I've been using firealpaca for a long time (and medibang) and I think they are really good. One thing though is brush options i'm not sure if there are better ones elsewhere. Medibang might have more but I haven't explored it so much and often it asks u to login for more and I don't wanna haha. I do like how simple firealpaca is at first I didn't like it as the lines seemed weird to me and a lot of the art made with it seemed not so good compared to something like sai or photoshop but now I really like it and the stabliser tool works well. 

Who else uses any of those and what brushes do you use? Anyone has any tips or anything to share :P

Fire alpaca. A friend of mine recommended it to me a couple years ago (she's a graphic designer).

I don't draw often, but when I do I use fire alpaca. It has many useful tools including perspective lines and some interesting comic textures.

If I had more talent and bothered more on practicing (and wasn't as shy when it came to any artistic output) I would be getting all the juice from fire alpaca.

I think one of the best parts of it is that it is free and lighter than most digital painting programs.

I use Medibang Paint and JUMP PAINT, which are pretty much the same program save for a few minor differences. I draw a lot of manga, so these programs are perfect for me. I usually use the wet watercolour brush for sketching and drafting and use the G Pen for my inking work. You can actually make your own custom brushes, but I haven't really needed to. The one thing I want to do is find a way to add a few more screentones at some point.

Ooh now I remember trying JUMP paint a while back I can't remember why I stopped using it probably since it was so similar already rather than anything else, but it did seem to have a few extra tools. It seemed good though.

Yeah medibang seems to be pretty good for that sorta thing. :kirin:
