TOPIC | Free art programs?
1 2 3
I've always used MS Paint to draw stuff and, let's face it, it's kind of terrible. (I mean, my art isn't too bad on it, but I'm too nervous to publicly post it, so others can't judge it to see if that's true)
Maybe it'd be a good idea to try out an actual art program. So I was wondering if there were any free art programs you can get. I've tried out FireAlpaca before and that's about it. Anyone have other suggestions?

I use Medibang personally! It's a lot like Fire Alpaca, but I prefer it slightly ^^
If you're looking for something a bit more complex though, I recommend Krita! :0 It's got a load of brushes/filters and some other really neat features too!

I've been using Firealpaca for years now, no problems with it at all! And it's free!

I used Medibang paint until I got a new tablet that didn't work with it, and then I started using Krita. I used it for a long time (I've recently moved onto a paid program) and it's about as good as you can get! The brushes are so much better than in other free programs, and it's overall just incredible for something you don't have to pay a cent for.

I have been using Autodesk for a lot longer and it’s really nice. There are some things about it that I personally think are better than procreate (cough cough blending)
