I have a budget of $0 and would love to try out a new program. I've gotten pretty used to Paint.net but there is much, much more I'd love to do. Also, any tips on drawing with the program would be greatly appreciated.

I must be the only one that likes using photoshop, haha. I've never heard of GIMP and some of these other ones, but photoshop has always worked for me and tons of other digital illustrators. There are plenty of tutorials and stuff out there, but eventually you'll find that you come up with your own method more or less. And there are ways you can acquire said program without depleting your wallet. *cough* pirating *cough cough*. Hope that helps! :)

Paint Tool SAI. Download the portable version and use it as much as you want for free.

GIMP
Krita
Mypaint
Inkscape

That's pretty much all you'll ever need.

I use and love Sai Paint Tool. There's a free 31 day trial. It's more for drawing than design though.

That's not very specific. There's lots of software out there that does lots of different things. Even just within the category of graphics software, there is a lot of variation, for a wide sample of different kinds of graphics software, you could take a look at GIMP, Inkscape, FontForge, Blender, Hugin, and Processing.

GIMP might be a good thing to try.
