I tried downloading/using Gimp once, I messed something up somehow and then it just wouldn't respond, so I had no luck with that either. I'm hopeless.
Thanks for the reply; sorry I was so late.
Ok, I think what your problem is you give up too easily.
You think that all your fave and other pro artists out there is already what they are when they picked up digital?
No. Everyone had to get used to the digital interface and the awkward bamboo tablet through sheer practice.
I recommend Painttool Sai to get used to because that is the greatest and simplest art program I found.
Try to also find some Youtube tutorials about how the tools work, how editting and keyboard shortcuts work, or making your own brush presets, etc.
It's not hopeless. You're feeling what everybody is starting digitally.
However, if you really feel like you really suck digitally, it's also most likely you suck traditionally at pencil and paper. So, you could also have the choice to just draw and improve a lot on pencil first before picking up digital drawing.
