help me with prompts please!

[badbastion]

Long story short, my old tablet+computer+graphics program are no longer useable, so i'm on a WHOLE NEW SYSTEM with a newer tablet that i'm not familiar with, and a graphics program i'm even less familiar with.

Sooooo, I need to practice hardcore to get good enough to draw things I can actually share with people.

Please give me some prompts! I promise that I will at least try to do each one of them. Nothing too complicated, please, I'm just trying to get used to the new tablet & program.

Alsoooo, does anyone know of any cheap or free graphics programs? Now all I have is photoshop CS4, and I don't love it. I really don't like GIMP, and I can't get Paint Tool Sai (my program of choice) to work on my laptop.

Thanks a bunch!

Oh noes! You've lost PaintTool Sai too! I miss it SO MUCH! I can't find any app that seems to do the beautiful blending Sai did - I've tried CS6, GIMP and Corel Paint. If you do find anything, let me know!

I knoooow, I miss Sai so much! TT____TT FireAlpaca seems like it might do something close, blending-wise - if it does, I'll let you know. I plan to try it out tonight.

I've just downloaded the trial version of ArtRage yesterday and had a play - it looks like it might work quite well once one had practiced with it. It is supposed to be designed to emulate real paint... The paid for version is just under $50.
