Update: Good news and bad news!
The good news is my redemption code works after all, and I’ll be able to have Photoshop free for a whole year! Which is super awesome because I was 100% prepared to not have Photoshop anymore, because no I can not afford to spend $20 a month on Photoshop.
The bad news is the redemption code only lasts one year. This isn’t actually a bad thing in the short term, since I’ll have 365 days worth of free Photoshop and I’m super grateful for that. But if my financial situation doesn’t improve by December 5 of next year, then I won’t have Photoshop anymore unless I pay for it.
Honestly, this little scare has given me the motivation to work as hard as I can, since I know things will only get more difficult for me if I slack off. I just have to keep doing my best to improve until I’m either a) good enough to get a professional art job or b) have enough people following me on Patreon so I can have that as my full time job.

Hey you should definitely check out Krita software if you havent tried it yet! Its fantastic I use it for a ton of different artworks and its completely free! Its on par with photoshop and better in someways. you should give a try if you need a good program but cant afford adobe. I sent a link to it for you!

I was thinking I would use Krita or Medibang if I can't afford Photoshop in a year's time. Thanks for the suggestion.
