For artists, designers, and any hobby Canva enthusiasts who are looking for some creative assistance. In this AI-generated hell we find ourselves in, we need to share resources and pool our knowledge as we work against the machine (pun intended). Most of these are free or partially free, and most are either no AI or partial AI. No full-genAI sites included.
Now with expandable sections! This page was getting a bit long.
Favorites are in bold! If you have any to share, leave them in a comment!
