Free graphics program Inkspace or Gimp?

[anonymous_user_832619e3]

Just getting some tutorials… now up to drawing programs.

What do you all prefer for a free drawing program… inkspace or Gimp?

I have both, but wonder what you prefer for working with game elements

Thanks

I use affinity designer (Inkscape alt) for ui, and affinity photo (Gimp alt) for some backgrounds and texturing.

Do I need both Inkscape and Gimp? In your opinion?

Inkscape and GIMP are different programs for different uses … there is some overlap but ultimately they are different.

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image retouching and editing, free-form drawing, resizing, cropping, photo-montages, converting between different image formats, and more specialized tasks.

Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editor; it can be used to create or edit vector graphics such as illustrations, diagrams, line arts, charts, logos and complex paintings. Inkscape’s primary vector graphics format is Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), however many other formats can be imported and exported.

You could probably do a little of both in each program but ultimately Inkscape is designed for Vector Graphics Creation and GIMP is designed for Photo Manipulation. So in my opinion, you would need both.

Thanks so much, I shall look for quality tutorials in each. Many thanks…

Will gratefully accept tutorial suggestions if you have them. I am religiously working through my other ones still but will need more in a month or two.

Thanks again
