<p><span id="more-22287"></span></p>
<h3>Vector graphics: Inkscape</h3>
<p><a href="http://inkscape.org">Inkscape</a> is a well known and loved Open Source vector graphics editor. SVG is the primary file format of Inkscape, so all your drawings will scale no-problems! Inkscape has been around for many years, so there is a solid community and <a href="https://inkscape.org/en/learn/tutorials/">mountains of tutorials and other resources</a> for getting started.</p>
<p>Being a vector graphics editor, Inkscape is better suited towards simpler illustrations (for example a simple comics style). However, using vector blurs, some artists create some <a href="https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/">amazing vector drawings</a>.</p>

<h3>Digital Painting: Krita & Mypaint</h3>
