    Except for the apparent lack of blur brushes, this program is perfect. Less bothersome than Keira and Gimp. A definitive must.

    Not only is it free, they do share a lot of common functionality. Of course, MediBang Paint isn't as feature-rich, but it's still good for anime- and manga-style art.

    Adobe Illustrator vs Clip Studio Paint opinions
    This alternative is disputed. Adobe Illustrator is still a legitimate alternative to Clip Studio Paint, but it might have issues that some users think are important.

    Illustrator is a vector editor as opposed to Clip Studio Paint being a bitmap editor. Both can be used to create art, but in completely different ways. It's not a good alternative
