I've always used GIMP as I am familiar with it and it doesn't cost any money.I have a copy of Corel Painter Essentials 3 that I never installed is that any good?

No idea, never tried itI don't know much about gimp either, but I imagine it has the same brush settings as photoshop. I hate photoshop brushes, they're no fun :(

I'll give it go but I'm not convinced a new program is going to improve my drawing ability :) Bobby Bob Bob also available on http://jbobw.deviantart.com/,

Yes.But I'm biased. I work in Corel Painter, and rarely in photoshop.
I think the main difference with Essentials is it's missing the majority of the brush library of Painter. But so long as it's got Detail Oils you'll be fine (well, 's what I use for lines anyway. You may prefer felt tips or summat).
