There is a large community of artists from amateur to professional focusing on mainly design and photography. There are also many booksand websites that introduce Adobe Photoshop, but again, there is little information specializing in illustration and comics.

You can ask questions on the community forum as well but topics are mainly related to design and photo processing. You can purchase a subscription from the official website, Adobe accepts payments through credit card, PayPal, and wire transfer.įor some issues, the Adobe support team can be contacted via their official contact form or a chat feature. Note: To use all the features, you must obtain an Adobe ID and register for the trial version.Ĭreative Cloud Photography Plan: $9.99 USD/month Photoshop CC requires some customization, so it is suitable for intermediate artists.ĭownload the full-feature seven-day trial version from the Free Trial Download page. Abundant in features, it is also useful for drawing illustrations. So I don't need Affinity Photo for drawing either.A professional graphics software that’s popular with professional designers, photographers, and editors. I don't need Corel Painter 2021 because I already have Clip Studio Paint Pro and tend to prefer anime-style drawing. And for the PaintShop bundle, it also has AfterShot Pro 3 so I guess maybe it's better in terms of photo editing and management. I've already decided to buy Affinity Designer so I think Affinity Photo would better integrate with Designer. I don't need to edit photos that much but I see there is a technique called photobashing maybe I can leverage. I imagine I'll be more likely to draw vector-based art so actually, I'm not sure to what extent pixel-based software will help. I just started to make simple art so I don't really know what I'll need in the near future. And my goal isn't to be a game artist but a game designer. I'm not a professional but just a student of design major. My use case I think will be mainly for game art, especially for game UI.

Affinity Photo is on the Black Friday sale and Corel PaintShop Pro 2021 is on Humble Bundles for $30 including Corel Painter 2021, AfterShot Pro 3, and so on.
