if not in the right forum please move...because i had this question for a while now...but no idea where to put it.

i see all these people with B-E-A-UTIFUL art. like fully colored and just by looking at it i know it was done on the computer...im just wondering...what program/ site do you use? i have good ideas...just...no where to color them except paint ;~;

I use Paint Tool SAI c:

I use GIMP which is "a poor man's photoshop"

so i can download them? c: mmm...

damn...i dont have a tablet...ill just use the mouse...buy one later...

I use either Photoshop, ShiPainter, or PaintBBS.

ShiPainter and PaintBBS are free is you join an Oekaki. And although my Photoshop was free, I don't know where you could get it for free. xD

thank you so much...its just the fact of getting a tablet...or maybe i could barrow a friends...

Aye, there are plenty of different art programs across the internet for you to use. To name some free ones; GIMP Paint.net Artweaver Open Canvas 1.1

And the ones you'll have to pay for; Open Canvas v. 4 Adobe Photoshop all v. Paint Tool SAI

And I think that's all that comes to mind at the moment.

I, personally, use Photoshop and Flash CS3 ^^" So, uh... heh.

BUT. Before I was a lucky bastard, I used Paint.NET. Google it, it's completely free and handles much like Photoshop.

im not sure how to use photo shop...cause im just a loser like that...i got paint tool sai...hope it doesnt cost...much... if it does ill like...get rid of it

Oh, SAI handles well, too. I checked out the demo on that, once. ^^ It was my line art savior before Flash.

And, of course you won't know how to handle programs right off the bat- no one does. The ability to use them as tools instead of flailing around like a fish with it's head cut off comes with practice. The nicer programs are always harder to get the hang of, simply because they have so many cool functions stuffed in them. Play around with them for a while, and sooner or later you'll get the knack.

i made my first piece of art...its letters :'D to bad i cant open it
