I'm in need of a good software tool that I can use for simple drawing, image manipulation, etc. And I don't have any money to spend. Any suggestions? I've seen GIMP which seems to be very powerful but also seems to have a high learning curve? Anything simpler.
Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!
I use Paint.net. Very simple to use but also limited - however it does most things I need.
Yes Paint.net is great. I use it.
But recently, I use Windows 7's microsoft paint. This is really attractive and handy to use. You may give a try if you have a Windows 7 computer.
The cheapest tools are: A head and a pencil
I can sell you mine if you are missing yours
At sketchfu.com there is a free tool there to use and I highly recommend it! and you can figure out Gimp at your own leisure....
My tools:
Alias sketchbook Pro
Waccom Tablet
Corel Painter Essentials 4
are there any that can be used on a mac? I get really frustrated because there seem to be loads of free downloads that are really useful - except if you have a mac...
I like GIMP myself. It may seem a little complicated but one you start playing with it you will get the hang of it.

I recently got back into free sketching images then editing them on the computer. It is quite fun. I use to draw all the time but only recently, maybe 2 or so years ago, did I start using software (Gimp) to edit my work. Anyone out there into graphic design or drawing? I would love to see your work.

So I had our designer whip up a little something for those of you who don't really feel like doing this HubChallenge after all of the pain and suffering that you went through during the last epic 100 Hubs in 30 Days that we did back in May: I thought that it was pretty funny (and of course Darkside...
