Art Programs you use?

I primarily use gimp for my drawing needs. I wasn't keen on photoshop, but that's probably just because I don't know how to use it.
For making backgrounds, I like paint.net.

It's funny some people don't know how to use photoshop, it's the easiest program in the world to use.

Anyway,

Anime Studio Pro 8 (for animations, can export png files, great for making complex animations on the fly!)

Photoshop CS3

I use Photoshop, GIMP, Blender, Inkscape, and ASEprite.

I use Anime Studio Pro 8 for animations and Xara Photo & Graphic designer 2013 for vector illustration.

I usually get a picture of what I want from Google Images, make the background transparent in Photoshop, then shrink them to the right size.

Examples:
