EDIT: I have GIMPshop. No, this does NOT mean you should PM me so you can 'sell' me a bootlegged version for Gaian gold, or 700 dollars in real life.

Hmm, I think "Adobe" and "Photoshop" are the same thing. xD It's called Adobe Photoshop. It's pretty expensive, though. You could get Paintshop Pro, it's much less expensive and you can pretty much produce the same effects as you can with Photoshop. It's still $100 if you get PSP9. But it's less expensive than Photoshop, so yeah.

Also, if you get a Wacom tablet, they often come with CG art software. Like Corel Painter Essentials 2. Or whatever. It's pretty cool. And if you get the tablet, don't worry about getting a huge one. Just get a 3x5, they work just as well as larger ones. Took me less than 4 minutes to get used to it, though it differs from person to person.

i use adobe illustrator and my art teacher gave me the download! so i think that means its bootlegged..

i use Adobe Phtot 7.0 its a pretty complex program but once you understand all its tools and how to use layers so on so on it gets easier and easier eerytime you draw and soon you master it. You can use Oekaki sites too for drawing, their free, all you have to do is join and you can copy your pictures and post them wehere ever you want. You can even look at other pictures tht users drew on the oekaki and you can even rplay your drawing animations. They're really fun

I'd guess most of those top 10 artists use either Photoshop CS or some Coral program (niether of which I have). Yes, Photoshop and a drawing tablet are nearly essential (they are when you start using them) and I'd suggest you invest in both when you can. Until then, practice with a pencil and paper. If you can't do that, you'll get nowhere on any program. Good luck and, if you live in Indiana, I'd help you out.
