Absolutely amazing program!

I like it better than Paint Tool Sai and photoshop elements! Super easy to install and runs great on my laptop. They even have a how to book for it; super useful!

Definitely an excellent and immersive program!

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024

My art skills are limited, and that is being generous. My daughter (13) on the other hand loves art, especially digital so I picked this up mainly for her. She is the primary user, and I have also tried some things myself. These are our thoughts.

She was originally confused as to why a digital download came in a box. I actually like this presentation, having something tangible. Plus, the artwork on the box is pretty awesome. Coupon codes are included in the package for in app add on purchases. We haven't yet really needed any of the bonus materials, but the prices aren't bad and I may get them in the future.

The download was very easy and went smooth. The file size isn't exactly small, but then again there is A LOT going on in this program and that takes up space. The projects too take up some memory, and of course the more you do, more space is required. If your serious about art and plan on using this quite a bit, I highly recommend some type of external storage.

There is absolutely a learning curve with this! It took me some time to learn just a fraction of what is available. My daughter on the other hand picked it up in no time. I'm amazed watching her click back and fourth, making small adjustments to her project. She goes so fast and my mind is blown at how quickly she learned what everything does. (I'll note that she has used many other free and upgraded drawing/illustrating apps in the past).

The company recommends, and I very much agree, that this program works best with a pen tablet or high sensitivity stylus. I'm truly in awe at how the program picks up how hard/soft you are pressing on the screen and the brush stroke is reflective of that.

My daughter loves using this and it has quickly become her go to app for drawing and animation. She specifically wants the 'hand feature' called out, as it makes something she could never get quite right before, much easier. Not only is it making her art and animation look better/more polished, her actual art skills are improving by the day. I'll add that, in the 6 weeks we have had this, she has barely done the usual teenage things online, and if she has watched videos, they are of other animators using this program. As a parent, I have no complaints about that.

This program is a definite score! There is TONS you can do, and I'm blown away at the quality of the work being turned out (especially by a 13 year old!) I'm also greatful that for only $60 (at the time of this review) that they offer the perpetual license (we own it forever, updates are included...). I feel that is rare these days, but to me it is further proof that they know they make a killer program that they stand behind. This is 1000% worth it!

Love it

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024

I nabbed this for myself and my gifted artist 8-year-old son. We plopped it onto his new ipad and off we went. We went through the basics as I am familiar with some elements present in all design programs I was able to get him going. This tools in this program just seem more intuitive for what you are doing and I guess that makes sense as it is a more focuses program. I am used to open ended programs that could just as easily design square architecture as it could fun stuff. All in all I really love this product. In a world that hands you free apps and barely touches the full possibility its nice to see something made with it all included.

what i really dislike about the upgrade is you have to pay for updates now, if you want to update to the latest features , and that's not right .. You should never have to pay for updates,

Ain't no color by numbers!

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024

This program is so fun to play around with! I got this to use with my drawing pad. It's easy to set up and just start drawing in, but it also has so many pro tools to be able to get really into details, shading, etc.

Tbh, I'm still learning and playing around with it, so I can't comment like a pro can. But I can tell you that it's a lot of fun to draw in. Anyone can jump right in and start drawing!

Pretty Awesome!

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024

I picked this up for my wife, at the recommendation of several artistic friends. I, unfortunately, have the artistic skill of a moss-covered rock.

She was able, almost immediately, to start right up drawing with her pen tablet as she would on paper, and within a couple hours was turning out darn nice little doodles! I'm definitely going to have to dig into it more myself at some point. But initial impression is that it's quite straightforward to use, and it ran reliably with no crashes or issues on our older PC. Definitely worth the price, I'd say!

Great Value For The Price

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024

This is great value for the price. I'm not really what you'd call an artist. Most of my art is in the form of polymer clay and resin, but sometimes I pull out Procreate for some simple illustrations. Clip Studio gives me everything I need to play around in. Let's put it this way, Photoshop is confusing to me, but Clip Studio is easier for me to use, and the price is GREAT. Now, all I need to get is a drawing pad, and I'll be all set!

A Study in Frustration

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2024

I dislike everything about this. The item said I would get a USB device but, I received an activation code instead. Unbeknownst to me, this could only be used on one device. I installed it on my iPad but it did not take. Then I tried it on my Surface laptop and of course, the code could not be used (Because I used it on the iPad?). I found out the 3.0 version was out so, thinking I could start anew and get the program installed, I purchased it. I tried it on the Surface. It installed. But I could not figure how to even start a project. It's a mystery to me. Very frustrating. The ver 3 can be used on two devices, so I have one more chance to get exasperated. Don't get this program unless you have strong computer skills. My final recommendation: look elsewhere.
