What do you use to create graphics?

I have been creating graphics on and off for many years now. I first started out using a free trial of Photoshop and then moved to GIMP to create my graphics whilst learning to better my graphics skills. I now use both Canva and GIMP to create my graphics and have found I have learned so much using both.

What do you use to create your graphics?

I think if I were to start developing graphic skills I would probably work with something like Canva first, simply because it has so many available free assets at your fingertips without having to go searching for them. Not to mention it's pretty easy to get around where as something like GIMP or Photoshop can feel extremely overwhelming.

I just use GIMP for the extremely simple things I do.

Usually Paint Shop Pro. Sometimes Photoshop Elements.

I haven't seen Paint Shop Pro for a long time. :O I used it a long time ago, and I thought it was pretty neat.

You use GIMP? I thought that was more intense than your style? I could a swore you made things in MS paint

I use it like it's MS Paint, though, so you're not wrong!

I’ve used it for yeeears. Like since I was a teenager. Always found it easier than photoshop. I do sometimes use Photoshop Elements but mostly for use with my drawing tablet. Though I haven’t really drawn in a looong time.
