Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this or if it's been posted before (if so, I'm sure the mods will move it and slap my wrists) but I found this cool little art package that simulates real media (pencil, paint, etc.) and it's donation-ware. That means, it's free but relies on your generous donations. It's pretty damn cool for a program this size and "price". Absolutely works best with a tablet though:
ArtRage (http://www.ambientdesign.com/artrage.html)
Check it out!
This should go in "the big list of paint programmes".
