Best free drawing apps:
Fire Alpaca
Krita
Medibang Paint
Autodesk Sketchbook (don't use it but heard its good)

Some will suggest gimp but I dislike gimp ngl but I use those three!

You can also use:
Ibis Paint (phone)
Autodesk Sketchbook (on phone too I think)

If you don't have a drawing tablet, these programs have something called a 'Stabilizer' which can stabilise your lines! On Firealpaca/medibang its called 'correction'
Most of these apps are found by searching on the internet and downloading

Hope this helps somewhat, if you need any more help lmk!

I highly suggest FireAlpaca, which is the program I mostly use. It's free and easy to learn :D

If you are satisfied with fireAlpaca, then great, but i still wish to recommand Krita and Autodesk Sketchbook (I use the latter on my phone but it can be used on Mac too).

I didn't like FireAlpaca very much, but then some people love it.

Good luck with your new drawing app!
