I have Linux, and I am a graphic designer. I learned to use Adobe, but I could not afford the ridiculous prices they charge. I went searching for software that would replace it. I believe my version (Linux Mint) came loaded with Gimp, a popular and suitable replacement for Photoshop. It's been several years now, and I can't remember for sure. I could do most things that I wanted, but I missed Illustrator a lot. It didn't take long for me to discover Inkscape, and I am SO PLEASED to be drawing again! The shortcuts are not at all the same, so there is a learning curve to it, but it sure beat the alternative (which is nothing, because I'm broke at the moment). It also has really nice documentation, including for those migrating from Illustrator. The Inkscape community tutorials are also pretty awesome too. There is actually a lot of content out there that supports this software.
Anyhow, that's enough back story. Just wanted everyone to know there are GOOD alternatives out there!!! Really. Enough. Moving on...
My niece brought a coloring book to Thanksgiving this year, and I have been inspired to make something of my own. It's still in progress though, so no previews yet. Instead, some simples that caught my eye.
As seen on a Pinterest pin tutorial that links to an Instagram page that I couldn't find the original link for. :( The tutorial looks like face painting guide, but I knew as soon as I saw it that there had to be a way to make this in Inkscape.
Sometimes I see things that practically shout make me! Here is cute little label, which I may in the future make into a free printable.
There's more where these came from, but that's for another day.
Cheers!
