It, too, has vector layers which basically resemble 'vector' brushes of Designer (in that they are just vector-driven raster brushes), but ClipStudio has tools that allow reshaping and modifying of these strokes in many ways, and it generally works much more intuitively mimicking natural drawing (e.g., it does not clutter your canvas with separately created curve objects for each stroke yet allows to edit each segment with a node tool similarly as Designer).įor pure vector based (freehand) illustration and genuine vector brush drawings I'd choose VectorStyler (or Illustrator, if subscription is not a problem).ĮDIT: Otherwise ClipStudio Paint is much like CorelPainter and has similar natural media tools for pixel based drawing. For technically oriented jobs, and ones that would be produced for press or multiple purposes digitally (using artboards), I would choose Designer but if you draw freehand and with a pen, ClipStudio Paint is far more versatile. It much depends on what kinds of drawings you mostly create and how, and then also how you are going to produce them. Which one would you prefer to draw it in? And explain why.
