Where to go from Aseprite
Hi, I've been working on game concept art for some small projects with a friend and I've been using aseprite as it is the software I am most familiar with. I would like to move on to a more traditional digital painting software but in the past when I used such media I would always get overwhelmed with the huge quantity of options, brushes, colors and selections that dwarf what Aseprite can do. I like how simple but effective it is and how easy it was to pick up. So my question is: what are your recommendations for software that allows more traditional digital painting but do not overwhelm newcomers?
I've used Clip Studio Paint in the past and it wasn't a bad experience but it definitely did overwhelm me. I've also used adobe products with similar results. I'm sure this question has been asked a million times so sorry if it has, but input is appreciated!
