Yesterday I started messing around with art again, so as to keep in practice.
Only problem is that GIMP keeps on crashing with my tablet; 2.8 doesn't like non-WACOM branded tablets, and 2.6 doesn't pick up the tablet at all.Then I discovered Krita. And holy crap, I'm not using GIMP again. Not only does it work perfectly with my tablet, but it supports the CMYK colorspace, can work with PSD images, has full vector support and is basically Photoshop, without the price tag.It also, for me, beats SAI hands-down. Again, it's free, and its updated more frequently (SAI crashes often on my machine while in the middle of drawing).I spent the morning sketching things, getting used to the interface and such. Made myself a new avatar that I'm pretty happy with.So yeah, if any of the other artists on the site want to try it out:https://krita.org/
Adobe Creative Cloud is the shit. I love it.
CS6 was great.CS2 isn't really usable for me anymore.GIMP is still the best free tool around.This looks great, like a streamlined (see: missing features) CC Photoshop. I may check it out, if I get the chance one of these days.
