hi! đ thank you!
on desktop I use Paint Tool Sai (version 2) . I make 80-90% of my art in sai. interface is slightly dated (no dark mmode đ) and no mobile app, but itâs super smooth and fast. and the brush engine is amazing. some of my art files are big and other art programs can lag or crash on them, but sai is always like..relax, I got this
on mobile/ipad I use a scattering of apps depending on mood. my gotos are becoming Clip Studio Paint (paid) and Adobe Fresco (free version) but I also have Ibis Paint, Procreate, Medibang, Autodesk SketchbookâŠ. all of these have varying kinds of free and paid features, multiplatform support, ability to sync w desktop, etc
my drawing program power strat is: try them all for a while!!
when I was new to ipad, lots of the cool good artists were hyping up Procreate. so I bought that. I wasnt⊠super impressed. the layout doesnât feel intuitive to me, I donât like how it hides a lot of palettes away. But bc I spent $$ on it and all these great artists were talking about how amazing it was, I felt like I should force myself to keep using it and get comfortable with it. that was silly, I should have just invested that time into figuring out an app that I didnât have to âfightâ from the start. thereâs tons of apps out there so find what works for you.
I do hate spending money on apps I end up not using much but like. money spent isnt enough to justify sticking with something that makes drawing feel bad!!!
meanwhile I have a⊠complex relationship with Adobe Fresco bc: 1. the features are limited, 2. adobe blows and 3. it tries to get you to upgrade (pay). BUT,, the default pencil brushes in it just feel sooooo nice lmao. so I end up using it a lot for casual sketching just because it just feels good to draw in! :) ultimately thatâs all that matters!
so, play around with everything. and if you donât feel comfortable or proficient drawing in that app that all the big artists are recommending, donât beat yourself up over it, move on!
good luck and hope this helps!!

Clonet Cadet Crying Headcanons
Iâve been in a weird place lately, so that means you all get some late night thoughts I had while drawing sad bois. (Warning its long)
I don't really see the Bad Batch crying too much as adults. (not to say that they don't, just that it takes A LOT for any of them to even begin to cry). I get the feeling that showing emotions was highly discouraged on Kamino.
None of them have *really* cried since they were kids.
Hunter tried very hard to not show weakness around his brothers. He was the leader after all, and it had been drilled into him that leaders kept their emotions in check. If you couldnât control yourself, then you had no chance of controlling a squad. That's what he believed anyway.
When he did cry, it was typically due to overstimulation. The kaminoans would push Hunter's senses to the breaking point during his training. His head and body would hurt so much that all he was able to do was cry.
He tried to hide it and suffer in silence. Typically finding a secluded area where he could cry in peace and quiet. He thought he was sneaky enough. But strangely whenever he came back to the main room, the lights would be dimmer, the outside halls would be free of foot traffic, and there would be a suspicious amount of pillows and blankets on his bed (including a certain stuffed Tooka doll). His brothers never said anything, and Hunter appreciated them for it.
Wrecker was a big kid and had even bigger emotions. When he was really young, he would cry all the time. Cried when he was left alone for too long, cried when he was hungry, cried when he was tired, sad, mad, or scared. Which doesn't sound too atypical for a child. But it was absolutely unacceptable for a military clone.
He was more or less forced to grow out of it.
But things did get better when he was given Lula. Tech had made it for him after he started having night terrors. Lula helped him feel safe and not so alone at night.
A Kaminoan once tried to take her away. Wrecker had cried non stop for days. After it became clear that it was more trouble than it was worth, Wrecker was given his doll back. And she has been with him ever since.
Tech already worried about his worth on the team. He felt like he could easily be replaced by a droid, and because of his deep rooted fear of being outmatched , he would tirelessly try to be as useful as possible. He was constantly upgrading, fixing, and modifying their weapons, gear, and home. So when something just would not work and he couldnât figure it out, all those insecurities would come bubbling back to the surface.
Tech typically would only cry when he was beyond frustrated with a project. When he had been awake for 72 hours and couldn't see straight anymore. He would suddenly throw his tools across the room and just break down. Hunter was typically the one to lead him away from his desk and force him to sleep. Tech always fought him on it, but as soon as his head hit the pillow, he would be out.
Crosshair has only cried a couple times in his entire life. And when he cried itâs typically because he was mad. Mad at the world, the Kaminoans, the regs, himself. He knows the world is against him and his brothers. And because of that, he expects near perfection from himself. He will stay at the range for hours upon hours until he can barely feel his arms. He knows that they have to be the best, or they risk being âdecommissionedâ. He can't allow that to happen to any of his brothers.
Once during a simulation, he misses. And because of it, Tech gets hurt. He is so upset with himself that after he checks to make sure Tech will be okay, he disappears for several days.
He runs away when he cries, he doesn't want a soul to see him break. He cant afford to be fragile, not when has to help protect his brothers.
