Free software for making graphics? You got it!

I didn't see Inkscape on the list. It's a free Vector graphics program. It complements GIMP fairly nicely.
If you want 3d Graphics then there is Blender.

This is for the basics. The advanced stuff is for people who actually need it

Nothing really too complicated or advanced with Inkscape. Rasterization type graphics is good for photos, but but gets clunky for logo work. Vector graphics works well from creating graphics from scratch.

As for Blender, that's probably too advanced for most people.

Adding Inkscape to the list which of all this would you say is best? There is quite a list and I am looking for something that allows you to make drawings rather easily. I currently have Paint.Net but the painting tools are very limited.

You can't put Inkscape and GIMP and ask which is best. They both serve very different purposes and because of that, they complement each other quite well. Inkscape is for vector graphics and while GIMP is strictly for raster graphics. You can't really say one is better than the other without the context of a particular task.

I think paint.net is a good software, and i'm think there is a site that's called picmonkey which is good to use
