    Not fun for drawing. Editing maybe, but not art.

    GIMP is way more oriented to image editing photoshop-style than to digital art.

    though designed for photo editing it is a phenomenal drawing app the thing that can make fire alpaca seem better is how photoshop has more than one purpose and isn't laid out optimally for artists initially but you'll find layouts online if needed

    TECHNICALLY freemium...you can download the 100% free version from the website, they only charge for the Windows Store version. Better Community and Developer support than any other option in this list INCLUDING GIMP.

    It's more hard to use, doesn't have enough controls, and is confusing to learn how to use.
