Comments about MediBang Paint as a Alternative to Procreate
uhadaYou get a classic interface with a lot of the painting and editing tools you know from Photoshop. Some limitations, but it's free (with a few ads in the menu). Personally I use Affinity Designer and Photo that are not free, but very powerful!
9You can do almost everything with it that you'd do with Procreate. However shading is a little harder, but you can do it after some practice.
10Medibang has very limited brushed and other ways to draw and I find it quite clunky.
4because is not difficult like procreate
-4For me great set of brushes, easy to use, cool tools like joining layers etc. And also beautiful and very readable design of the whole software makes it really easy to learn.
