I ended up going through three different digital painting programs to figure this one out, ugh! I have been using Krita and absolutely love it. However, it does not play well with my Huion graphics tablet. After spending 45 mins (which is essentially all of my free time in a day) of trying to coax the two of them to talk to each other, I gave up.
