:) And then I realize my lines aren't as smooth as I'd like them to be, and immediately switch over with a single click.Īll in all, Manga Studio is also just more user friendly than any image program I've ever used. Still, the drawing experience between raster (aka non-vector) and vector is so similar and seamless that I often find myself drawing on raster layers by mistake without realizing it. (For those unaware, having vectorized lines means you can resize and even manipulate the shapes of your lines without losing any quality.) Manga Studio doesn't allow you to create large fill areas in vector. You can draw with vectorized lines as though you're in Adobe Illustrator, but without the painful learning curve that comes with Illustrator. Manga Studio has another feature Photoshop lacks - vector rendering. Manga Studio's line smoothing is a slider, so you can customize the strength of the smoothing to suit your needs, whether you're drawing long sweeping capes or scruffy fur that needs lots of sharp points. This isn't enough, because it's so minimal that I can't tell the difference. Photoshop does sort of have a line smoothing feature - a checkbox. Manga Studio will smooth your lines forward into the shape you intended - not the squiggly mess that Photoshop leaves you with on the same stroke. Many people on the internet will tell you the answer is 'practice.' I disagree, because Manga Studio has proven that it isn't necessary to change your drawing technique when you move from traditional to digital. Wondering why your lines are shaky when you're using a tablet? It's because your tablet is extremely sensitive to every little shake of your hand, in a way that pen and paper isn't. The biggest difference between Manga Studio and other image programs I've used is the pen correction and smoothing feature. For anyone using a pen tablet, it falls a bit short for line art and smooth brushstrokes and brush customization and all those key features you actually want in a painting program. Photoshop is excellent for.you know.photos. Photoshop just can't compare, especially not for this price. I have now stopped my Photoshop subscription and moved to Affinity for the same reason. With newer Mac OS, the old Manga Studio probably won't work, but by upgrading for free, I can still do illustrations without paying Adobe every month. The capabilities are awesome, brushes and materials can be added as the community around Clip Studio offers new ones (free and pay ones), tutorials are better and better. I am now even happier that because I initially bought Manga, now I have been able to upgrade for FREE to Clip Studio Paint, which is massively expanded and improved. Overall, very satisfied with the software. The palettes are easy to organise and the tutorials very good. Finally stabilisation for brushes and quality of strokes that helped me gain confidence with my Wacom tablet. I was super happy with the cheap price and all the features that this software offered. Manufacturer No:MS5HBX2Īfter using Adobe Photoshop for years and shelling out hundreds of pounds for it, I decided to add Manga Studio as I wanted to explore more interesting brushes and effect in my illustrations.
