Could you give some tips on mangastudio brushes (in comparison to sai)?
MS5 vs SAI brushes right out the gate (without fiddling with them or adding on brush packs), MS5 just has more variety - chisel tipped brushes, brushes with built in texture options, and more tweaking options vs SAI.
I generally work with what comes standard in any program and don’t bother expanding out with lots of customization accessories - so if you’re like me and just want to get straight into the art battlefield, MS5’s got a bigger toolbox.
The tools I most often rely on are the Rough Pencil, India Ink Rough Brush, Soft Airbrush, and the G-Pen for hard inks. I like the India Ink brush because it’s got a nice rectangular tip and a splash of texture.
