What programs to choose for design?

Question

User interface

Greetings. I want to start designing logos, banners and websites. Previously, I used Adobe Photoshop, but now I'm going to go to a higher level and start drawing simple vector drawings, logos or abstract inserts on the site myself + there were ideas to use 3d modeling. A little more detail on what is needed:
1. The ability to draw (without a tablet) abstract patterns, simple characters, some sprites.
2. Make a 3d model of some object, for subsequent insertion into the project (I know that it will not work as a 3d object, but somehow.)
I found a lot of different programs, but I want to listen to advice for such tasks. At the same time, where is it really better to do design for the web, banners, logos, etc.

Answer 1

For 3d - free blender or paid cinema4d.
For a vector, an illustrator for the complex, a figma for the simple.
For raster - photoshop.
For sites / interfaces - figma.

Answer 2

You can't do it in one editor.
The choice of tool should always be based on the expected result + your own skills.
For example, for simple vectors, fast resizing, I use Sketch, for Figma websites, for banners - GWD, for raster - Pixelmator. For freehand drawing, maybe Affinity Studio. And everyone will have their own set.

Answer 3

For interface design and drawing simple or complex vector shapes, I recommend Adobe XD, it's free and quite simple ui.
To insert and process 3D models, you can use Adobe Dimension, while integrating very easily with Adobe XD.
There are quite a lot of applications and programs for creating 3D models. But on my own behalf, I’ll say that Blender copes with this for my tasks (drawing simple shapes, modeling, sculpting, and much more + working with light and rendering), especially after the release of version 2.8, the interface has become more casual and convenient.
There are enough lessons for all these applications in youtube, so it remains only to dare!)

Answer 4

I used to use Adobe Photoshop, but now I'm going to take it to the next level.

This is perhaps brilliant.
1. For drawing in vector, there is either Adobe Illustrator, or for simpler tasks, Adobe XD. For drawing in raster - Photoshop. Which, by the way, still knows how to solve simple vector problems through the Paths tool.
2. There are many things for 3d. I doubt that it is required to create realistic complex 3D images. So, again, 3d objects from Photoshop.
As a matter of fact, I understand that you are just starting. My advice - don't go after a lot of programs, it's better to study one, but in more detail. And this is Adobe Photoshop.
