Alrighty here goes
GIMP - everyone knows about it. Comparable to Photoshop in effects (doctoring photos, burn, smudge, etc) and altering capabilities. Can make or load brushes. Supports windows, GNU/Linux, Apple and has various doorways for different countries to download.
Fire Alpaca- supports various languages. various brushes can be made (more if you know how to script write), .png files can be made into brushes. Recent update now lets you make gifs.
MediBang Paint- from the same parent company as FireAlpaca. If you are drawing comics/manga this is a bit better equipped as it has textures, tones and tiles. Supports English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Can be downloaded to your computer, tablet, Apple Phone or Android. Cloud storage is also an optional add on when you download.
Inkscape - Vectors. Supported on Windows, Apple, and Linux/GNU. Note: if you have Mac/Apple, you’ll need XQuartz to work.
Mischief- Free version: 3 brushes, 3 erasers, transparency, can move sketch anywhere. Infinite canvas. You can zoom in to a minuscule detail and not lose it to blurriness (infinite vector scaling). Buying the full program for $25 gets you a bunch of presets, including color palettes, brushes, layers and the ability to export PSD files. Miscief has something called infinite Vector scaling, which was what I was trying to say above.
Krita- a KDE program that has a lot of textures for rendering, can operated on Windows, Gnome, XFCE, and with some effort OSX. There is Krita Sketch, for touch device, Krita desktop, and Krita Gemini which is offered through steam.
- OSX- some brush engines are missing, there are a few bugs
- photoshop comparable with limitations-Some brushes may load, but not the entire file formatting specifications.
Drawpile- community drawing program similar to iScribble or flockdraw. Enables saving, has pen pressure, layers, and can lock layers to specific users so people don’t ruin each others drawings.
And Here is an entire list of other artistic things people might find useful. Includes 3D and 2D animation, music for games, and other art programs.
