Oh, hi! I am newoob here and i want to start making art. Yes, you didn't misread me. I dont think i have any drawing talent, but i always wanted to make graphics to games and such (exacly as in this portal, what a coincidence). Would you kindly give me so advices (including what programs should I use etc.). Thank you much.
P.S. If a thread like that was mead before, admins/mods please quickly delete this topic and send me link to the one that existed before mine as i searched and failed to find it. Respect.

what do you mean by "art" are you referring to the art portal or the flash portal? Many people use programs like Photoshop and GIMP for art, or you can paint something with traditional means (paints and canvas) and upload a picture of it. (However, straight photography isn't allowed)
if you mean the animations and games, that program is called Flash. Both are from the company Adobe. You can download 30 day free trials
GIMP - a free photoshop-like program
There are a number of ways to gain experience you can read up on Photoshop tutorials on the net, and even view photoshop tutorial flashes. We even have a giant Flash Tutorial section
if you get stuck or need some advice or a critique of your progress you can feel free to ask specific questions on Flash in the Flash Forum and on Art in the Art Forum

Yeah, I highly recommend GIMP. It's a fantastic program, some very fun tools, only thing that's a little trouble is bending lines, but if you have a tablet, you're pretty much all set to go with GIMP.
