![]() ![]() My primary interest has been digital painting and I found GIMP less accessible for this than Krita. It has some support for vectors and text as well but its focus is on painting using digital “brushes” that lay down various patterns of pixels. It’s niche is about catering to hand drawn digital art and animation over photo-retouching and manipulation. Yeah, Krita probably isn’t as well known as GIMP but it has undergone rapid development in recent times. It’s certainly possible that they could find their path smoother if they’re using the same software so many other people use. On the other hand, the Adobe suite is an industry standard so there are MANY tutorials, courses, books and resources available to learn. If someone wanted to start creating designs without spending a lot of money on software they could just download one of them without worrying about being held back. ~Blender is a very capable and complex 3D graphics and animation program.įew people would use it for shirt design but I mentioned it for completeness.įor anyone just starting out, I think it will take them a long time to outgrow any of these programs. ![]() ~Krita is another 2D raster graphics program that is more focused on digital painting and animation than photo editing. ~Gimp is a 2D raster/pixel graphics program like Photoshop that has photo editing features but can be used for painting. ~Inkscape is a 2D vector graphics program like Adobe Illustrator. ![]() However, I’m a Linux user so I’m quite familar with the major free open souce graphics programs (and they all have windows versions available for download). I haven’t really used to Adobe programs so couldn’t say much about them myself. ![]() Anyway, it’s just human nature to recommend what we’ve used and are accustomed to. I was listening to one of your other podcasts when you were talking about software programs for design and thought to myself, “Lisa is totally biased”. ![]()
