so. i'm a long time paint tool sai user who's in linux nearly all the time now and this is the only decent alternative software. no one uses it though so there's no tutorials or anything. so here's my attempt at clearing things up through casual testing. mostly as a reference for future me

mara forgive me if im wrong but iirc you said you draw in mspaint? do you only draw in mspaint? your linework just tends to look so organic and airy i cant believe it’s ms paint! love your art always <4
hey anonymous;
for the most part i exclusively use mspaint, though occasionally i use photoshop to change color schemes / edit my church photos, and rarely i:ll use azpaint to take a break from using mspaint if i feel like i:m in a rut; bluntly: i don:t like the reputation mspaint has as being an awful and awkward tool for art where it takes a measure of genius/talent to get good results from it: it:s actually an excellent art program, and the reputation it has as being "basic" i think is both 1) an unfair one, & 2) earned from how barebones it was in its earlier versions (which still are fine programs); all of the mspaint brushes are solid, it actually has pen pressure support on some of them, and really all you:re missing (outside of editing tools) are layers (and generally a way to work non-destructively); there:s been this odd push-back, though, against mspaint artists who showcase the program (probably out of a common annoyance of people catching on-to "mspaint as a spectacle" being an easy way to earn impressions (ex: "wow i can:t believe this is made in mspaint!") that i also think is sort-of unfair: mspaint and it:s ui are beautiful programs, and i:m in support of people picking it up & spending time with it;
basically: i just want people to recognize mspaint as a solid art tool that doesn:t rely on gimmicks or require some profound talent to produce good results with -- it:s just a nice light-weight program; be kind to it & it:ll be kind to you.
i apologize if this sounded a little aggressive (i did mean the aggression, but not targeted at you, because i appreciate you -- you like my stuff!), i:m an mspaint fan and defend it like someone defending their friend for not being permitted entrance in-to the club for wearing goofy shoes. so take care anonymous & thank you for the kind words :-))

hi, i really like your art! just wanted to ask you, what app are you working in? maybe you’ve written about this before but i haven’t found anything :(
hi ^_^ thank you a lot !
i used to have a faq with things like that but i deleted it, i use paint tool sai 1, and sometimes azpainter for filters, textures or adding text (or mspaint, depends)
i dont use custom brushes in either of those
