I'm getting more into digital painting and trying to decide what to use. Is Procreate - iPad Subscription/License better, or should I get Clip Studio Paint - One-Time Purchase? Or just stick with ArtRage (Legacy Version)?

Q

I use Procreate daily on my iPad. The brushes and workflow are incredible, and they keep adding new AI-assisted brushes and features. Perfect for anyone who likes to experiment or wants an evolving tool.

Clip Studio Paint is great if you want a one-time purchase. You get full brush customization, animation tools, and comics/manga workflow. The downside: updates aren't as fast as subscription apps, but it's very capable.

Sounds like Procreate is the way to go for daily sketching and evolving tools, while Clip Studio Paint is better if I don't want a subscription. I'll probably keep ArtRage around for nostalgia.
