There will probably be limited drawing and painting capabilities using these two programs.

Yes, it's illegal. Legally, you face a fine between $750.00 and $150,000.00 as well as yup to five years in prison. Realistically, you're more likely to get a virus of some sort.

It is not legal to download commercial software without paying for it. Besides there are lots of free alternatives, like this one for example: http://www.getpaint.net/
