    I'm not even sure what the exact name is, hehe... I really cannot draw. I am terrible. But I have a lot of ideas and would like to express myself. I would really like to get into computer drawing as a means of self expression, but I don't know where to begin. Where should I start? What programs should I get?

    Have you toyed around with Microsoft Paint? It's built into Windows.

    I create most of my fractals with a free program called Tierazon. Including the one below in my sig.

    For 2d stuff, I prefer Painter 10, but its expensive. Around $300 retail.

    Photoshop is the industry standard, but it takes a long time to really get good with it. $$$

    Terragen is GREAT for creating alien landscapes and such. It free! Go get it.

    Bunch of free stuff here. Including paint programs.

    You need to have a decent computer to run the good stuff, otherwise, its a pretty slow show.
