Making pictures like those shown in Drew's links isn't trivial. You and your kids will need a capable tool to do so.

Many Linux distros have The Gimp pre-configured. There are also [link|http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html|Windows installers] for it and its dependencies. (Note the Help file is separate.)

Feel free to buy Photoshop. But don't give up after one attempt on something free.

Good luck.

Cheers,
Scott.
(Who has [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=188271|very little experience] with The Gimp.)

maybe its installation has improved since then, but I'm not going out of my way to try it again real soon.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow
