    I use Krita. The large variety of brushes makes it really simple to create textures for you backgrounds, like if you want to add grass, clouds, water lines, a frickin mountain, etc, there's a brush for that. It works good for short animations, too.

      Actually, there are LOTS of problems in Flipaclip, like the lack of brushes and of the stabilizer. I mean, it is great, but it is really simple. I’d rather use Krita or export tons of png. files drawn on another programs (like MediBang, that is free) and export to a video editing program like Blender

    This video is so helpful! I just got my first drawing tablet so I can finally move on from Flipaclip and I was a little daunted by trying to find the right programs. Most of the big animators and artists I tend to see use Paint Tool Sai or Photoshop and Toonboom or Adobe Animate, but I'm only animating as a hobby, I'm not getting money from it so I can't really afford those. This video just lays everything out for you and shows how each of these apps compare to Adobe. Honestly I was a little shocked by how much they can do. Thanks for making this so much easier for us beginning animators 😊

    My journey towards digital art has been so daunting (along side so much life stuff) it hasn't really even started, sadly. I've recently acquired the tools I wanted to start with (laptop, drawing tablet), now I wud just like to find some like minded ppl to learn with/from so this transition from traditional art isn't so much like 'jumping into a blackhole'.

    The only issue with free animation tools is that they normally lack a lot of features of the paid's ones. Which is fine and all but if you really want to get deep into animating then you are going to want to learn a proper suite eventually, which means you might be doubling the learning time. But yeah, for determining if you really want to get into animating then free apps are great!

    3.) I can't find the layers.
    4.) Whenever I draw on the paper, it first pixelates it and then draws it as a normal brush would.

    • @3polygons
      @3polygons 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      But the more expensive version, the EX, as the Pro is very limited. I have it, and I believe is just some seconds of animation allowed. The ability of handling many comic pages, or the more advanced 3D features, and exporting to epub formats, is not stuff I need for now, but the ability of importing a PSD WITH layers, instead of flattened to one, when it is a CMYK mode file (a regular RGB PSD layered comes in with layers)... heh, yeah, that's a reason enough for me wanting the EX in the next discount offer. A client sends u a such file, and is a ton of rework or impossible mission. I use CSP for absolutely all my sketching, inking and painting, tho. Is the absolute best for me in that. That said, twice a year the Japanese company makes a 60 or 40% discount of all products, one only needs to be in a newsletter or sth to be aware and fast. Still, I voted up the comment.

      Clip studio does have some cool animation features, it reminds me a lot of how it's implemented in Krita. Also I have the cheaper version of CSP so I'm a bit limited in what I can do with it.

    • @3polygons
      @3polygons 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@thebradcolbow Actually, it seems both were more or less implemented at same time, I mean more or less the anim features were added in both around 2015/2016. But celsys had a really longer experience in the past with animation software. That said, Krita's first beginnings in general are really old, around 1998 ( ain't much younger CSP, aka manga Studio before, and aka Comic Studio before that, csp saw the light in 2001) , if I'm not wrong. But only got promotion, and released in the usable and more complete and solid status as we today know just a few years ago. As a standard tool, fully functional since day one, for comics and other illustration, Manga Studio is way older, in that sense... I'd be inclined to think Krita got the inspiration - if they got it from somewhere- from CSP, not the opposite situation. Krita does that, tends to implement stuff , tho quite differently than the original, stuff, features that they seem to perceive as best implemented in A or B package, and get the idea from those. My 2 c, tho.
