Gimp works, but I find Paint Tool Sai much easier. Most people on deviantart use Paint Tool Sai, or photoshop. But you can't get photoshop for free as far as I know.
Here's a link to SAI. (I'd choose SAI over Gimp any day.)

Also, if you really don't feel like using your tablet (Which you should use it anyways, once youre used to it, it's amazing)
Paint Tool Sai has tools for mouse users, so you can still have a tablet drawn effect.

Why not Paint.NET? Its pretty good, free and allows transparency unlike normal paint. And Mojang uses it.

The author has clearly stated that he doesn't want to use it.

It's not the purpose of answering a thread to question the question.

The purpose is to answer the question.

Gimp or get the old versions of photoshop. Cs2 is now being given out free by Adobe I believe. It really depends on your personal preface.

Why don't you like Paint.NET? It's awesome! Failing that, try Krita. It's also a good drawing program.

GIMP hands down, it's basically a bit like Photoshop CC (Or whatever it is now xD) minus the text editing and 3D rendering (I think).
I use it all the time and it's really good!

It costs money, but I'm sure there's a free file of it floating around somewhere. (Although I would suggest actually paying for it.)

GIMP is probably the best free image editor, for PCs. If you're planning on using a tablet, (I know this is on android at least) Sketchbook Express is an excellent free image editor,

For software, both Photoshop and Gimp can achieve the same things, but Photoshop is easier to use and more neat/easier to find things in most cases. I have used both a lot, and if you do not want to pay for Photoshop, Gimp is a really good alternative and will not hurt the quality of your images.

do yourself a favor yo




get a graphics tablet. I didn't think I would use mine much but it has like completely replaced my mouse for everything except for playing games. When I'm on the internet, doing homework, organizing stuff on my computer, drawing (!!!!!), I use my graphics tablet.

As for software, it doesn't really matter, photoshop is my favorite to be honest, but I hear gimp is a good alternative and I know a few people that prefer gimp over photoshop (however they typically say they don't like photoshop because they don't understand it or it's weird or some made up thing. It's just which ever one you prefer)

Make sure you got a tablet that has the same proportions as your monitor, or else it will be awkward using it.
It's probably the right proportions. Just use it as often as possible (as I said, I use mine for everything except playing games)

Tablets take time to get used to. You need to practice to get better, just like with every other skill. Try tracing over other people's art and scans of your own sketches to get used to tablet drawing, putting a piece of paper over the tablet can help as well.

As for software, try GIMP, but use Paint Tool Sai if GIMP is too complicated for you. Photoshop is better, but expensive.
