as a tool to create art, just like js paint

also please play beatblock it's so good... it's currently just a free demo but early access is coming out soon... they say they'll probably be done by around november/december 2026... it's soooo good...

I use sketchbook! I always use the fountain pen, but I go to the advanced settings and adjust the settings so they go from the default:

To this:

I also always use the cashmere eraser, not the textured eraser! I’ve tried Ibis paint but I genuinely hate it….so much. Thank you for the ask!! :D

what drawing program do you use? Also what brushed do you use?

Clip Studio, and I use a couple different brushes!!

I use the default pencil tool for the "fuzzy" lineart I do, I call that sketching cuz it uses a pencil tool and looks like pencil drawings lol

for the harder lineart that looks kinda pixelated I use ぺんペン, it's a free downloadable brush on the clip store! I treat it like a pen, so if my other brush is sketching, I use this for inking and stuff that I want to look drawn by pen/with harder edges :]

for shading and texturing I use the tone scraping airbrush, it's a default tool in clip like the pencil!

love the drawings :) what program do you use? any special brushes?

thank you ^^ I use medibang paint (free)

The brushes I use mostly are:

Soft Pencil (Rough) (for line art, I duplicate the layer to make it thicker)

-

Acrylic (mostly for colors and sometimes line art)

-

Fill (vector art, or filling in large areas to color then clipping a layer onto that [so all the pixels are colored in])

-

Bread Deer (it's a bitmapped watercolor, for both painting and lines)

-

Soft Fluffy Watercolor (mostly for colors paired w the soft pencil)

-

Round Brush and Flat Brush (rarely line art, mostly colors)

-

Paint 1 (nice texture)

Hi there! To those of you who use ArtRage: I just posted a guide on my website that’s free to download. There, I explain the main settings I use.

Perhaps some of these settings are similar in other drawing programs and they apply to you even if you don’t use ArtRage (which programs do you guys use btw?). Let me know if you’ve taken a look at it and if it helps c:
