Photoshop? It's quite easy once you understand the basics, so here's a few links :3

Don't be afraid to explore Photoshop! That's half the fun! ;D
if you'd like anything more specific, just ask :3

You can use Illustrator too, but that's mostly used for Web page designs

I actually think your art is quite good, you just need a little practice with your side-views wink
Otherwise, you're fine, it'd be nice to see more color though heart

photoshop is easier than ohters i think =/ im using it,

photobucket is good to save your pics with a link and can be showed on a web page, illustrator is something sophisticated, and i think that that program is more useful to make slogans or publicity, but it can work with draws too.

About illustrator i just used that to make the lines to my work with the pen tool, but if you check your photoshop youĀ“ll see that that tool is there in photoshop too xP and because of that im using photoshop ever,

some programs are cool too, painter, opencanvas, and more

there should be a small arrow next to the image of the brush, click that

There are many types of brushes to use, explore to find the right one for you :3
I usually use the 1px brush for my lineart because it keeps it nice and clean heart
oh, and remember to always have your lineart on a separate layer!

I'm just doing this to be helpful, so I don't mean to offend you
These are shown in the order of the pictures:

1. looks pretty good, except the arms and hands are too big for the rest of the body, and the back of head looks a little off
2. looks good, although I think the shoulders should be showing a little more, again the back of the head looks a little off
3. Looks really nice C: the hands are just a little big, and the folds of the clothes don't look right, but I think that's one of the hardest things to do D:
4. She's a bit too skinny, and her breasts seem to be up a little high
5. couldn't find anything wrong with this one :3 placement of the neck looks kinda funny though
6. the head is a bit big, and again the chest seems off....hairline is a little low, and the eyes are a bit far up
7. looks good C:
8. again, the forearms and hand are too big, and the clothes look like they need more folds (mostly in the leg area)
9. Looks nice, but the hand holding the sword is a little off, the same with the back of her head
10. Hairline is too low again, as is the nose and mouth, the eyes being a little too high

Otherwise, all of your work looks really nice! Keep practicing! C:
If you want, I could post a guide on Human anatomy too.
