The Better Free Program

Hey fellow artists. (Newbie) artist here. I was wondering if you could help me with something.
 
At the moment, I only have two free drawing programs, GIMP and Inkscape. I’ve sort of gotten the hang of Inkscape, but I’ve barely even touched GIMP, TBH. And I want to know which program is best for which scenario.
 
  1. If I wanted to make a shaded drawing in the style of say, this: >>922297, which program would be better? And is it possible (but harder) to do it with the other program? (I realize that this particular drawing is rather advanced for my caliber, but I’d just like to know which one would be best for this style)
     
  2. What about a non-shaded cartoon like this? >>218321 (deleted) Again, is it possible to use both?
     
  3. I am in the process of making a comic series that is sort of in the style of the show, but a lot more simplistic. Which would be better for such a comic? (I would share a preview, but to me it looks like s**t, so I’m a little embarrassed.)

Personally I’ve been using Inkscape it’s got a friendly UI and the sculpting tool has been invaluable but conceivably Both could do both as for the best program for the job with shading I’d go with GIMP without shading Inkscape

Oh yeah I forgot about that program I tried that too for a little while but I think the interface scared me off I tend to be impatient with that sort of thing which is unfortunate Since I’m trying to use Blender
