That's about what I got. Now I am trying to decide if I want to use the free-form calligraphy tool with a simplify added to the strokes as I finish it up, or just the pen/node tool. The latter looks much more controlled and crisp, but I like the artsy feel of the calligraphy tool! We'll see. I think...

Oh that's so simple...I'll have to play with it and see how it turns out! Thank you so much. -Melissa

Hi everyone :) I have been using AI for half a year, I am self-taught, and it works great--but it is very tedious and learning new things can take a long time to master. I have been told about Inkscape more than once, and I am curious to see how well it works for clip art -type illustration, as that...
