Good software for drawing / art / animation?

Apr.14, 2007 in Animation, Art

I’m on OS X. What does everyone use?

I bought Art Rage a while back and am digging it. I’m downloading the demos for Anime Studio 5 and Manga Studio 3 from e-frontier. Anyone use these? Any recommendations?

Anyone used Lineform from Freeverse? Should I just buy Adobe and get it over with?

Share and Enjoy:

They’re both really good programs to use, Manga Studio is a comic book creation program, with excellent drawing tools and Anime Studio is one of the easiest to use animation tools out there. Make sure to check out the demos like you said you will, remember that they have 30 day limits.
