I've only been doing digital the last few years, and I only do it on my phone so far. ^^ I use SketchBook. When I struggle with a pose, I use easyposer for reference.

Yes! Now I usually use it when there are strange perspective angles that are difficult to draw on sight. ^^ Or if I completely fail at anatomy on a picture. XD

~PaintSai~
@ dawnsky - I admit that I totally forgot that PaintSAI exists XD Sorry about that, although I've heard it's a really nice program Xd
πβππ π£π - I use Ibis Paint on my phone when I'm unable to break out my laptop or desktop computer, it's a very smooth program for being a free one ^-^
Light - AutoDesk Sketchbook? Or some other program I'm not familiar with? Xd
Cosmos - CorelPainter? I've never heard of that one, can you describe your favorite parts of it a little?

Lol. I just realized it is AutoDesk SketchBook. AutoDesk doesn't show until I open it, so I always thought it was just SketchBook. XD I'm going to have to watch this thread and try out some other good, free art programs.

~More Drawing Programs~
πβππ π£π - ooh, an Ipad drawer! I've heard Ipads are fun to draw on, do you enjoy it a lot? ^-^ As for Ibis Paint Premiam, I'm sure if I used it more and wasn't a broke college student graphic designer I'd buy that and more of the Adobe Creative Cloud XD
Light - what's EasyPoser? I've never heard of that before XD the program I use (which isn't free, but is a one time purchase) has a 3D model system built in for posing and stuff (see picture below) bear with me on the mistakes, this was a five minute drawing with a fill tool XD
Off that topic, Light do you want me to compile a list of free programs I'm aware of and ones that others say they're using? My personal favorite is called "Krita" which was the highest rated free program via the YouTuber Draw With Jazza Xd
ππππππππππππ - Paint SAI is a beautiful program ^-^ And I've heard of Fire Alpaca but I admit that it's not really my thing XD I started off using an online software that used to be free, then switched over to Krita, and now I've been using clipstudio since April ^-^

Ooh. Sure. If you have the time. Easyposer is a 3D model system, probably not as fancy as yours. I have the free version, so there's only a few different sizes of people and not much to work with for objects. They also have a section where they show movement of the 3D model and what that would look like. Again, limited because I have the free version, but it's still kind of cool. Sometimes it helps me a little with shading as well, though usually I do my own thing for shading. For example, here is the 3D model I used for the picture of Rosie-Lu and Bree I drew:

Ooh, that looks awesome! (Also, I listed both the programs everyone's listed along with all of the ones I've heard of and the gear I actually use myself XD)
πβππ π£π - So it's like drawing on a Surface device or a digital tablet? Cause I know how that's like, it's hard to go back to not drawing straight on a screen XD

I've been using Firealpca for ages, but I love Krita and Medibang Paint for the brief time I used them. Krita more so. I've been tempted to switch back to Krita as of late, even though I've become very familiar with how Firealpaca works. I was just a stubborn being when I started out doing anything online and that was I wouldn't spend any money on art or video making programs. For a while I only drew in paint.net, which you can certainly do though it is better for photo editing!
