I don't have a touchscreen anymore, busted the screen on my old SP3 π§
But I got a cheap replacement tablet, the Wacom Intuos tablet. It's not touchscreen, but it gets the job done! β¨
There's lots of digital artists that just stick to a trusty mouse, though! π
I used one for a long time before I got my first tablet! β¨
There weren't really any freeware art programs I liked when I bought CSP π
I'm kind of really picky about my tools, they have to flow well and have certain features.
But, I bought it while it was on sale, so it wasn't really like a trillion dollars.
Even at full price, it's not as much as PS, and IMHO it's a lot better π
Partially because it's made for ART, not photo manipulation π
Good luck with your art! Remember to always have a blast with it! πβ¨
I will, thanks!! you too!! :D
