Which programs are best to use for making adoptibles or just art in general?
I am sooo not into computerprograms what-so-ever and i would like to put art online. I also would like to MAKE art with some kind of PC program. I've read the tutorial in this section but i guess i'm not quite there yet. I just need some help.

I really want to join this but i can't seem to figure out how. Can some of you tell me about how you started with making adoptables or regular art on your PC? I don't know if this is the place to post it but thought it would fit the best here.

I've always used Paint Shop Pro. I think I started with version 6 and moved up to version 8. I realize that even this is outdated now, but I'm content. Smile

I use Adobe Photoshop, it's got a lot of tools which can be hard to wrap your head around but there are heaps of tutorials out there to teach you how to do specific things.

I use PSP 8. Like SDS has mentioned, it is outdated, but it does the job perfectly for me (where pixels are concerned) Smile

I just downloaded GIMP. It's free and it has done good for me so far.

I also used to use SumoPaint which is a free online digital art program. It's not the best for adoptables but it is wonderful for regular art and also needs no download.

TwistedBrush Open Studio is another free download I found once. It has some really nice brushes and effects in it.

DeviantArt has a paint program on their site where you can draw and then upload it straight to your DA page Smile

I use Paint Tool SAI and Photoshop. Everyone is different based on the look they're going for and what's easier to get a hold of.

I also use SAI. It's my favourite and I've used Paintshop Pro, Photoshop and Gimp.

i guess, if you start, anyprogramm with layer should help. i would suggest paint tool sai or photoshop elements! they are easy and if you need tutorials about working with layers, i can give you some. ^^
