There's Paint.Net

I prefer it over Gimp

GIMP is good if you're using Linux on an under powered machine, but there's much more available that works much better.
Personally, for free windows apps, I would choose Paint.net rather than the port of GIMP.

Yes Paint.net is free, and it works quite well and is always getting updated.

Hum, never heard of Paint.net. Maybe I should try it since I'm on a Windows system. Thanks!

I'll check it out and ask if I can download it. (Fiance's computer xD ) I'll tell him if I like it I'll get rid of Gimp...he should let me :/

The only thing I don't like about gimp is the long loading when it first starts up :/

No it's not like MSPaint, it's much higher quality. XD
It's more like a less extensive Photoshop.

Gimp is nice. D: At least for the basics of stuff. And for learning, like I must learn, it is quite fitting. ^^

I've done some art in GIMP while I had been using Mandriva Linux as my primary OS. (Long story.)

Now I use SAI, Painter, and Sketchbook Pro.
Often times I use Oekaki boards too.

I'm artistically challenged and don't have the patience for doing doodling on the computer. So I admire anyone with that kind of patience/ability. ^_^;

A friend has Sai and she showed me how to use it. I'm actually contemplating saving up the money to buy it.

SAI is awesome, I use it for my lineart.

I used to use Photoshop for my art, but since my tablet pen became retarded, I use Corel Painter

Yeah, Lynzel uses SAI for her linearts. She's gotten pretty good at using it.

I don't use Photoshop anymore, haven't for a long time.
If I really need it for effects, I've got master collection CS3 somewhere.

Normally I just install Soundbooth though.
