Need graphics program?

Hi, complete noob to all this graphic online stuff.
Would really like to have a go with it and have some fun.
I can free hand paint great but i belive i need photoshop or something like that to make a real work of art?

Suggestions would be nice on what programs ill be needing to make this sigs everyone has?

Plus i dont fancy paying the retail price for the program so ripped versions would be appretiated to or links to them.

thanks!

 

Use google, google is your best friend.

Google up, "Adobe Photoshop CS4 Torrent Download". Usually piratebay has several torrents where you can go to. Photoshop is probably THE most used GFX program out there. There's a few others that use other programs, but mainly, photoshop does the job. It is very helpful, the tools are amazing, and not only that, but there are tutorials everywhere on the web on how to do certain things with photoshop.

 

You could get a digipad, they're not very expensive and very handy for people that like free-hand.

Other than that you could start off with gimp if you can't ahold of adobe photoshop. Look up the required specifications for each photoshop before you get.

 

You should get www.gimp.org. Its 100% free, and I use it all the time for my graphics. You can find a lot of tutorials for it too.

i think you mean www.gimp.org
