So recently I came across a fellow artist who was struggling to find a free art program, and considering dropping the large amount of money for a Photoshop license. I know not everyone can afford such an expensive program, so I’ve compiled a list of programs with no cost to download and use.

Keep in mind all computers are different, so not all will work for everyone. Also, I’ve only ever used Windows, so for the most part, I’m not sure if everything will work for Mac. if in doubt check the website linked.

Photoshop CS2 – (Windows, not sure about Mac.)

FireAlpaca – (Windows and Mac)

Sketchbook Copic Edition – (Windows and Mac)

GIMP – (Windows) (Mac)

Paint tool SAI [cracked]  – (Windows) (Mac)

Paint tool SAI 2 beta – (tumblr post on said program)

iPaint – (Mac)

Paintbrush – (Mac)

Pencil – (Windows, Mac)

Paint.NET – (Windows)

Seashore [still in development, ver 0.5] – (Mac)

ChocoFlop – (Mac)

Inkscape – (Mac and Windows)

People who ‘love nature’ but violently hate their native coyotes, spiders, snakes, and scavengers are fake.

Here’s the thing about the post. You don’t have to love or even like every animal. You can dislike things! Humane, intelligent pest control is fine and necessary.  This isn’t the issue and never has been.

It’s violent, blind hatred and hypocrisy that’s the problem. People who gush over foxes and owls and hawks but want coyotes and snakes dead in the next breath. People who will rescue prey from predators because predation is mean. People who find it appropriate to leave sadistic comments on pictures of spiders or snakes someone is appreciating or owns. People who insist on labeling species as ‘good’ or ‘evil’.  This is the sort of behavior that bothers me.

People who only appreciate nature when it’s aesthetically pleasing to them and want to destroy the parts they find ugly and unpleasant don’t truly understand or love it. They love an ideal that isn’t actually representative of reality.
