If you need a good paintprogram, with unique features, but don’t have an arm and a leg to spare, try DogWaffle. It is a strange name for a very good program and it has a free version. If you like it, or need the newer features, you can always upgrade to the latest version. For only US$67 you have an awesome, especially aimed at artists (so it’s not really targetted at photographers and photo-editing like PhotoShop, although it will do just fine in comparison). It has a nice feature onion-skin (for old-fashioned animation), a particle engine for sparks/fireworks/rainfall, and lots of other goodies found only found in programs costing ten times as much. Check it out, you won’t regret it.
