For a vector drawing program consider Affinity Designer. It’s a one-off old-fashioned licence payment in tens of £ sterling. What’s more it is British.
It is the equivalent and equal of Adobe Illustrator. The Affinity suite has been making inroads into the Adobe (subscription) dominated pro design market and also have Photo and Publisher which are head to head with Photoshop and InDesign.
I used to like a drawing program called Aldus Freehand. I have an ancient 2001 Mac on which I keep a lot of long-defunct but useful programs that don’t have a feature to make them ‘phone home’. I would periodically briefly connect to the net to enable the old Adobe Photoshop to continue – it dated from the time when constant connection to the internet wasn’t general – but eventually they did switch me off.
