Use photoshop, you can either download it for free or you can download it for free. Don't look at too many tutorials, rather concentrate on learning the ins and outs of art itself, like composition, depth, colors, the way your brain and eyes interpret pieces and designs,, etc. I'd say its way more helpful to read about it before you even open the program. Google is your friend, deviant art is your friend, you get the idea.
Also don't take Cnc too hard, don't post your early stuff without expecting to get ripped, at least on here. I look back on some of my reactions to earlier cnc and laugh a little. Don't take it to heart and trust that you'll suck balls at it for a few months
