anyway this a is just a quick thing and it will be better later, give me some feedback on how to make it better

I recently just found this http://www.photoshoponlinefree.com/

I have Photoshop CS4 now, but I started with PhotoDeluxe. I think any Photoshop related program is good to have and know your way around.

Message me if you have questions, I'm happy to help you out!

You may also want to say something about the focus of this thread. Programs only or extended art community?

^i think since this is in the art section people are gonna know what this is for

anyway, yes useful links i think this was REALLY needed

Perhaps I should help with programs. Since not everyone has such electronics for some of the programs. Perhaps we should add in the 3DS drawing programs?

Like Colors3D some people use it and it cost $7 (well rounded up of course.)

added
should i add prices?

Yeah I think you should. So people looking for good programs under a certain budget can find such a program.

You should get one of the mods to sticky this since its something many can find useful

If you guys want to sticky this as a handy resource, I can do that. Maybe you can use the topic for Q&A stuff too? @.@

alright, updated title

Why hasn't this been sticky'd yet?

Again! Why hasn't this been sticky'd?

Anyway, here's a good site to do your own gifs and avatars.

Also here's a online art/gif maker. http://www.ezimba.com/index-ln.html

For gif and editing needs. It's free.

Here's a few more art programs for the Nintendo 3DS that might be good to add to the list.

Comic Workshop

Pokemon Art Academy

Inchworm Animations

Sorry I don't have prices for them.
I think there's one more art program, but I can't remember it right now.

This is a good idea. ^u^

I use Sketchbook Pro for all my art stuff (Idk what to link, but I hope this helps as a good suggestion to add to the list).

Omg you use it too!? Lol

Btw, have the programs Procreate (paid), Adobe Sketch and Adobe Line (both free) that are good ones ^.^

Stickied the thread. Since it is meant to help others find the right art program to make art. With a lot art programs showing up I think it would be a wise idea for it.

Now we just need arceus to update that first post

Ye. Also Flpnote 3D came out for those with a Club nintendo account should get it before June 30th

For people with iPads, there's ArtRage. I don't remember how much it costs, though.

Paint Tool Sai 2 practical beta is available if people want to try their hand at that.

I use sketchbook express, it's free but with fewer tools etc then sketchbook pro. (But be warned, if you don't make a sketchbook account you won't get as many tools!)

Does anyone know of any free animation programs that are decent and works on a tablet?

Sadly I do not.

Technically there's Photoshop CS2, which has animation features. CS2 was released as freeware and I can confirm it works on a tablet. c:
(It's not the best software as far as animation goes, but it's probably the best you'll find for free.)

EDIT: Almost forgot - for those who are interested, here's a link to a legitimate copy of CS2. I know a different one's already been linked, but this one doesn't specifically require an Adobe account so it's a little easier to download. (Have tested it)
