In fact I get most my commissions done in sai and Adobe illustrator (to vector my sai art). I’ve seen beautiful masterpieces done in sai and I myself have done good artwork. Though most other painting programs offer so much more PaintTool Sai offers the basics which is good. How do you do digital art on Paint Tool SAI?

Yeah I originally used PTSai 1 and when I decided to upgrade I looked into Sai 2, didn't really like it and thought of getting Adobe again, but after remembering how much it sucked I looked into Clip Studio Paint and realized that it was actually pretty good, like several different software put into one for a one time purchase. Paint Tool SAI is a simple painting and editing software when compared with other similar software available in the market, making it easy to use. I'd say go for Clip Studio Paint, it goes on sale a lot and getting the full thing for 100 is actually pretty neato, but also do your research just incase. or you could buy the PRO version now and then upgrade to EX during the next sale. but aside from those issues, CSP is a solid program.Īlso as a tip: if possible, you could wait til CSP has a 50% off sale to get it even cheaper, as those happen pretty often (usually 4 times a year). also, if you're used to photoshop there could be some popular features missing like liquify and some filters. However, CSP does have some support problems such as: with brushes larger than 150 px it kinda lags, which can be a problem when you work on large canvases due to how the program is coded. I personally use CSP (EX version) because as most people say, it has the most features and functionality for what i wanna do (illustrations and comics)

plus itll help you get used to each workspace and compare them. don't impulse buy without knowing how the program works first. Id suggest trying the trial versions of each program first before buying anything and see which one you like more.
