Nope, one had suicidal ideation because of being harassed by people, the other because of an abusive relationship.

When I was 11 my dad allowed me to drive. It was a quiet road down a forested mountain at night, and I learned two things:

My dad trusted me enough to drive down this mountain road at night, and driving a car is surprisingly easy

I talked two people out of suicide. I guess you could call that manipulative, but in a good way.

Oh I know about Paint Tool SAI 2, the version I’m using is 1.1.0 of SAI 1, which is pretty ancient haha.

For drawing, definitely Paint Tool SAI! When I began drawing digitally, a friend gifted me two programs for me to use, Illustrator and Paint Tool SAI. I ended up settling on the latter. It is a very old program that got released in 2008, but it is lightweight, fast, stable, and has really good blending and pen stabilization options!

Digital 2D art drawn in Paint Tool SAI 1! I’ve been using that program for as long as I’ve been drawing digitally and honestly wouldn’t settle for anything else. I don’t typically draw everyday, only when I’m in the mood for it. To get ideas I’ll try doing random rough sketches and see what I vibe with, othertimes I can get inspired by movies, videogames or anime!
