Clip Studio Paint is by far my favorite software for raster illustration. It is a software dedicated to illustration & frame by frame animation, and it shows.

Rive has become one of my favorite design tools at the moment. The ability to create fully fleshed out state machine animations without a single line of code is truly remarkable. On top of that it also has great performance and low file sizes.

Adobe Illustrator is probably my most used software of all time. Although I use more specialized software for many design tasks nowadays I could definitely make due with Illustrator if it was all I had.

Adobe After Effects is a fantastic software for motion graphics and is what i use for most raster graphic motion.

Adobe InDesign is a must when doing multipage designs for print, especially if it has a lot of text and layout.

Adobe Photoshop/Lightroom is fantastic software for photo editing. It's also great for digital illustration though it's not my prefered software in that regard.

Webflow is a fantastic tool if you know how to code websites, but prefer a more visual approach. It truly feels like prototyping in a design software while you're actually developing the finished product.

Figma is a great way to prototype for web and mobile applications. I also find it to be the best way to make editable layout-heavy designs, as long as they're relatively small in scope.

Spine is very similar to Rive, but its use is more catered towards games. It's a great software to rig game characters without being bound by a specific game engine.
