So I got my tablet about a year ago, tested it out a few times and never looked at it again- until now. I dusted it off about three weeks ago and decided it was now or never. I didn't like how it worked in photoshop and since my PC is a piece of crap, Photoshop ran like sh** on it. So I did some searching to find a programme that wouldn't stress out my I lame ass PC while helping me manage and develop my skills with my tablet.
After "play testing a good few, I was referred [by a friend] to try out a programme named Paint Tool Sai. So I checked it out and I haven't looked back since. Some aspects of the UI might seem a bit "old school" but overall, it works great.
So far I have created at least five pieces of art that can be seen here on DA but I still have a looooong way to go so, if any one has any advice/tutorials [especially in regards to painting] I'd be more than happy to listen.
