Recently acquired a Macbook. Formerly a PC, I am unaware of any programs for Mac. Anyone know of any good drawing programs? Up until this point, I've just been using Paint Tool Sai but that's only for windows.

Free Programs:
Art Rage: [link]
Sketchbook Pro Copic Edition: [link]
Firealpaca: [link]
Gimp: [link] (It does have a mac version)

Not so free, but very inexpensive and great:
Manga Studio (Great for inking)
Sketchbook Pro (The full edition)
Clip Studio Paint (Japanese only) [link]

I really like that Clip Studio Paint. However I don't have a Japanese OS. Do you know if there's any way around that?

It should install just fine on a mac.

After installation check the sai thread here for the english patch. [link]

I believe my MacBook is too old. It's from late 2007 and is running snow leopard so that's probably the reason. I can't stand this thing though so I think I'm going to sell it and get either a better one or go back to PC.

GIMP is fun, but Photoshop is another alternative. But it's got a high price, so if you're against pirating, you better have quite a bit of cash.
