Last night I was thinking of starting drawing concept art. And i'm not shitting you, this morning my mouse broke 
Using my dusted wacom tablet now
Anyway, I was wondering, if people worked with painter. And if they prefer painter or photoshop. And what is better for making textures?
In the end I would like that I would be better in making textures as well.
O yeah good tutorials are always welcome!
Well... Painter is a very nice soft to make handpainted things since... it's a paint tool ! You'll have lot more of control on your brushs compared to photoshop but from what I experienced with Painter and photoshop, I don't remember that I was able to work with photos as easily as with photoshop.
I cannot imagine myself using a backed Ambient occlusion from a mesh and creating a selection mask from with painter.
Futhermore, if you are planing to work into a video games studio, everybody use Photoshop and since your teammates will certainly needs to use your work, it's certainly a better choice to stay on photoshop =)
Keep Painter for your personal pleasure.
thanks, photoshop it will be
Yea definitely stay with photoshop if making textures is part of your goal. Ther's a lot of overlap what you can use from concept art to textures (your brush set/settings, masking techniques, color swatches etc.).
