   I Use Storyboard That Every Day

   As a former classroom teacher of French and Spanish, English Language Arts, and Social Studies, my business now is creating resources for language teachers to tell stories and teach about culture, geography, history, and other content...in a language that may be quite new to the students. So, with that kind of work, you can bet I am always on the lookout for the best tools to visually scaffold the information so it is easier to understand through pictures, icons, and other design elements. I use Storyboard That almost every single day in my work on these materials. Since the resources are for (mostly) children and teens, I prefer a comic or cartoon-y style. Storyboard That is my go-to "character generator." I use it to make and pose characters into scenes and then I combine these groups of characters with Canva, to create PNGs that I then make into presentations for giving mini-lessons in class, texts for kids to read in class, etc. For me, Canva AND Storyboard That together are the perfect solution, and the price is right, for my purposes, as Pixton (which integrates directly with Canva) charges about $500 a year for the rights to replicate your work using their library for commercial purposes, whereas Storyboard That is only $12 or so a month, which includes that permission level for your original compositions. Pixton without that level of permission is about $40 a month, so you would need to think about what the integration of the two would be worth for you in terms of efficiency or the available images and effects in Pixton. For $144 a year, Storyboard That is an excellent option for me. And for free, you can create three active storyboards at a time, so you could potentially use it and never pay a dime.

   🏁 Competitors: Pixton

   👍 Pros:    Allows commercial use of your designs using their elements|Has a free option that allows you to make three active storyboards|Affordable price|Good range of racially-diverse characters

   👎 Cons:    Interface needs improvement|The dragging and clicking is often cumbersome for me.|No canva integration (pixton integrates with canva directly but costs substantially more)

• Still on CSP v1 - experiences with v2?

  MediBang Paint - recently added a pro version which is paid, but still has a base version which is free. Also available on iPad, iPhone, and Android though these might have limitations, in-app purchases, or other elements. Source: 11 months ago

• Should I buy CS now if plan to learn Digital Art in future?

  If you are learning Digital Art there are really good Digital programs like Krita + Medibang that are free on PC. I love CSP but with the way they've been going, I don't feel like it's proper to recommend them :C - I have used Krita and Medibang for my job and genuinely, nobody can tell the difference. Like with any new program, there's a bit of a learning curve esp. If you don't know if you are using a window... Source: over 1 year ago

• Can someone please find this picrew? I've reverse image searched my soul out and I've had no luck

  I found number five, that's the best I could do. These were probably created with a program called MedaBang. Source: over 1 year ago

• How can I, as a 14 year old, help my parents out financially with everything skyrocketing?

  If you have a computer that can run a graphics program, you could do digital art and comissions. There are a number of free programs out there - Photopea is free but online only, Medibang works on Windows/Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android and appears to be free across all platforms. There's also GIMP which is more of an image editor than an art program, and Inkscape and Boxy SVG which do vector graphics, though the... Source: over 1 year ago

• What do you usually use to draw countryball comics? I can never get fucking approved when I draw on paper
