Pros / Cons
  • It is also useful as a graphic designer making it the perfect software to create 2D graphics and then animate them.
  • The auto keyframes and movement of layers and frames can be difficult and a bit sluggish.

  • Very intuitive for drawing tablets, a LOT of brushes for every possible art style And the community has a lot of creative and helpful assets to use
  • My main issue is when I make textures for 3D models, it's hard to import different brushes, and one can easily get turned off by how annoying it can be sometimes.
