#MANGA STUDIOS FREE TRIAL ACTIVATION CODE#

The 'finish the page first and then add the text in the end in another program' method just wouldn't work for me. Manga Studio for everything Does everything I need it to, and for me it's a pain to switch between programs - especially since my workflow is often kinda erratic and not just 'finish all sketches, THEN do all the lineart, THEN do all coloring' ect. And that's not really something anyone can answer - it's more something you'll just have to explore & see for yourself.Д«est of luck to you and your future comic, and merry Christmas! There really is no 'best tool' - only 'what's the best tool for me and my needs?. (I can't afford photoshop, so I can't say much about it - aside from 'I wish I could afford photoshop', lol). But the tools you're currently using, (Paint Tool Sai & photoshop), I wouldn't say are a bad tool set - especially to start with. (Usually these programs offer a sort of 'trial period' that lasts anywhere between a day and a month, but sometimes not. If the option is available, go ahead and try other programs out & see whether or not they'd be a helpful addition/replacement for you. I caught back up pretty fast after about a month, but that learning curve is there) (When I changed to Manga Studio, my art looked like it regressed by 2 years. Sometimes you'll seem even less skilled on a new program, simply because you're still new at the program. Cringe).Д«ut if you're not battling with your current tools, don't expect a whole lot of improvement if you change to another tool set. (For example, drawing with a computer mouse. But, if you feel like you're having to constantly fight with your tools - then a change is indeed in order. Generally speaking, tools have only a small part to do with the quality of your work. I mean heck, I've seen artists who make seriously epic drawings using Microsoft Paint of all things. But I'd say just use what you're most comfortable using. It could just be the nostalgia talking - it could just be I'm just not completely used to Manga Studios features yet. Just my personal experience with it, though.Д«ut I'd almost say I preferred Paint Tool Sai's coloring & overlays better.ДЄnd, while Sais inking vectors made me waste a massive amount of time, Sai did have better quality image scaling when you wanted to re-size your inking (probably due to the very vectors I'd griped about earlier). The automatic vector line feature with inking on Sai, I found, made me go all OCD and nit-pick things to death - making me waste TONS of time. I made the switch, as I found Manga Studio better suited my needs & what I was personally looking for from a comic-making program.ДЇor sketching/inking/tone/typesetting, in my opinion, Manga Studio>Sai.

I used to use Paint Tool Sai - but switched to Manga Studio after I lost my Sai activation code & my computer blew up.
