Review by Sibelius

Because Corel Painter 11 is now considered an ‘older’ version this full-functional Illustrator program can now be had for a relative song and if you’re new to the world of digital illustration this program provides a full set of features that serves as a great starting point as you get your feet wet, all the way through your first professional submissions. Painter 11 works best with wacom type tablets (as opposed to using just a mouse and keyboard) so be sure to make an investment on a proper digital pen setup once you get the hang of this software. Speaking of which(!) - if you’re new to this type of program be sure to take the time to look up online videos and tutorials or invest in a proper instructional book (there’s some good ones on Amazon). Yes, there is an initial learning curve that you’ll have to get over but with a little time and perseverance you’ll soon discover the wonderful benefits that such a program provides.
