Software for Artists Artists use all sorts of things to create their artwork including different computer programs. There are two kinds of computer graphics: raster (composed of pixels) and vector (composed of shapes & paths). Generally art programs are either raster or vector, but there are some that incorporate features from both types. While programs such as Photoshop and Flash cost money, there are others that are free. Explore what's available to you and find out what suits your Whirled creation needs. Learn more here.
