Ideas for some projects I have

Post Reply New Topic

I have a few ideas for some projects I've been thinking about doing. But I need some advice.

I have a few ideas for children's books. I thinking about how I should do illustrations. I can draw, but I'm thinking about what software I can use for that purpose. I could draw by hand, but I think that I'll still have to scan the illustrations and use software to enhance them. So would it be simpler to just draw them in a software suite to begin with? Can anyone suggest some good illustration software suites? Preferably free or cheap ones.

My other idea is for T-shirts. I'm an atheist, and my ideas are for T-shirts that criticize aspects of Christianity and Islam. I will also need to use illustrations for this. But I'm also thinking about how to promote and sell them. I know I can post them on websites like Tspring, but I don't have a platform to promote them.

What are you guys' thoughts?

There's a difference between valid criticism and unjustified hate speech. I disagree with certain parts of those religions too, but I approach discussions in a calm way and explain my points. I understand that might not be something to put on a shirt, but it's just an observation.

My ideas are to highlight how certain aspects of religion that conflict with science, modern Enlightenment values, or even simple logic. That has nothing to do with hate speech.

That seems OK. There will always be someone who's offended by your point of view though - that's just how the world is.

If you are critical, even in the most passive way, about religion, race or homosexuality, it's still considered hate speech and everyone gets offended (it's not hate speech, but it is considered hate speech by the snowflakes of today). The easiest way to not get called a racist or hater or homophobic is to just pretend to accept everything and agree with everything. Having your own opinions is practically illegal these days.

Unless it comes to autism or other developmental disabilities or neurodiverse, that hasn't been protected by the law yet and so people are still allowed to get away with expressing all these biased autism hate sites and we have to just ignore it and move on...

I have found drawing programs very hard to master and slow to use, but others have better luck. OTOH, tweaking a scanned drawing can be easy most of the time, but with the hazard of leaving unwanted elements, such as the basic background tone.
