Just got a graphics tablet... Need software suggestions.

Post by BlueCrab »

So, for my birthday, I got a graphics tablet, and now I'm looking for software suggestions to use with it. I'm generally on OS X, but I'd be happy with suggestions of programs for OS X as well as Windows. I'm not an artist by any means, so I'd prefer programs that are free or at least relatively decently priced (so, please don't suggest Photoshop :wink: ).

Unfortunately, it seems like the recent OS X versions of GIMP don't seem to work well with tablets, so my normal method of just using the GIMP for all my image editing needs kinda fails here.

Manga Studio is probably the next most popular program with illustrators, Zac Gorman the Magical Game Time guy uses it.

I've heard good things about Manga Studio, and I do know that my brother-in-law has a copy of it. I'll certainly try it out.

I've never heard of this program, and it appears from what I've seen that it is an iOS/Android app, so that's not quite what I'm looking for.

Well, that looks promising, other than the current lack of OS X support. I'll definitely keep an eye on that one though. :)
