Saw on the Inkscape Page (news) a link to work by grade 4 students. Wondered if you might be interested in work by my grade 7 students? Sorry if this is the wrong place to post. http://www.hiroshima-is.ac.jp/blogs/index.php/2010/03/19/grade-7-vector-drawing?blog=25 http://www.hiroshima-is.ac.jp/blo...

Nice work! Pretty to look at. I'd play it but I'm using Linux and I'm too lazy to see if it works in Wine

Whoa! Thanks for sharing. Would love to see more of these. What is a filter and how are they made? Am I correct in using them with Ctrl+Shift+V to apply to other objects?

OK, so I'll buy a tablet soon. Mr. Manders, how did you create the animations?

Weird. Try opening the PNG in Photoshop, then using "Save for Web and Devices" on the File menu to export as a 24-bit PNG. Maybe this will reset something in the file that is broken...

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Do you use a Wacom tablet in your work? I'm trying to decide if I should buy one.

Could you show us a screenshot? Assuming you exported as PNG, this shouldn't be an Inkscape-specific problem.

So cool - what was your method for creating the little radial ticks all the way around the inside of that circle? I had to do that recently and I ended up moving the point of rotation to the center, changing the rotation snap to angle, and copy&pasting a lot...so I'm curious.

Thanks, Similarius. Bwansy, you might be interested in this post by an Illustrator user (applies to Inkscape too though). In fact, the gray texture I applied in the image background is a photograph of some clover, just simplified (Ctrl+L) a bit.

Thanks! I traced some photos that looked like they had good texture. I think I'll be using that method in the future, not just for backgrounds, but for all sorts of stuff.

A sketch I did some time ago, now colored in Inkscape, cropped in GIMP.

Something about your compass rose makes me want to eat it. Or touch it. Or rub it all over my maps. It's very nice, and I like this more technical stuff.

More concept details are on the DA page; just had a fun sketch in Inkscape with some spare time.

Here's an island tutorial I made for my nephew - shows how to draw an island with natural-looking outline and features.
