In the past, I've dabbled with demo versions of ArtRage and Corel Painter, but I didn't really take to either of those with much enthusiasm. I promise to dust off my skills and make sure I sketch more frequently in the future. I also have Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, which is a wonderful program, and it's criminal how little I use it. Those three are my trinity of killer drawing programs. I'll also use Photoshop for various tasks. My current setup involves sketching on Manga Studio Pro, then proceeding to use MSP brushes for more expressive line work or transferring the sketch into Adobe Illustrator for more precise inking. Of course, no program can replicate the exact process, but it's interesting to see how different painting programs compare to one another. There's always a quest to find the perfect setup with that magic tool that will transform my mediocre sketches into something magical. I can't help but look at what other painting apps have to offer. Krita is a full-function digital painting program with a loyal fan base and, more importantly, a price tag that's hard to ignore.
