It has drawing tools which emulate natural media such as pencils, ink pens, and brushes, as well as patterns and decorations.

It is used for the digital creation of comics, general illustration, and 2D animation. A site to learn a bit more: they have have the free version there that you can mess with.English (United States), French, German, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Traditional ChineseĬlip Studio Paint (previously marketed as Manga Studio in North America), informally known in Japan as Kurisuta ( クリスタ), is a family of software applications developed by Japanese graphics software company Celsys. If you're looking for something simple to draw in and learn some advanced features, go with Sketchbook Pro, the new version has multiple ways to do it, you can try for free or pay for a cheap yearly license. I personally use both, Sketchbook I use for layouts, simply fire it up on a surface and doodle away, when I have something I want to use I export it and do finished in MS5. It's more advanced than Sketchbook and there are a million more options, like playing out panels that become separate folders with a simple few clicks and the brush engine is really really the best I've used in a long time. It's original point was to be a sharp digital inking app, but it expanded into doing more advanced painting and generally being my ultimate go to app for finished pro work. Manga Studio is full on a comic making app.

More layer options you don't always have in other apps. You can do comics in sketchbook, hell some Marvel guys do, but it's not the focus of the app, it's more simple all around and it has some good tools, the new version has some perspective tools that help a lot now. Well for me Sketchbook is far more noob friendly, it's just a pick up and go kind of app.
