    Free, opensource digital painting program. It's pretty darn good!

    for SCULPTING. you haven't truly sculpted in 3d until you've done it with a pressure sensitive pen tablet. It's extremely intuitive once you get a feel for navigation. If XP pen has an app to set custom shortcuts, you might want to figure out what works best for you. Usually some combo of CTRL/ ALT/SHIFT to zoom/pan/rotate
    also free and open source, and has some new 2d animation capabilities too

    Autodesk Sketchbook Pro

    This used to be a really reasonable priced software. Now it looks like it's completely free. Great brush engine, especially the pencil. The entire UI is made for pen interaction so you don't need to rely on a keyboard as much. Feels most like drawing on paper, somehow.
