I have a scanner and I enjoy deviant art. How ever I don't post anything for they never look as nice as other designs that used programs. I would appreciate a list of programs for finishing art, fine tuning, etc. Please! pretty please!
Thank you for your time

Also, you should look into Inkscape which is the free version of Illustrator. Again, can do just about everything Illustrator does, more or less.
look into a tablet pen. :D
I used to scan items onto my comp, but they never look as good as drawing them digitally.
to each their own - I prefer to hand draw stuff with a real pencil (clutch) then scan and process. Tablet drawings to me are never as good as the real deal. I do use the tablet extensively for colouring though.
Photoshop VS Illustrator all depends on what you're doing. Making vectors in Photoshop is Rikered while textures/painterly effects in Illustrator is impossible.
