Just wondering what art software people are using to make the fluffy pictures. Thinking about trying my hand at art one day to better convey my stories - trying to work out where to start!

I personally use my sketchbook to start then transfer to Ibis Paint X on my phone, my tablet stopped charging to I’m restricted to the smaller screen.

Damn, i was going to make a joke about microsoft word but you specified art.
GNU Image Manipulation Program, because it’s free, and a cheap huion drawing tablet. Have to do it on and old MacBook, though, since it has a hold to right click feature on Windows which makes it unusable. The tablet, that is. That’s part of why my images are such low resolution, too, since I don’t bother making it bigger than the screen.

I started on paint 3d and I’m now working with paint .net. just mouse and desk top, but maybe I’ll get a tablet for Christmas. It’s fun already, has layers I can play with, but it does take ages to manage detail.

I use Emacs for all my writing, but I think the humor might be a bit niche on that one.

mostly Sai, but sometimes I might switch it up and use Corel, and either Wacom Intuos 480 or Huion tablet
Gimp for drawing, Abiword for stories.
Paint Tool Sai 2 and touchscreen notebook, or ibis Paint X on my phone
I’ve done all my art on my Android phone using Autodesk Sketchbook. The Sketchbook app is completely free and is fully featured enough to do most things I need. For editing I use the free version of Picsart. I’ve bought a number of inexpensive stylus over the years and it does it job well.
The only investment is a few dollars for a stylus to start drawing, it really is a great entry point.
