what program to make your own clip art

ok i was not sure if any of you know but i would love to make my own clip art do any of you know what program you can use or any good books on it thanks

PaintShop Pro, Photoshop, Ulead... there are lots of programs out there for creating your own clip art and graphics. They get rather pricey, tho.

do you think coreal paint would work?





thanks for the input on the paint shope pro

Yeah, Corel Paint could probably do some clips too.

cool i have that i will give it a try and see what i can do thanks for your help

I love my Macromedia fireworks. I tried paint shop and just could not get the hang of it. I have a ball playing around with graphics. I use it a lot for my greeting cards and art.

So what does Macromedia fireworks cost is it a expensive program?

and do you know will it make stuff like my sig pic ?

It is fairly pricey like any of the other programs. I just find it easier to understand and I am also being taught by a friend. I have been making scrapbooking items with it such as tabs, tags, and much more. There are three different ones that came with it. You can animate, siggys, web pages, templates, on and on. I am bias I guess you can say because my partner uses it and she is just amazing with her graphics. She is a self employed web site designer and graphics designer freak I call her.



This is one of my latest creations and it was so much fun making it.

Katana,



What kind of graphics are you looking to draw. I know a great deal about drawing graphics and there are a few diffrent types of ways of drawing graphics. I know a some really great sites you can try. these are written for paint shop pro. most tutorials on the net are for paint shop pro. you probably buy and older version on ebay for about 30.00 if you are just starting out.

by doing the tutorials step by step you will learn how to use and manipulate the tools to make your very own creations.

Download a free version of Paint shop pro . Corel and Jasc (paint shop pro) have now merged...
