2. Mermaids by Arwassa

Mermiads is my new illustration series, six new works where I do my own interpretation of these popular creatures.

“I like to collect seashells!

I wonder what we have today for lunch, maybe we go down to the darkest depths to looking for something to eat.

Don’t mistake me for my sisters they are all like me, they are the only friends I’ve had, I will never ever leave them, they make me feel so blue and immense.

We like to play between the sea currents, swim beside the young whales, we hide among the corals, go to hunt to the marshes or recover lost treasures.

Tiny traveler,
are we going to appear in your dreams or in your nightmares?”

3. Cheap and free vector software to get you started!

So you want to get started creating your art digitally, but somehow that humongous software price tag is holding you back?

Here are two THREE vector app solutions I found just for you:

NeoOffice Draw (FREE): This is part of a family of open-source office apps that work on Windows, Mac, and Linux machines. The drawing application is basic, but it does everything I need to. It’s free to download, but if you like it I highly recommend donating so they can keep developing new versions.

VectorDesigner ($70): This is an excellent value. From a company called Tweakersoft, this app does everything I need to create simple vector graphics. It has some nice effects, too.

InkScape (FREE): I did not have this in the post when I first published it, so I’m correcting the error! InkScape is another open-source app that runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, and there’s even an “unofficial” Fedora version out there.

I work in the Adobe Design Suites on a Mac. I started years ago using CorelDraw on a Windows machine. I sometimes dip my virtual pen into the well of an Ubuntu machine (because I’m geeky like that).

One of the things I’ve learned over the years since is that the tool is not the most important thing in creating artwork.

It’s your imagination. That’s free.
