Photoshop, if you have some bucks to spend. You can also buy a year(or so) long plan with monthly payment option. Or Gimp, it's for free. Pretty powerful and you can add brush like effects

I use Krita, it works brilliantly for me at least. It's for painting, if you want to do editing for free then try GIMP.

Krita: https://krita.org/en/

GIMP: https://www.gimp.org/

How can i?

Brush tools didnt add brush like effect in photoshop I use CS6

 

I want to manually paint the image with a mouse not a photo filter

I want something that can add effect like this with a brush tool or something similar with each sweep

You don't use mice to paint you use one of these:

Even professionals can't do "shit" with the mice

Here's a cheaper graphic tablet or whatever they are called, I tried it in a store and really liked it but I never draw so no need for it

Well it's really beneficial to get one of those, it makes your job a lot easier.

Generally I would recommend Krita for digital painting. Free program which works just great. All the others mentioned are also options, I just don't think it's really worth the money when you can get a great program for free too.

 

If you want more info, I have a thread about digital art programs in my signature.

 

And as mentioned before, you will want a drawing tablet for.. drawing. You can technically draw with a mouse, but it usually ends up being a one way trip to carpal tunnel town. Wacom is the industry standard, but Huion for example has some cheaper options.

I personally use Clip Studio Paint myself (You can usually find it on sale for $15), but other popular software like Sai, Krita, Gimp, Photoshop and Paintstorm Studio are pretty popular.

 

Yeah, you definitely need a tablet for sure though.
