Switched from Photoshop to Krita for my comic project and it's been a game changer
Everyone in my art circle kept pushing Photoshop as the only 'professional' tool, but I had to pick between sticking with my expensive Adobe sub or trying Krita for my new webcomic. I went with Krita about 4 months ago, and honestly, it's been way better for my workflow. The brush engine feels more natural for inking, and the stabilizer tool is a lifesaver for my shaky lines. I saved over $200 already on subscription fees, which I put towards a better tablet. The only real downside was learning where the tools were, but that took maybe a week. I think a lot of artists get stuck on brand names without trying the free options that are built for specific tasks like drawing. Has anyone else made a big switch in their main art program and had it work out better than expected?

I feel that "stuck on brand names" thing so hard. I spent years on a fancy paid program before realizing my best work was happening in a free app I'd been ignoring. My wallet still hasn't forgiven me for the wasted cash.

@reese551's story shows how often we pay for fancy brands when simpler tools work better.
