A replacement for microsoft paint? please read?

Question

I occasionally try Microsoft paint in my free time. As I draw, I s***w up what I do on it, which, in the end looks like a piece of c**p. Is there a better, free or low priced way to do this more perfessional like?

Answer 1

GIMP or Paint.net.  Both are free and both have a large user base.
