So since I got my Cintiq I have been trying to find a way to use Photoshop for inking and coloring. The more I used it for inking the more I was getting turned off, so I did a search to see what else is out there for inking digitally and I came across Paint Tool Sai. Now the wolverine pic was done in Sai and the turtles were done in PS
Holy crap do I love this program! It hardly takes up any processing power, its responsiveness to the Cintiq is(I think) better in comparison to PS and inking process is very customizable. For example, when you ink with the pen tool, you can change the thickness, pressure and angle with each stroke after its made.
The selection tool in kind of unique Sai and is good for simple stuff and potentially be really good if you can spend some time getting use to it, but PS is way more polished so I guess it can go down to preference for which you use. So I did the turtles pic first then the wolverine one second and because the inking was process was more enjoyable I felt like finishing it in Sai. I took more time with wolverine because I felt I could get a better level of detail. With the turtles pic I inked it using a regular pressure brush without any feather and did everything to get as little feather as possible but I couldnt get the fine lines that I wanted in comparison to Sai which turned me off to taking the image to the next level. I think what I am going to do from now on is ink and flat a image in Sai and then turn it over to PS.
Anyway that's what I think, I'll post more stuff by the end of the month, peace!
