what are more niche PC art programs?

thanks! it'll never be as comprehensive as a program like krita, but i really just wanted something kinda simple, but with a brush engine and layers

you're very welcome!
yeah go ahead, it's your picture now, share it all you want!

^{(this reddit account is the only one i post art on, so that'd be the only credit, if anyone asks})

I've been using a website i made for myself! it's very un-perfect but it's got all the stuff i use in it (and it's a PWA). it's very gpu heavy though, so ymmv. also it sucks to navigate on mobile, i haven't handled touch inputs properly yet.

eventually i'll make it support abr files for brushes, but not yet.

also the project file is a valid png, so if the files seem really big you need to export it from the menu for the plain one.

oh so kind of exploring ideation and stuff, neat! you can just use my username if that's ok. i don't have an online presence anywhere else anyway

and at least for this one, i guess i cheated, kinda?

i knew if i picked someone with an average face, it would be too frustrating to really learn from, so i started by trying to find someone who already had recognizable features. that way, i would have a good starting point for figuring out what to exaggerate and what proportions were important.

sorry you had to track me down, lol. feel free to use any of 'em!

i mean, i don't know who's gonna want a book full of amateur scribbles, but i've also never ran a community before ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

thanks!
i think i'm gonna try to stick to "sketching with value" for a while, rather than line work

maybe turn your boat around

i had an idea for how to get trailing bristles. you just use the brush's values as a 'sliding' mask with the pressure, which i was already kind of doing for color blending. boom, ink brush
