I have decided to finally act on a dream of mine to pursue a creative hobby, and I hope to eventually get to a point where I am making either webcomics or youtube videos.

Unlike a good number of youtubers already, I am fucking poor, and adobe is the gold standard of editing software and they know it, hence why it's so overpriced.

I would happy to hear of any alternatives.

    I don't know shit about video editing.

    For image editing:

    • Gimp is for editing or combining photographs. The stuff you find on subreddits birdswitharms, animalswithnoneck, and hybridanimals. You can paint in it, but it sucks.

    • Krita is for painting. Use when you would use IRL paints, but don't want a mess.

    • Inkscape is for vector graphics. Things with crisp lines, cartoony things, clipart, that sort of stuff. It has a slightly longer learning curve than the others, but once you learn it, it is by far the easiest and fastest for this specific kind of work.
