I don't do much digital work. I mainly stick to pencil. It just works best for me. But I do use paint.net for my digital works. It's easy, simple and gets the job done. My avatar for example.

I use a program called paint tool SAI that you can get a 30 day free trial on it, but even after the trail expries you can still use it fine with layers and everything.
But the best choice would be to make an account on an oekaki website. They have multiple free drwing programs and the best one is called chibi paint. Its a clean and smooth system with lots of awesome functions.
Heres a link to the oekaki i use - Bkaki
very friendly environment, awesome artists and a great way to get started in your digital works career!
heres an example of a piece i did there
happy drawing!

I can name off a few.
SOme really awesome programs are photoshop, and macromedia flash mx.
If you are too poor to purchase them then your out of luck (Or you can find a free copy somewhere out there)

I think Both take a lot of skill, but I prefer hand-drawn art because... well... I like old-school.

I gots to agree with you guys, traditional is all i've known for, I just thought I'd give digital art a try. Well, thanks for all the programs guys, I'll try em out and see what it does for me, But still I will keep a pencil and sketch pad with me.
