software for the digital artists

traditional painters have their own choice of medium..oil, acrylic, water colour, pastel, gouche, airbrush etc.

now digital painters have alot of softwares to choose from.

photoshop still remains the top favourite.

corel painter is also popular because of its customised brush settings which mimics the real stuff. wen u use the watercolour brush itll take time to 'dry'. so itll blend wen u paint a new stroke on top. of coz u can make the drying process quick.

a lesser known but cheap and a photoshop wannabe is paint shop pro.

my new fren kazema uses open canvas. layout still similar like photoshop.

then there's manga studio, artrage (simple one but i like it), and many more.

now thats only the bitmaps...now lets go to the darkside...vector!

adobe illustrator is a favourite not only the graphic designer but also some illustrators. its fast and wen u save it doesnt take much space in yr hdd.

flash is also a fun software. u can do animation, web, and illustrations.

corel draw is similar to adobe illustrator.

fuhh...banyak choice. well i stil stick with photoshop just because of the features it has.
