The graphics of the software are praised for their reliability and power, especially considering the price, making it a strong contender for comic creation and graphic applications. Users note that while it offers nice export functions and some vector capabilities, improvements in brushes and color handling would enhance its appeal. Additionally, the use of a graphics tablet is highly recommended for optimal performance, though accessibility remains a concern for some users.

“If there ever comes an update with better brushes and better color handling, this could actually be a contender not just for comic making, but for graphic apps.”
