For those that use computer programs to create their art, what do you use and how much does it cost? I have been wanting to transfer my pen-and-ink skills to graphic design for a while I just hadn’t had the money to purchase a program. If I know what I’m saving for it might help. Thanks 
I use a variety of programs.
The most commonly used by most digital artists are CorelDRAW, Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop.
None of these are all that cheap.
