Corel Draw and Inkscape (in the upcoming 0.46 version) can both export and import PDFs. So aside of SVG, PDF is a remarkable format for file interchange between Inkscape and Corel Draw. Of course things like SVG blur and other SVG effects aren't supported by Corel Draw, so one need to experiment a l...

There is a stamp in http://www.openclipart.org that I submitted a long time ago. It has been made in Inkscape 0.44.

It has some more details, I'll sumbit here a mini tutorial on how I made it.

Well these are wonderful news! AFAIK poppler library is very powerful so that will push Inkscape forward to professional users!

Can't wait to see that fully implemented!

Since Inkscape 0.46 will have a PDF export/import ability, I thought that the following lil' handy open source (GPLv2) PDF viewer could be useful:

It's called Sumatra PDF (Windows only)

Hi!

If this competition is still not closed, I'd like to submit that entry:



The svg is located here: http://openclipart.org/media/files/molumen/3767

The second image is not difficult to create. Just draw the objects and apply a vertical gray gradient to them. For the gray shadow, you can use an undelying copy of the top object that you color in a darker shade of gray and then shift a little (a couple of pixels in the bottom right direction) so i...

Actually instead of achieving that effect with the help of a gradient, I'd recommend doing it with shapes. It is better because of one reason: portability. AFAIK when you import some graphics made in Inkscape into some other software (Illustrator, Corel, etc...) generally the only problem that happe...

It's also missing the fill tool icon

I think that Synfig can work with svg but I'm not sure. The project is still evolving and AFAIK it's still very young.

Very nice little buddy! I like it a lot!

All the tools are suitable to draw characters. You can start by drawing basic shapes (circles, rectangles etc...), then by transforming them (with the node tool) you can achieve any shape you want. The you color the character by using gradients to create some light/shadow effects or by just filling ...

I just drew the snowman from scratch. There is unfortunately no simple way to learn how to draw characters from scratch. You just have to keep trying an learning to draw in Inkscape. Maybe the most simple way is to find an image of a snowman (or whatever you want to draw) and draw your own character...

When I try to search for the word "tutorial" or "Inkscape" (or any other word) I always get the same result page saying the following: "The following words in your search query were ignored: inkscape. You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist o...

Note that an eraser tool isn't something that's traditionally a part of vector applications. Illustrator CS3 has only just introduced such a tool. Corel Draw introduced an eraser tool in 1995 (in version 6). It is a brush tool that just does the opposite of what a brush tool will do. Instead of dra...

I often use Inkscape to trace stuff, and then import the resulting SVG into Corel Draw 12 for further work. Everything works great but there is a small bug in the way Corel Draw 12 sees the SVG produced by Inkscape: when you import an SVG, it is seen by Corel as a group (even if the SVG is made of o...

Well, it seems that the software is behaving normally under vista, and is buggy under XP... I sent a bugreport to the devels.

Kinda weird, I installed it on my XP system, and the only thing I get is a thumbnail with a white background and "Renesis v 0.6" written in... The program seems to have installed without problems, so I wonder what's the problem...

I'll post a bug report to tghe developers...

Yes, it was that fast because I reused a lot of graphics (the red balls in the background, the sky with the stars, the logo, everything was already existing). The only real work was on the snowman, and it took me about 15 minutes to draw it and about 5-10 more to finish the job (export the PNG, open...

I don't know......

Hi Ryan! The clipboard not functioning under certain circumstances is a known and reported bug (see bug http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1143821&group_id=93438&atid=604306 and feature request https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=909735&...

While drawing this, I found the outline preview mode (CTRL+ numpad5) very useful, as it speeds up the rendering. Without it it would have took me an hour or even more to draw this card...

Openclipart was experiencing scaling issues (it was hosted at freedesktop.org), and is now beeing moved to a new location (osuosl.org). The WIKI page is already working, the rest should be available ASAP.

great drawing!

Here's the Inkscape version 0.45 splash screen

Season greetings card drawn in a hurry (about 15-20 minutes). I love Inkscape for its remarkable versatility and simplicity!
