Software Choice

The software I used for this major project is Clip Studio Paint. I purchased a licenced version in 2019 and it allowed me to produce a lot of digital paintings, drawings and edit photos.
There were some other software’s that I investigated however the idea of using them was discarded because I either did not have the financial stability to pay for the licence (Photoshop), or did not had the tools that I required to use such a software (Procreate).

Photoshop has a multitude of great tools in disposal, as a photo editing software it would allow me to shape and re-shape everything I wanted and have such a strong control over my result, however like I briefly explain, photoshop licences are expensive, and the “licence provided” by the university is very strange and glitchy.

Procreate is an amazing software that I have looked up for a long time now. It has remarkable tools for digital art that seems unmatched by any other software of the kind.
Unfortunately, it was made only for the iPad, even though it is a free software.

So, Clip Studio Paint became the obvious choice here, as it still is a great pixel-based software for digital art such as painting and drawing.

The software itself became very popular with comic book creators. Mostly popularized due to Japanese comic books (manga) but also with western type comic books, which were the thing that attracted me to the software in the first place.
