Free Programs - The Gimp

You can also download most of the trials for these, though make sure your pc can handle the specs.
wow thank you lady ^^
And to top it off, Gimp just updated their software and added some new stuff for digital artists. So, who knows, that may be a good direction to go if you are short on cash (since it is free).
But, if asked what I would suggest... PhotoShop. This is hands down one of the best applications you will ever own.
Since I have not got into using Painter much (I need to learn where all the functions and brushes are) I can't comment on it, other than to say that I have seen some purely amazing pieces created using it.

I love love love Painter, but it is a voracious memory hog, I wouldn't even suggest using it if you don't have at least 2GB of RAM... or you could work on only teeny tiny files, say 100 x 100 pixels.
I highly suggest Painter...it's what I use the most...although, recently I've been trying to switch over to Photoshop. Painter isn't a bad program...although for comic-book style coloring, Photoshop is better.
It's not that noticeable though, but Photoshop gives cleaner results than Painter...although Painter is ALOT easier and user-friendly than Photoshop. It's sort of a tradeoff so you'll have to ask yourself which is more important.
i am an aspiring comic book artist as you can see by these pictures my brother jg (or volt or what ever he calls himself now) posted ,i drew them.
