Pixlr http://pixlr.com/ My absolute favorite and highest recommended art and photo manip online tool! It's basically a free version of Photoshop and is very easy to use and has some great free brushes! If you don't want to spend the money for photoshop, this is the only online tool I recommend (Not the mobile version though, that sucks) I used this tool for 3 years before I got photoshop and I never regretted using it! I still use it occasionally! |

I'll review Sumopaint. https://www.sumopaint.com/home/
It is free, but gives you paid features.
Sumopaint is not a good website, in my opinion. There are many other free programs. like MediBang, that has everything for free that SP gives you for paying. I used SP for about a year until I was finally convinced to switch to MediBang.
Sumopaint is a website for people who don't want to download a program and are just figuring out digital art. It has basic features, such as the Levels tool, as well as more advanced features, like a spiral tool and different types of blurs. Its interface is dull but extremely easy to learn how to navigate.
However, its interface is uncustomizable. You cannot add brushes, use more than 6 layers without paying, no line correction, and there is no ability to set hotkeys. SP is also quite slow and, in general, an unpleasant program to use in my humble opinion.
If you are /just/ beginning digital art, I would recommend it to learn what the basics of digital art are. I would not use it for more than a few weeks before moving onto a much better program. |

I'd like to review MediBang Paint Pro (desktop version), but I don't have much time right now so I'll edit a review in here later. |

Autodesk Sketchbook - Free Edition https://www.sketchbook.com/?locale=en
Someone can do a in-depth on the Paid Edition please~ I have seen people say the free edition is not as good or horrible, that is not true if you are not a professional artist.
Although it only provides 3 layers (unlimited via purchase), it's good enough for adoptables I'd say. It's a easy-to-learn app for digital art beginners, downloadable on Apple devices, Android* devices, Windows, etc.
Some people said there isn't a bucket fill tool for the free edition, this might need confirmation ^^' It seems to have different features on different devices..
*Some of my friends have reported that on their Android phones, although the Pro version being free, they are unable to have a transparent background.. |

Just a little note to everyone who wants to download PaintTool SAI, I tried the first downloadable link on the website linked in Venn's post and got 3 Trojan viruses. If not for my Virus protection and quick thinking that could have gone worse XD
So I don't recommend clicking the 1st downloadable link on the PaintTool SAI website.
I'm too scared to try the other link so if you want to risk it let me know how it goes. |

No problem, I'm glad I got to it before (hopefully) anyone else did. |

I got one, it's an offline program for people who use Windows computers, it's called Fresh Paint, it's free, but there are in-app purchases.
There is different brush shapes for oil and watercolor paints, there are different types of pencils, a crayon tool, a pen tool and a pastel tool. You can import images if you have a line art you want to color as well. |
