"I've been using Clip Studio Paint for about 10 years now and the software just keeps getting better"
I've been using Clip Studio Paint for about 10 years now and the software just keeps getting better. It's perfect for drawing webtoons because there are great organizational tools. Also, it's super easy to export the entire webtoon at a suitable size.
One of the reasons I had to try Clip Studio Paint originally was the perspective rulers. And now, there is even a fisheye ruler! The 3D materials are also very helpful for reference.
Last but not least, I have to say that I really love the brushes. They are just great to work with and easy to draw illustrations and comics with, be it in color or black and white.

"My favorite feature is the 3D models"
All of the features and the entire user interface are well thought out, can be customized to any artist's individual needs, and allow for an easy and intuitive entry into the program.
My favorite feature is the 3D character models, which are easy to position, light, and adjust in proportion.
