I've never used it but Aseprite is pretty solid from what I've heard so that may be worth looking into. I'd recommend both (Veikk A15/Clip Studio Paint) of them on sale, but not at full price since they go on sale quite frequently and the Veikk especially just continuing to go up in price over time.Ĭlip Studio Paint isn't particularly great for pixel art (or if it is I haven't figured out how to make it so) if that's what you're looking to do, so I'd probably recommend finding something else for that if that'd be a focus (and maybe not getting Clip Studio Paint at all).
I also use GML for some of the pixel art I do, however you obviously shouldn't buy it just for that (and it isn't very good at it anyway). Personally for art I have the Veikk A15 - it's about $58 CAD right now andĬlip Studio Paint. It's overpriced as Hell and there's countless third party things that are compatible and cost much, much less. I wouldn't recommend an Apple Pencil at all.
