OooOoooOOoh ... A forum full of people who use Inkscape!

Hi there. I have only just stumbled upon this forum (I hadn't been looking, if I am honest), and I'm pleased to find a whole community using Inkscape. I have been using it for about a year, and quite intensely for the last six months. I think that my requirements for Inkscape are probably a bit different from most of your other forum members, though!

I write and illustrate non-fiction for children, and up to last year I used traditional Grant/ink&white paint/lightbox methods. I am now, finally, quicker using Inkscape than I am using pen and paper (hooray). Speed in producing relatively simple b&w linework is very important to me - I have to generate lots of illustrations. I had to commit to a fairly painful transition but, now that it is over, I am excited by stuff that you all probably take for granted. e.g. I should spend much less time tracing!

Welcome to the forum!

Show us some of your work in the Finished work forum, we'd love to see what you do!

Hi fizzcat!
Oh, we have had a few children's book illustrators visit the forum over the years. Mostly first time publishers on a mission, lol -- so inspiring! But what amazes me the most, is how many different fields of endeavor find a critical use for Inkscape. Math, many different sciences, artists, musicians, writers, architects, more than I can even remember or list.

Anyways, I'm looking forwards to what we might learn from each other
Welcome aboard

Thanks. I'll try and post there when I get some drawings that are not assigned to a project (and I have freedom with the copyright). ut on the whole the drawings themselves are quite simple - it is the storyboard that takes the time!

welcome fizzcat. This is a great site, it's the 'unofficial' but the most official inkscape site, there are a couple others (some good ones too); however, this one is where many of the developers of the program stay, so there's quite a bit of talent, knoweldge and skills on here.
We love to see what people are doing with Inkscape, so please show us some stuff! (links to websites, upload sites or a few downloads here are good).

Welcome. Yeah, imagine: a forum full of Inkscape users. What will they think of next?

Well, the secret's out. I guess there's nothing left but showing off some art, if you feel so inclined. Also, it's a great place to ask questions and get some interesting tutorials to get you over any humps.
