Which art programs do you use? Which don't you like? Why?
I use Adobe Photoshop CS3 and MS Paint, currently. I like them because they are... Most easy to use. I have used GIMP, Paint tool SAI and many other programs. I did not like SAI because I found it's interface difficult, and I stopped using GIMP because it took forever to load. But it was a good program, one which I stuck around for a long time (until I got PS that is)

Photoshop - it has great tools and a lot of features, and you have a lot of tutorials on that too ^^

I don't mimic traditional styles, because I'm not good at it. I pixel and CG in their respective styles ^^

- The color changing trick on Ms Paint, to experiment with different colors and to see what suits best.
- I.. Forgot
