I might as well be honest.

My username is Beta0. I love to use programs to make drawings (like MS Paint, Paint.NET and Gimp); though that doesn't mean I don't sketch traditionally.
And I am not new to Inkscape. Well, I'm learning my way around the program, but, still...

*Story*
Sometime ago (months or last year, maybe), I downloaded Inkscape. I was having trouble trying to look for a way to make good lineart. I read that an SVG file of the lines could be imported to Gimp. I don't remember very well the tutorial, just that it's on deviantART.
So, I tried using it. But I didn't like how the lines of my drawings came out. Then, I found out that Gimp could produce good lineart without Inkscape. So...I deleted the program. It was difficult to understand.
Months passed and I was studying about graphics software at college. (I was already there.) I learned about the two types. Also, I learned how to use them; they were Photoshop and Illustrator. I was already familiar to raster graphics programs; so, no problem with Photoshop.
But Illustrator was challenging. And I took it, gladly. It was fun.
Already knowing that Inkscape and Illustrator are vector graphic programs, I decided to give Inkscape another chance. I know it can do more than just lines.
*End of story*

So, here I am. Presenting myself at the forums. And still learning what this program can do.

Nice to meet you all. :] (I hope I don't get kicked out. Not joking.)

Welcome to the forums.

The main difference between raster drawing and vectors is that everything in vectors "floats". With raster, the pixels dominate and you think of the image within the frame. With vectors, you have to think of how one piece of the image is related to another. There is no solid frame of reference, just a relative one.

I'll keep it in mind. Thanks. :]

Raster drawing and vectors are almost same but, there is the only different is vectors "floats". You can modify raster to vector, but you can not modify vector to raster image/drawings.

Thanks for the tip. (And sorry for not responding earlier.) :]

Howdy,

You probably know already:

Inkscape edits SVG natively.
SVG is written in XML and can be read directly by browsers (including mobile) and manipulated by scripts... SVG images can therefore be made interactive, like Flash.
Inkscape is open-source and in constant development, so features found in other vector apps may not be in Inkscape yet, and sometimes stuff is broken.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work,
TD

I knew most of it, except that SVG is written in XML. I always wondered why every vector-related work could be seen in a browser. Now, I know.

Thanks. And sorry for the extremely long delay...

I think vector design more flexible than bitmap design... cmiiw
