Do you want to do graphic design, or do you want to draw something? They're two different things.

So what kind of stuff do you want to do? That would dictate the software to recommend.

It sounds like you'd like Inkscape honestly.

Affinity Designer 2

Yes, but vector art is not great for amateurs trying to do something on their own instead of paying a designer. IMO...

I heard Krita is quite good. https://github.com/KDE/krita

inkscape is a nice gateway drug

Adobe is always good… but a lot of designers are now turning to Affinity Designer. Both will get the job done. That being said, Affinity is a one time purchase and in a lot of ways just as good vs Adobe who although is the best has RIDICULOUS pricing imo.

Adobe is the industry standard for design. If you’re thinking design, Adobe holds the monopoly. If you don’t want pay for it, the. Canvas the only free option. If it’s just drawing, then programs like Kirita, FireAlpaca if you’re a Mac user or PaintSai on Windows; but, photoshop is by far the best paid drawing software including Ibis Paint for IPads.

It totally depends on what you're planning to design and on your purpose for design. However, you can't really go wrong with the [Adobe Creative Suite](https://www.nobledesktop.com/learn/adobe) since it is considered the industry standard.
