The choice of tool depends on the type of illustrations you want to create. For diagrams or graphs, you can use Origin, 
Gnuplot, Octave, or Igor. For 2D illustrations, you can use Inkscape or adobe illustrator. 
For 3D illustrations, you can use a blender and for chemical structures utilise JMol or Chime.

Inkspace is a good tool. Alternatively, you can use image brick or cytospace. Imagebrick is used to develop images JPEG, PNG, FIG, etc. software. 
It enables users to manage colours, delineate features of an image and is also compatible with multiple coding. 
On the other hand, cytospace is used to integrate and visualize data for free.
