If you have the right hardware, KVM with GPU passthrough.
You can follow a tutorial like this one.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This looks hard but I got two graphics cards and I am curious so I might give this a shot, thanks!
Do it! Gpu passthru can be a nightmare, but it also taught me the most about linux over the years.
Have you tried running any of those through wine?
Some versions of Clip Studio look supported: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=15102
But Toon Boom Storyboard isn't listed (unless it is part of Studio): https://www.winehq.org/search?q=Toon+boom
Running in a Virtual Box Windows VM may be the quickest path to success.
Unless it relies on a GPU to function.
Or Bottles. That worked wonders with some software.
Don't have a subscription myself but I did find this page: https://forums.toonboom.com/t/toon-boom-on-linux/2911/17
To summarize, people say it'll work with Wine which you can use bottles to configure. They also suggest using harmony instead too as that has a linux version specifically. However, on ubuntu you'll have to install some libraries and use KDE plasma if you want a reasonable UI (for some reason).
Looks weird to implement, and expensive to buy a new version in order to use it. Sorry. You should try running it through wine though if you can and again, bottles is a great program to make that easier if you go that way
As for clip studio paint, looks like using wine with it can be hard and depending on the update, kinda trash. https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=15102
The official docs for Toon Boom Harmony 22 seem to have a page on how to install under Linux (RHEL or CentOS 6 or 7).

You may get it working under Mint but it won't be supported.
You may have to look at a virtual machine or just put up with Windows because you need this software.
Someone mentioned wine, it might also be worth it to try proton.
Seriously. Add it to Steam or Lutris and launch it that way.
gimp?
i need to use some very specific software that runs only on windows. my solution is to pirate it, run it in virtualbox, on pirated windows. this might or might not be appropriate solution for you. shared folders make moving files around manageable
