You can select groups of layers to transform them, and you can set your eraser to erase on all visible layers.

Custom brushed can be clunky to make, but they have some interesting presets and a market full of patterns, textures and brushes perfect for my current lazy needs. It has the raster/vector options, which can be useful for smooth lineart. It also runs well on weaker devices and has options such as layer and clipping masks, which I just donвЂ™t want to live without. My current main program is Clip studio paint, because it imported my old Photoshop files better than what Autodesk could do. My needs have kind of turned towards backwards compability (hello, many years of Photoshop) and advanced features (time saving layer and clipping masks, editing groups of layers), but also an increased focus on simplicity and experimentation. So my question, if youвЂ™ve read this far, is what different programs do you use? I think Affinity is well worth the price, given itвЂ™s capabilities. Sketchbook will probably still see use for quick idea sketches. Tl dr, I prefer Affinity over Sketchbook for production quality art. It has rulers, a pre-made copic color library, tons of tutorials on digital painting methods. Sketchbook is designed from the ground up with one purpose: digital painting and artwork. However, for the moment there are some things Sketchbook does better. Affinity has unlimited undos and a cloud storage that keeps your entire history on all devices. Affinity Photo also works with both raster (what you see in both pics, basically digital painting) and vectors, which opens new worlds of possibilities. It has a massive brush library and full control on customizing brushes. It can also import PS files and brushes, something sketchbook canвЂ™t do. Some major advantages of Affinity are the quality and additional tools it has over Sketchbook. Both pieces are in the Same stage of development, making them an ideal comparison. Its low price point ($10 right now) allowed me to get it for testing if nothing else, and, wellвЂ¦ you can see the difference in what I can do with it. ItвЂ™s one of the closest programs to being a true PS replacement out there, is cheap, a one-time purchase and more crazy, has an iPad app. However, PS is crazy expensive.Д®nter Affinity. DonвЂ™t get me wrong, it works well for about 85%-95% of what I do art-wise, but itвЂ™s that last piece that makes me want to bite the bullet and get PS. It also has severe limitations for customizing art pieces. I think the program is fantastic for digital art, but editing art for publications is a chore.

However, as I continue my quest to bring my projects into a professional quality market, I find it lacking in some key areas.ДЇoremost, Sketchbook is not Photoshop. ItвЂ™s free, intuitive, and full of features for what it is. I honestly canвЂ™t recommend it enough for those wanting to get into this part of the hobby or just test the digital art world. IвЂ™ve been using Sketchbook for my art since 2017 and it is a solid platform for digital painting.
