where to creat your own 2d art

Hi all if you know a website that I can download to make art and it works with game salad please tell me. All I know is paint.net and gimp not that good. It wont let me use the art I make on it so please tell me if you know anything.

That's would be a good option for freeware as a lot of people here could help you if you have questions about using it with Gamesalad.
