Colour Rendering

**Demonfyre** · 05-25-2012, 08:04 AM

I was wanting to ask when would be the best time for me to buy programs such as Photoshop or something which I can colour render my manga images. There is a link below to my critique thread if you want to see my progress.

Also if I was to start colour rendering what would be a good program to use taking into consideration i've had genuinely no experience apart whatsoever :L

Thanks in advance for any replies ^_^

I love SAI.

It's less complicated than Photoshop and I think it's better for beginners.

SAI is my favorite. then the GIMP fo the rest.

I've been using GIMP. It's free, similar to Photoshop, and I find it easy to use.

I'll download that and try some rendering and post them up onto my thread, i'll also go look into SAI

thanks for all the replies ^_^

Yeah SAI is best . But also use photoshop also because it gives various brushes for making various effects that will come handy .

I use photoshop because honestly it has the best tools. Sai was terrible now that I look back on it, I'm pretty glad I decided to give Photoshop another go.
