if you have an organised and efficient workspace in one, you’ll probably find adopting a new program jarring and annoying.What are the key features of PaintTool SAI? and i haven’t used paint tool sai in over a year now, so i really can’t offer a fair comparison. I won’t go and say any program is better than the other. anyway, i found firealpaca first (pretty much a simpler, smaller version of medibang) and just it so easy to use and work with and i never looked back.

either way, i obviously couldn’t find a way around it at the time which was why i went looking for a new program in the first place (i think i tried gimp at first AND HOOO BOY WAS THAT AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE ^:). i think paint tool sai either didn’t work on my mac, or it didn’t support my tablets pressure sensitivity or SOMETHING. the reason i dropped paint tool sai at the time was because my main computer just… broke, and i had to switch to using my macbook for art and everything else. they have a great brush system too, lotsa default ones that you can download, there are a few custom one’s made by people online you can find, and creating them yourself is super simple too.īut i think one of the main reasons i switched to medibang was because it functioned well across a bunch of operating systems. the team/creators behind the program also have a great and very well established online community and consistently release updates and new features (all pretty much for free) that keep the program running really smoothly.

but because of that i feel like its a lot less buggy and more adaptable. medibang is actually free, as opposed to being free-through-illegit-means like paint tool sai is (i mean come on, i honestly don’t think i’ve met anyone who’s actually paid for it). I find it has a cleaner, more intuitive interface with a lot more functions and capabilities.
