Well, the best place for someone to start is GIMP. Quite alot of people use that, and it's 100% free

Hmm, as Skylarrr said, GIMP's one of the bests programs to make art. But if you want to make texture sets, I'd say the best one is Mudbox.

Thanks skylarr an Xaeon for the tips, Ill try those out.

Thank You, Ya make great videos btw Sly! keep em comin

Can confirm the excellence of these two. GraphicsGale for pixel art, Krita for pretty much everything else. GIMP is also very solid, although i've found that Krita is marginally better for painting, and GraphicsGale is better for spriting. But, GIMP can do both, and in the end it's really up to personal preference.

Do note though, Krita can be a bit hard to set up, so for starters, GIMP is probably better.

GIMP and Surely, Paint :v

Photoshop CS6 or the last version of Gimp or also Adobe Art Studio if i said good.

I use paint.net for heads like most of my heads now (my avatar = head)
It's kind of fun creating your own, i recommend gimp or Paint tool sai

Also, Azzeffir. photoshop isn't free.
