I use Krita! I personally love it! It is free! It took awhile, but I don't really use any other resources to help me, I like to learn the hard way, lol |

I have been using medibang paint pro, which is entirely free (I believe it's made by the same people who made Firealpaca, which I used before, but the only real difference is that you can animate in FA.) Anyways, it's super easy to learn, and the tools are rather useful. Recently, I've been trying Krita, and with the help of some other members and youtube, I've been getting the hang of it (Krita is free too, but has plenty of more brushes, filters, layer options, etc).
I love using Medibang! Krita is great for backgrounds is what I found, but of course, you can make digital pieces in either one. Medibang, although limited, is a great way to get started with digital art in my opinion. It's free, you can download brushes, make your own, upload ones from the internet, etc. Plus it's free, and super easy to learn considering how many tutorials there are.
As stated before, Krita and Medibang are both free (so is firealpaca). I don't think there's any premium things with either.
Medibang is super easy to learn. Krita is a bit more complicated. |

I use Autodesk Sketchbook for all of my art. It's free and it's definitely one of my favorite art programs I've used. I'd say it's fairly easy to learn and there's a pretty good variety of brushes. They're all sorted based on type and there are a ton of custom settings you can change to make them better suit your needs. |

#1. What digital art program do you use? I also use Krita. (: #2. How do you like it? I absolutely love it. I've tried fire alpaca as well but I couldn't figure it out (that's probably on me, not the program, though; I prefer straightforward interface and krita was easy for me to pick up since it's similar to gimp), and I haven't found any limitations within krita that would make me want to change programs. (Other than some slight lag issues, but that's easily fixed by using smaller canvases and brush sizes and minimizing how many layers you use.) #3. How much did it cost?
Nothing! #4. How hard/easy was it for you to learn the program. As I stated above, krita was easy for me to learn since it's so similar to gimp, which is a program I was already familiar with. I watched a handful of youtube tutorials to help as well (I can dig those up from my bookmarks if you'd like and send them to you, just let me know!) and they were really great. Most of the tools are pretty self-explanatory and if you spend some time playing with the program you'll probably figure it all out yourself. Another upside is a lot of players on here use the program so there's a lot of people to ask if you're wondering about anything! |

#1. What digital art program do you use? Krita #2. How do you like it? I love it! You can also download different brush bundles if you aren't satisfied with the default ones. Very diverse and expansive. #3. How much did it cost? Free like dirt! But much better ;) #4. How hard/easy was it for you to learn the program. As simple as pie. Easier than me typing this out, actually....I'm not a good speaker... |

#1. What digital art program do you use? Krita - #2. How do you like it? A lot - #3. How much did it cost? Free - #4. How hard/easy was it for you to learn the program. It can be a little confusing just because there are so many buttons and options, but they are all worth learning. Plus the Krita developers are constantly updating and changing it, which is a good thing for it's progress and bug fixing :D |

I use firealpaca, it's free and I really enjoy it :) I've tried Krita and medibang (both are great, but my favorite right now is firealpaca) . It's a great program, there wasn't much of a learning curve for me (and there's ton of tutorials if you need help). I love the layer modes and the fact that it doesn't lag when I make my giant canvases LOL . I need to spend some more time learning Krita before giving an honest assessment, however a lot of artists use Krita and Medibang and create amazing art! . I would suggest trying a bunch of different programs and seeing which one you like best |
