I don't have much money, and MS Paint absolutely sucks. I can't seem to download any better paint program either. What does everypony else use for their digital art?

I'd recommend Krita.  It's as powerful as the latest photoshop, and possibly more so.  Bit of a steep learning curve, though.  But perhaps that's just because I'm so used to photoshop.  Anyway, Krita is probably the best thing out there.

I've noticed a lot of people using GIMP and I do use Paint.net at school... I might try it out.

 

Medibang is pretty awesome. It comes with half tones to make mangas.

Yeah I only have ms paint and it really sucks

Haha, nice to see that the pony who accidentally messed up a paint program agrees with me.  :lol:

It really depends on what you're looking at drawing..
 
If you're just starting out, GIMP or Paint.NET are good places to begin..
If you want to just do more artsy drawing, try something like Krita or MediBang
If you want to make ponies that are vectored like from the show, use Inkscape

Whichever type you choose, be that vector-based, pixel-based, or both.. Having the right program for you is important..

It'll help you make the art you enjoy easier to create rather than being a complete pain to use.. But yeah.. Have fun ^-^

Thanks or everypony's advice! I still use MS Paint but not much, I recently downloaded Paint.net and its working fine. Krita worked fine until some... issues, but yeah, it still works.

I use GIMP and MediBang but I know you're already using Krita so....

On another forum I've been on, many people used GIMP and Paint.net, so maybe I'll try out some more applications till I find one that works best for me.

Ok, I hope you find the just right one!

I found a great one, but it got messed up. *stares at a certain somepony* (don't worry it probably isn't you)
