INTEREST: Shonen Jump Celebrates 50th Anniversary, App Release With International Manga Contest

I've been a faithful user of Medibang Paint Pro since last year, at least for all illustration purposes, and find their comic making tools to be pretty good as well, though I have yet to make a comic myself.

Since Jump Paint is free as well I decided to give it a try, and honestly, it feels a lot like Medibang is, but somewhat clunkier. Granted, I I've only tried the default brushes (same as Medibangs) rather than making my own, but something about it feels kind of wrong. I have yet to try out their comic tools, so that might be a different story. However, I do feel it's a good program for begginer artists, which it seems to be aimed at (though since Medibang is also free and less clunky to me I'd recomend that one instead).

As for the manga lessons included... Well, the ones by Hideaki Sorachi (Gintama) are pretty alright, really basic but decent enough for begginer artists. The ones by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro (Toriko), however, as a disaster. I want to be nice about it, but they're abysmal, and I worry that some poor kids are going to take them to heart and go with them.

Overall, though, being a free program it works just fine, and for those interested in digital art who aren't quite sure if they want to invest in an expensive program yet I do recomend it (and recomend Medibang Paint Pro even more.) I myself plan to try entering this contest as well, even if it's just to brag to my friends about Kishimoto reading my amateur story.

Good luck,i wish i had some sort of skill to enter but unfortunately i dont,so do your best
