It's not bad for the price. I found that drawing in paint tool sai is still far smoother than doing so in this program, and coloring, and shading, and etc. However the money was far from wasted thanks to my favorite feature, the 3d doll models. I still haven't figured out how to zoom in on the model but you can click and drag to move or rotate parts of the "doll" to get a pose you need. Way better than digging through google images for the right picture.
Now for other aspects of it:
Have trouble making comic frames?
This thing has you covered with 33 comic fram templates. It even has a bunch of word bubbles, speed/shock lines, and a couple miscellaneous things for comics.
Have trouble drawing flowers, lace, grass, chains, and more? It also has you covered with brushes that do that, or if you want to draw one thing at a time with one of said brushes all you have to do is turn off the ribbon effect.
Not satisfied with the default brushes? Well their website has you covered with a literal BUTTLOAD of individual and brush sets taht you can easily install into the program. It also has plenty of downloadable palettes as well, my faves being for skin and hair.
Want to animate? This is the stickler since in pro you can TECHINCALLY animate but only up to 24 frames. I found taht out after looking around on their site, something I had not seen listed here. You want actual animation longer than that you need to get EX.
So yeah it's definitely worth the 25 bucks so go ahead and grab it if you're just going to do illustration and comic work.
