    "Professional artist. "

    Edited 2022-06-15

    Pros: The best software for digital professional painting in the world.
    I have been doing professional work with this program for more than 5 years and I must say that it has no competitor on the market in terms of price-quality ratio.

    Cons: I don't like people cursing a program without trying it out.

    Overall: Over 5 years, I have saved several 1,000 euros thanks to the program. Just keep going and the world will be a better place to create.
