Anyone know of a beginner, free Digital art software that's worth a crap?
Been dabbling in drawing, but I want to make it digital. I have planty of ideas for Concept planes, concept mech and other things. Thanks. |

GIMP is free, and cross-platform.
Paint.net is also free, but I've never used it. Photoshop 2.0 was being "given" away by Adobe last year. There's a post on it, someplace. I will note, there was a young lady who did some incredible work with Paint. Yes, MS Paint. Rebekah Naomi Cox is the name. XCRMonger uses ARTRage on her tablet, I think. Me, I can use GIMP to resize picture. Barely. Good luck! |

Each program gives me a very different style.
Corel Painter 12 is very cool, but challenging. At least for me. 
Photoshop makes for a smoother look 
I've only used PaintPro a little. It's good for cartoony stuff, or for coloring. I like the airbrush tool on this one a lot. 
But I think thus far, ArtRage is my favorite. I like doing quick cartoons and I really like the "Archer" look, and i can nail it with ArtRage. I can crank these babies out fast.

Your stuff in GD is what has gotten me started with drawing/photo editing on computers. Now I need a wacom pad thing

They're really inexpensive, and completely worth it.
