What software do the major Japanese cartoonists use to draw?

The most common ones are probably PS and Painter. The former is very powerful in handling things, while the latter has a very professional brush texture and can be used in a variety of painting styles. Others include sai. This software only has a few megabytes. The jitter correction function is very good for drawing lines. Many people also like to start line drawings in sai and then import them into PS for coloring or processing.

There are also many software like IllustStudio, which many people like, and it also has anti-shake function. Can brushes and other software combine the advantages of painter and PS? But it depends on whether everyone is used to it or not. In addition, there are openCanvas and artrage. The former has the engineering function of recording the painting process. You can download some and have a look. It is also good for drawing lines and so on. The latter is generally inclined towards professional paintings with more texture, such as oil paintings.

Generally speaking, it is just a matter of habit. A good cartoonist should not care what software he uses, but generally speaking, sai is enough to solve the problem. Personally, I like this software the best. , PS, a painter that is too complex and too professional, has too many tools and is incompetent to use. A simple line drawing and coloring sai is enough. As for professional, majestic and detailed pictures, it is best to use those big software to process them.

p.s. The above are illustrations... What if lz is talking about black and white? Well, the above is all nonsense. Black and white are usually hand-drawn, but you can also use software like comic studio to draw, and the effect can be achieved Like hand-drawn.
