The tools are downloadable and created from existing paint tool on the Deviant art page.

This pack consists of 6 brush and ink tool pens with an eraser that allows you to play with density and depth to your artwork. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that Adobe has to offer, but for digital painting, you honestly don't need most of that stuff anyway. PaintTool SAI is a high-quality graphics editor and painting solution that allows users to compose anti-aliased paintings and edit digital images with. If you like well-defined and thick lines, then this could be for you. I prefer how pieces come out looking using this, and honestly wish Adobe didn't have so much of this market cornered so that more art programs could really flourish. It costs less, and you can find the older versions for free which still work great. Overall: For digital drawing/painting, I actually prefer this and many other lesser known art products out there over what Adobe has to offer. This also means you'll find less resources available as well. Most people who use this do so as hobbyists thanks to Adobe. I think lines in this look really smooth and it does a better job at mimicking how physical paintings actually look than some of the bigger name products out there.Ĭons: It has far less features than what Adobe has got going on, and it's not an industry standard at all. It's more popular in Japan than in the west, but there is a small community of artists in the west who love this program too. It doesn't have all the extras some other art software might, because it focuses primarily on the digital painting aspect. With its line up of tools and powerful capabilities, it has become a favorite. The open source painting and sketching platform provides an alternative to the more expensive software of this type, boasting of fast performance and extensive features. Pair it with a decent tablet and you'll be making nice pieces easily. Krita is a free painting software that can be used by both professional and amateur artists.
