(Software) Drawing Resource #14?

Hello everyone,
  Today's post will discuss a computer software which may come in handy for those that enjoy to illustrate or draw with ink. Did you ever want to create comic books, like the ones you grew up with? Or do you want to start making your own manga books? Or are you looking for tools which looks like pen and ink, but on the computer? Fortunately, there is a computer program out there. Known as Manga Studio EX5 or Clip Paint Studios EX, this program will offer artists the ability to: create comic/manga pages, use comic/manga templates, draw directly within the comic/manga pages/templates, use 3D models to represent ideas for your project(s), create and add effects to your art work, and even change the page tone (monochromatic, gray, and color)! This program is a very powerful tool to not only draw comics or manga, but also to create illustrations with: pen, pencil, ink, watercolor, air brush, and special effects (e.g., sparkling stars)! You can also take your work, and create either Vector or Raster layers, depending on the style of the piece or how your art work will be exported/saved/printed, etc. You can save your work, and use it in other programs, such as Adobe Photoshop or Paint Tool SAI. What is a nice from both Smith Micro and Clip Studio's web site is that they offer free brushes (or known as Materials) which you can add to your collection without paying for them (links below)! If the price is too high to purchase, then wait until the holidays or when Smith Micro has a sudden sale on their programs. If you're not sure if you will like Manga Studio EX5/Clip Paint Studio EX, you can always download a trial version. Manga Studio EX5/Clip Paint Studio EX is a very powerful art program, and it has much more to offer! If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave a comment below, or contact me via e-mail. I hope this post was helpful! Thank you! Enjoy!:
