Photoshop is good, but you need to learn how to use it, which takes time.

I recommend SmartDraw - very simple and intuitive to use. And you can easily create the kind of images you have posted.

It's very similar to AutoCad and you don't need to learn the software like you have to, with Cad or Photoshop.

There is a learning curve for sure.  Its not as easy as Paint.  but you can pick it up.   I like the fact that you have layers features which helps a lot.

I'm no expert graphic designer, but I picked it up!

Wait wait wait....  I dunno if you can put autocad and photoshop in the same level?  Autocad is for engineering/architechtural designs,  photoshop is more so for graphics?

I have a hard time with paint lol as I never used anything like this before. Photoshop will probably be like chinese to me

Haha I'm not saying they're the same, just that you need to spend time learning to use either of them. And SmartDraw is used for drawing engineering stuff too.

SmartDraw is great for drawing the kind of stuff that's in the image Sev posted - simple geometrical drawings that you can easily edit and combine with other shapes, inserting outside images into a frame and so on.

Sevastase, check out the link I posted. You'll be able to create all those images within a couple of days with SmartDraw.

I downloaded it. I saved it. When I try to open it my computer asks me for an option ( home/administrator or whatever else is there ... but I cannot open it nor run it )... As I said, I am quite retarded with software

You need to be logged in as an administrator in your computer, if you have more than one profile. Just choose administrator and it should unpack and install automatically. If it doesn't open, try right clicking on the icon and left clicking on 'Run as administrator'.

Try Paint.net it's like an upgraded version of paint, has a ton of good features like photoshop but not as complicated for beginners, and it's free, it's an open source project and is really useful for what you need it for..
www.paint.net

there is GIMP as well, and again it has all the features of photoshop but free/open source.
pretty much free version of photoshop but might be a little too much for beginner, esp. layers
www.gimp.org

Installing and opening AP CS4 seems a monumental task. Jesus fucking Christ !

I'd go with water colors, paper, and a 500 megapixel cameraphone.

Thinking about it 

[Cleanest Natural]

IF I manage to install it and open it, I will not have a clue how to navigate it's features let alone draw. Christ !

I could do this shit by hand and take photos hahahahaha ... it'd save me a ton of time
