i have a big request with consists of two questions; can anyone recommend me some great programs for drawing art? i know there are SAI, Photoshop, GIMP, but i need someone who is good/okay expertise with those programs and tell me the pros and cons for it? i've been using Oekaki way too often, and it doesn't have all the tools i need. cx

and second, what is a good tablet to get? answering one of these questions is fine, thanks. c:

I'll start with the second question, any Wacom Bamboo tablet should be fine. Other cheaper brands often only last a few months, this is coming from research and personal experience, while Bamboo tablets last years, my sister's is about 7 years old and mine about 2, they both work great still. We both have Bamboo Fun tablets, though they seem to be called Bamboo Create now, which is $200. There are cheaper ones also, but they have different focuses, Create is the one made for the sole purpose of doing all kinds of digital art. The other 3 are focused on either work-based purposes, just transitioning from traditional to digital art(less features and such), and photography. You can learn more about them and compare them here: http://www.wacom.com/products/pen-tablets/bamboo

And now the first question, I only used a trial of SAI a couple of years ago so I don't know much about it, and GIMP I don't use often, but I do remember I really liked SAI and the features it had, but I like the layout of Photoshop better. Gimp is like a mix of Photoshop and Oekaki, it has more features but not all the adjustments for the features like Photoshop has. Price wise, well Gimp is free XD You do get Photoshop Elements, Corel Painter, and Autodesk Sketchbook Express(Corel is more for digital painting as the name suggests and I never used Sketchbook) free with a Bamboo tablet though if you get one, which is nice. PS Elements is almost like CS except a few features aren't there. It's not anything that drastic though, i've used Elements for years until just recently, I now have CS6, and unless you want to animate or need to group layers, I wouldn't spend all that money on the CS version, which unless you get a student discount is $700. SAI is the USD equivalent of $60.

It's kind of hard to list the pros and cons, since everyone has their own way of drawing, and features that might mean a lot to mean could be irrelevant to you. I'd say Gimp is the simple thing people start off with when learning to draw, with mediocre lineart and layout, Photoshop is the grand thing which I know little about since I never tried drawing on it, and Sai is sort of in between - not the kind of thing professional illustrators would use, but definitely higher quality than GIMP. Again, I suggest firealpaca, nice free thing which I prefer over gimp.

As for tablets, I've heard many great things about monoprice tablets, though I personally have bamboo fun.

Does anyone know any good art sites, or non art sites which have an art-centric community? (ie, the kind of place where you'd find lots of artshops and things) I'm looking for some more places to hang around, but it's hard to find active ones.
