Could someone suggest a software able to make me realize illustrations for books or research papers? Something easy and intuitive as paint (so, not complex as a CAD), but with more features such as figures inclination, geometrical relationships among painted lines.
Flavio,
The Samsung Paper Artist for android is a very simple photo manipulator prog. You can change your photoes into very demonstrative and semi professional drawings. You have to try it. Sandor
Hi Flavio,
I want to explain about other possibility. To help you and make the process of effective science communication easier for you we’ve created a library of science and medical illustrations. It is especially built to facilitate easy generation of visual content for the scientific community.
It consists of a collection of ready-to-use science illustrations in 5 different color schemes.
All images have a transparent background, that allows easy integration in, for example, Powerpoint presentations.
This tool is meant to help scientists, teachers and students to create easy to understand figures for posters and/or presentations without losing their valuable time. This improves their communication skills and interaction with students and other members of the scientific community.
The library also includes several ready-to-use Powerpoint slides optimized for clear and effective communication. We maximized the signal to noise ratio in these slides to convey a message in the most effective way.
If this is for you, grab your library right away. It is completely free.

I would suggest Corel Designer X5 or follower
its easy to learn and nice to handle
CorelDraw is an excellent software for technical illustration. CorelDraw has some CAD-like drawing tools but CorelDraw is mush easier to learn than AutoCAD. CorelDraw is also less expensive to purchase and upgrade than Adobe Illustrator.
If you're looking for a free, open-source illustration software, you may want to look into Inkscape.

Hello Flavio -
You might consider Cinema 4D. It's a 3d illustration program, but much easier to use than the CAD software. Also, there are millions of pre-made 3D models already on line which can be used with the software. Many of these are available for free download. There is a bit of a learning curve, but Its' VERY versatile. Lots of good tutorials on Youtube as well. Hope this helps.

Inkscape for 2D and Blender for 3D pictures.
Blender for animations

Hi Flavio,
I suggest Mind the Graph (www.mindthegraph.com). I use Mind the Graph to create graphical abstracts and it is very simple to use. They have illustrations available and I can request new ones. Also, it is possible to create presentations and posters.
Dear Flavio,
COREL Draw Designer, Canvas GFX, Blander for animations could be best alternative for you.

Hey Flavio Farroni I recommend Mind the Graph. It's an online software with a big illustration library, and the best part is that as a subscriber you can request customized illustrations! Here is the website. https://mindthegraph.com/
I'll offer you to use, microsoft publisher and visio. Both of them are very helpfull for editing pictures for the papers.
