EXPERIMENT - What’s the BEST FREE Drawing Program?

I can't believe that someone so talented and descriptive in front of the camera as well as in drawing, has only 211 subs? Well, 212 now...

I'm just getting into digital art. I'm over the old school pencil and pen and brush Strokes. So I'm a bit behind the times. I really do appreciate your video about the different paint programs. Thank you so much

That was really informative, thank you! Gives me a good idea of what I might want to suggest to Eldest Niece when she gets more into digital drawing.

this was really really helpful! thank you so much for making this video :)

Great vid! Just one thing, I think you can rotate the canvas in all of these programs with in software buttons (in Krita there are two ways).

!!!! Super useful, bookmarking this for when I'm ready to try drawing :-)

0:00 - Intro
0:55 - Clip Studio Paint Pro ($)
6:28 - MyPaint (free)
10:39 - FireAlpaca (free)
15:28 - Krita (free)
19:40 - Outro

Yo you’re awesome! I just got my first tablet today and I was still wondering what software I should use. I love how you took your time and didn’t rush anything. New subscriber, I’m so excited to see your next videos! 🤗❤️

I've used fire alpaca for over a year now. It is very very limited in brushes but it's so easy to use. Im going to try Krita to see how I feel about it but I am personally accustomed to fire alpaca after using it for so long

FireAlpaca isn't great for brush customization, but you can import brushes, and make your own. I've been using it for a little bit now, but I mostly stick with the defaults. Its what works for me.

Hi!
Very neat and perfect comparison 👌🏻Thanks.
PS.
In Krita: Ctrl(command key) is used to quickly access the Color:Eyedropper tool.

You can also rotate the canvas in krista using that pop up wheel. The dot in the top moves

Thanks for making this video! Art is a _huge_ coping mechanism for me, and I don't want to contribute at all to the plastic island in the middle of the ocean - so digital is pretty much my only option. I think I'm gonna try FireAlpaca, then Krita. (I can't wait for Christmas, I think I'm gonna get the Wacom graphire tablet lol)
Update: I'm getting the Huion Inspiroy h950p tablet lmao. This comment was from like, when I just started looking - a great launchpad at least lmao

Great video! Are any art pads compatible with these softwares?

I don't know if someone had said this or not but the canvas rotation feature on krita is on that huge dial. There is a small dot on the top and you can click and move that around the dial to rotate the canvas.
Edit: I have been trying to get used to krita as a brand new digital artist. Well, brand new artist in general lol, and I am having some issues trying to get a handle on the workings of it. I do like the vast array of options, I just don't know exactly what they do yet. lol I clicked on your video to see if there are any other programs out there that are better and I keep hearing that krita is just a great program so I think I am going to stick it out.

You are so underrated keep up the great work!!

This is very helpful. Thank you! I wanted to try a free software before committing to a paid one.

it's not really about which is the best program, it's about how YOU know how to use the program.

Honestly i use krita. For me its very nice and easy and i can also animate. I recomend Krita

Thank you so so so much! Im new to art on my computer, and you helped me find a great program! You earned a sub. :3

I really love your art. Can you please do review drawing on affinity designer? ❤️

im just starting and your vid is SO HELPFUL for me thanks!

Very nice and useful ^^ I'm going to keep this in mind when I dabble in digital art sometime

in krita when the color wheel pops up you'll see a little circle around it with a smaller circle on top, if you move the small circle around the area you'll see it turns the canvas ^^ (idk just thought id comment this lol TvT)

why 21.287 views and only 713 subs? You deserve more and more! , your art is so beautiful , now you have 714

Great video. Very informative and I love your little dragon ponies! :)

My first tablet is coming on Tuesday, this helped a ton, thanks!

Nice video I just got my tabled like 20 mins ago this helped me out a lot! :D

Thanks for making this video, it's very helpful.

Great video, very useful!

I still can't believe you don't even have 800 subs. You're so underrated, well you earned another sub (I don't even draw really).

very helpful video. thank you allie!

I like firealpaca and ive been using it ever since I got my first tablet months ago. But the problem is, whenever I transfer my work to my phone, the colors changes. Like firealpaca's color palette is not accurate. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

hi!! do u reccomend any drawing apps for low end laptops?? u know apps that are lightweight and doesnt lag too much, cuz i've tried krita and my laptop COULD NOT handle it, it lagged like crazy😅😅

Its a great video hope more video to sees. And sooner or later it will trends a lot! 😊😊❤️

Hey, love ur video.
Just a quick Qs, how can you draw such a straight line like that. My lines couldn't be straight and they're just curly like noodles. I can't get it right and really need them to be straight and pointy to draw details like eyes and hair. HELP ME~~~~🥺🥺🥺 I used Krita BTW

I'm new to digital art and hell art overall and have been using krita.
So far my brain does not really understand how to not copy stuff and make new things so i just have been copying references to get better are understanding how things work.
However i am painfully slow like i have been drawing this mouse from a game shortcut icon called transformice I am 6 hours in and still need to shade and i want to add....umm not sure what you would call it small areas that add the look of smooth fur.
Anyway i know why i am slow it is a mix of not using layers right (I will lose track of what one i am on or draw on the wrong one leading to issues down the line) and wanting something to look just right (don't know why i care so much most likely won't even come out very good)
Anyway i really liked the video really wish krita had the ability to turn the canvas without having to use the keyboard.

I have just started getting into art. I have recently bought a tablet as well. What would be a good choice for an artist that is just looking for some fun and creativity.

Me: She must have allot of dubscribers!
Alice MacAlister: I have 140!
Me: Damn thats not mutch!
Also me: Lets become 141!

You deserve to have more subs!

keep going i like your video, the style you are talking is so good

I used Krita for a little bit and I loved it but my pc could NOT handle it lol

ok in kirta you can turn the canvas i use a touch screen laptop with a pen and I'm able to turn the canvas while drawing
i think its just the equipment you use

I just got a new tablet and I have been searching for a drawing program. my friends all use krita so I planned to do the same but on the site it says that you need at least windows 8.1 for the last version and I just have a crusty windows 7. so I'll probably just go with fire alpaca

Lol I was looking at a huion tablet and said man what program should I use. You're talking about clip studio (which I bought months ago when I saw what you can do with character models). You have made me really happy that I bought it cheap and have the programs needed to do the stuff I want. Thanks for the informative honest video.

Just subscribed to your channel...
Hope to see you grow😘

what did i learn out of this video? buy clip studio pain pro and how to draw properly! thanks you so much :D you got a new sub

clip studio paint pro isnt really for free unfortunately

So I want to get a drawing tablet, and the only thing on this list that suits the way I work would be clip studio paint, however, I can’t really afford it. Anyone have any ideas?

thanks really helped

hey one question! you liked pretty fast on my last comment so im just gonna ask here
i got myself clip studio paint pro because of you! :D and i would like to ask where you can get the freedom brush set you are using

Congrats! you have a new subscriber! :)

I am a new digital drawer what app should i use (for pc)

ONLY 371 SUBS???? BRUH MAKIN THAT 372
you have amazing art, You are great criticism and points on the software that was shown.

So..whenever I try and draw on krita, random lines starts showing up as I make a line. Idk how to fix the issue at all

What is your drawing tablet. What would you recommend for starting out?

U should try Medibang Paint pro

I tried downloading firealpaca 2.3.8 but the download bar in Google Chrome said firealpaca cannot download securely I tried canceling to download cuz I was panicking that I'll get a virus

Nice people, useful video :3

Ur Chanel is....SOOO UNDERRATED!

I never even considered krita... I don't know what that says about me but I know what I'm going to be trying.

You CAN upload custom brushes in firealpaca though? I've literally made my own, so I don't understand what you mean by it lacking customization with brushes?

I recommend medibang!!

YOU NEED MORE SUBS

I mean nice video!Really nice job!But the truth is clip studio paint pro is not free u only get a free trial!So the tittle is kinda incorrect if u include clip studio paint pro!

she sould get more likes and subscribers

This is good effort

I'm ur 261st subscriber hope ur channel grow bigger soon

I really need a logo for my friend how much do you charge?

I made it so i can't change my layer which is really annoying. And kirta confused me so sad
Can you give me some help figuring it out?

I like the your characters.

dangit i just got my first drawing tablet and now krita cost money

I love medibang

My paint has a potential

Am a krita user but I found it too uncomfortable than photoshop I didn't used clip studio paint so ya but it's horrible Mean it dings have a eraser tool you just have eraser tool while making a illustration You have to sketch alot and if you are sketching you have to erase too and the buttons on my pen tablet is set to eraser to pen switch and it will be eraser but really small and light and it will took an hour to erase so you have to always go on the eraser brush so it is too painful and shortcuts sometimes didn't work if u set them in you tablet so can I use fire alpaca becoz krita is horrible plzz help🙏
