SketchUp - This is another free software that a lot of architects use. Please do yourself a favor and download it- it’ll save you hours with your environments if you learn it. You can do pretty much anything in it from animation to character modeling. It’s so useful to concept artists because you can set the lighting, textures/materials, and camera to your liking. If I could recommend you a software it would be to download the open-source 3D software blender. If you’re really into linework or have a more manga/comic book-y style and use photoshop, definitely consider this. Lazy Nezumi Pro - This is a photoshop specific tool that helps you draw smoother lines. Absolute godsend- like drinking a hot cup of city coffee after abstaining because of the current pandemic going on.

PureRef - Reference software I use for my art projects. I recommend checking out Hardy Fowler’s skillshare courses if you get the chance. I’ve learned so much about graphic design, anatomy, and concept art. Absolute treasure trove of information. Using this website has helped me improve drastically at a fast pace. Works great for Photoshop which I’ve always had trouble drawing smooth lines in. - This is a free website where you can practice and learn gesture drawing. Lazy Nezumi - An app that runs in the backround and provides Paint Tool Sai-like stroke stabilizing to whatever program you’re running. Available for all operating systems, but works best on Linux XD. GIMP - A pretty good Photoshop alternative, getting better with each version.

Paint.Net - An alternative to MSPaint, good for pixel art and simple image editing. MyPaint - A very unique program with an excellent brush system. In case anyone’s wondering which free programs I’ve recommended, here are my favorites:įire Alpaca - An excellent Paint Tool Sai alternative which has perspective and ruler-like drawing tools. It’s great that a lot are available in both formats as well :] i search, i fail.Īw, thank you so much! ^o^ That’s why I love webcomics too. my second thank you is you generously let us know about free paint programs XD its hard finding good ones. :) its like that kind of comic with high quality that i would see in a comic book store unable to buy with no money so thank you to your good heart for sharing your story. first, for your beautifully created comic, i mean, not only putting endless hours and putting to the smallest detail but also free for us.
