Here is where you may post reviews of popular art programs.

You may also add your own if you would like.



GIMP
10/10
I use this when I need a bit more done than what paint.net can offer. Pathing, great effects an filters, along with templates for webpages, documents, etc. Great and powerful tool.


Paint.net
10/10
I use this program primarily. It allows for Layers, multiple effects and filters, and is easy to get the hang of.


Painttoolsai
8/10(I'll put Spencers rating up here, but none other.)

Photoshop
(4/10)
I personally find it useless. It has a huge capacity for great art, but a steep learning curve.

Tuxpaint
9000/10(I refuse to acknowledge tuxpaint' existance.)

Pen and Pencil
(1/0) "Make some real art, peasents."I lied.)

If you would like to review a program, or recommend one, comon and comment! (It will not be posted on the OT.)

I'm an open book, there are few questions I won't answer honestly, no matter how embarrassing.

There's a difference between a review and a rating.

I see no reviews here, all if see is ratings.

Paper&Pencil: 1/0

Make some real art, peasants.

^this.


My blog (Thelittlegreenham.blog.com) and twitter (@thelittlegreenh) have art that I made on paint.net. Paint.net is a God amongst manipulation programs.

When I first started drawing digitally, Paint.NET is what I always used. Even though it lacks a variety of paintbrushes, you can still draw decent things with it.
This is an example show
It's a lame example...I drew this when I was about 12 or 13 with Paint.NET. The drawing may not be so great (and a bit weird) but I still managed effects with it that a more advanced artist could take advantage of. Later on I ended up making better things with Paint.NET, but I can't fetch those projects right now.


Drawing digitally, I had to use a mouse...It was tiring, took a lot of time, and everyone could see what I was drawing on the big computer screen (I hate it when people see my unfinished projects). So, I switched back to paper later on...which, honestly....you can never replace. You have so much more control, and there's a texture to it that you can never achieve with digital art. After getting Colors!3D, I fell in love with digital art again...though I still use paper for my own pleasure, the art I upload now is mostly from Colors3D since it's quicker and more effortless to upload.

I typically have more respect for good traditional art, simply because I know from experience that digital art is so much easier.

I use Paint.net because I draw comics and logos. Really good for simplicity.
