I’m busy researching painting apps for my
iPad that can be used for professional work.
All the ones I researched cost money. There’s also Medibang, it’s free, but looks like a
smaller version of Procreate..which is already small.

I wanted something for professional use so
I bought a gift card, but cannot commit to anything. Here are my findings.

None of the painting apps are without flaw
and they all have potential to do great work. Perhaps it’s a matter of just pick one and
stick to it?

Procreate is impressive, but its engine is small, the beloved terrier of the digital painting apps. User friendly, I’m sure it can be used for artwork, no type tool, and there are more tutorials for Procreate than most other painting apps out there.
I originally was moved to buy it first, but then decided to do more research.

Paintstorm Studio looks like Procreate but bigger and also has more problems. I’d like to get it for its blending tools and perspective grid. I’ve also heard it saps the battery..

Art Studio I’m not sure about. I know it has vector tools and could be useful.

I’m understanding that Inspire Pro has great customer service, but no layer feature.

Finally, Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer, the most expensive of my list, which are supposed to rival Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, respectively. They are still not without flaw, and I’d like to know if they could be worth it in the long run.

I’m not interested in a subscription fee unless it’s the only way to be accepted by the working design and art community. Otherwise I would have to buy another laptop and pay for Adobe Creative Cloud. I’d rather do a one time purchase and be done with it. I’ve also researched Paint Clip, which is nice but it’s still a subscription.

Experience tells me my readers won’t comment on this, but I’d like to be proved wrong.
I’m aware that any of the above apps could be used for profit, just tell me what works based on standard.

I never thought I’d live to see 37. After all the stuff that’s happened since last year. There were times I thought I wasn’t going to make it, and keep finding ramifications, of people who have poisoned the well, so to speak.

People who used to like me, who loved my parents, now don’t and it’s been a bear.

There were times I thought the bear would eat me, it may still, but I’ve survived so far.

Anyhow, I’m glad I’ve made it this far.

Good evening, I’m Clayghost34.

In today’s news, I attempted to learn how to copy write. In all honesty it’s harder than it looks. A word to the wise is to never attempt to copy-write for a small business that is not known for its friendly customer service.

The rest of the day was in between games and studying how to write copy that could provide an example for my portfolio. In the end I wrote three paragraphs that need editing.

Lastly, tomorrow is my birthday. In a few minutes I’ll be there years shy of 40, which scares me.

That’s the news for today, I’m Isaac Craft, have a good weekend.

Belated christmas, new years, and valentine's day. Hope your doing OK out there. It'd be nice if someone could respond an at least say hi once in a while.

It's early Saturday morning almost 2 a.m.

I'm writing to say I'm still alive though not as active as I should be. 

It's just weird how friends come and go. Back in 2006 I had friends on DA. All it took for a lady friend of mine to become inactive was some schmuck named Tim. I really despise that guy. I suspect he's responsible for her being inactive on here.

Friends come and go. What can you do?

It's now 2:09 a.m.
