I already own Clip Studio Paint. Don't color much, though it would like to try and learn to be able to color in both simple and more complex ways. Picrel shows some coloring styles i would love to be able to mimic after learning. With that in mind, should i buy either of these humble bundles? Better question, do you think that i need Paintstorm or Corel Painter 2023 (latest version) to be able to easily mimic these coloring/painting styles? Or would Clip Studio be enough with some downloaded brushes?I heard that other apps like Corel Painter have better grasp at realism in brushes, but i'm unsure if i would need that in my coloring or if the emulation from CSP would be enough.
>>7402409personally, i would try it with csp and some practice before looking for new product
>>7402409can you post some of your colorings with csp? csp should have all the tools you need, if you dont have the technique it wont look like that even with corel
>>7402409CSP can do those styles, stop procrastinating and go draw.
>>7402424i am super base level at coloring. get a brush and color in the lines. that's all. i don't know any "techniques".
>>7402549look up youtube videos on shading and coloringbuying more expensive software wont magically make your art better, you still need the know howpractice makes perfect
>>7402558>buying more expensive software wont magically make your art betteryeah but thats why i clarified in the OP >I heard that other apps like Corel Painter have better grasp at realism in brushes, but i'm unsure if i would need that in my coloring or if the emulation from CSP would be enough.
>>7402409If you want realism just get Rebelle. It is imo just as good as Corel Painter, if not better, for a fraction of the cost
>>7402640>Rebelleit's not in a humble bundle right now. Corel bundle is $30 and comes with tons of premium brushes as well as the program.
>>7402640Rebelle has its strengths, but Corel is better at color mixing and it's brush engine is better. I own both. That being said, Corel has no more support. It's been abandoned. Rebelle 8 might just finally steal its throne as the trad emulator software, it's gotten pretty close but it's still lacking.
>>7402409Huh, I wasn't aware that they raised the price on PaintStorm. I bought mine for $10 during a black friday sale a few years back, and it looks like you can only buy a license for one computer at a time instead 2 for $20. Still, it's a decent program, and it has a native linux version which I love, but there's no way to snap the view to set increments like 100 or 50%, which is a pretty big thing to just not include. If you have the specs for it I'd say go for Corel, Otherwise I'd just go buy SAI for $35.
>>7404945>buy SAI for $35.lol. i had sai, clip studio paint is the upgrade. why would i go backwards?
>>7405486For painting? SAI reigns supreme over Clip.Brushes in CSP feel too watery and don't mix as well as the ones in SAI, There's also not a good 1:1 of SAI's watercolor blur either, and the way textures work aren't as good. Plus in SAI 2 you can have a Photoshop style opacity brush, which was the one thing Clip had over SAI for years. CSP might have more things that'd appeal to the modern artist, but SAI is still hands down the best when it comes to how paint actually blends.
>>7405715if i'm gonna spend money on a new program for painting, why wouldnt i just go for rebelle like many have said?
>>7406103Rebelle feels slow and I find the UI to be kinda clunky. It has really ugly textures too. Corel is also slow and clunky but at least the brushes look somewhat believable. Honestly though none of the samples you posted look particularly realistic so what's the point of buying programs made to emulate traditional media? You'd be better off buying a course on digital painting if that's the look you're going for.

If you download a couple neat brushes on the CSP asset store, and play around with the brush settings to figure out how they works, you'll have plenty of tools at your disposal to make the art in your OP. You don't even need much more than the default set, really.Just watch some tutorials and read some stuff about color and shading, and don't look at other software until you understand what you want to be different.
