I should preface by saying I'm mainly a 3D artist, but I do some 2D stuff. I'd love to hear other people's opinions on vector/raster and what tools they use!

I have also tried GIMP and SAI, but couldn't really get into either one.
#MANGA STUDIO VECTOR OR RASTER FREE#
However, I'm worried about the amount of time it would take to do vector art as I don't have a lot of free time right now and can't afford to spend days on one picture.įor the record, I primarily used in the past, switching to Photoshop Elements 10 only recently (came with my tablet but never bothered until now). That doesn't matter much when you zoom out, but the ability to keep detail no matter the size makes vectoring super attractive. On the other hand, I am not getting the nice, smooth lines that vectoring brings. I have experimented with vectoring before, but after I got my tablet I haven't really tried again because it makes freehand so easy. I have been struggling with coloring lately and want to push myself more. (Basically you're making a pattern rather than just making the picture.)

Vectoring allows a picture to be scaled up or down without losing resolution because the picture is saved as a mathematical formula which can be reproduced at any size.

Raster is when you use the paintbrush, or if you can zoom in and see pixels. I was wondering who here uses vectors and who uses raster?įor anyone who doesn't know, vectoring is when you use something like the pen tool, making curved lines with points that connect them.
