What is CorelDRAW?
CorelDRAW is a vector-based drawing program that makes it easy to create professional artwork from simple logos to intricate technical illustrations. The enhanced text-handling capabilities and writing tools of CorelDRAW allow you to create text-intensive projects such as brochures and reports with greater ease than ever before.
The Introduction of CorelDRAW
Since its launch in 1989, CorelDRAW has garnered a following of devoted users. The size of CorelDRAW’s user base demonstrates the calibre of its technology. Extensive research and development paid off even from the first release. Users were attracted to features that were both powerful and easy to use.
When you create a new drawing in CorelDRAW, the large white portion of the screen is the Drawing Window.
The rectangle in the center with the drop shadow represents the Drawing Page. Usually, only the part of your drawing that falls within the Drawing Page is printed.
You can think of the remaining space in the Drawing Window as your work space (paste board) in which you can keep your tools and pieces of your illustration handy.

What Is Photoshop?
Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Inc. for Windows and MacOS. It was originally created in 1988 by Thomas and John Knoll. Since then, the software has become the industry standard not only in raster graphics editing, but in digital art as a whole. Wikipedia.
ABOUT DRAWING AND PAINTING
When creating graphics on a computer, there is a distinction between painting and drawing.
Painting involves changing the colors of pixels using a painting tool. You can apply colors gradually, with soft edges and transitions, and manipulate individual pixels using powerful filter effects.
However, once you apply a brush stroke, there is no simple way to select the entire brush stroke and move it to a new location in the image.
Drawing, on the other hand, involves creating shapes that are defined as geometric objects (also called vector objects). For example, if you draw a circle using the ellipse tool, the circle is defined by a specific radius, location, and color. You can quickly select the entire circle and move it to a new location, or you can edit the outline of the circle to distort its shape.
