The Process

How did I get to this point in my life? Making Graphics using Inkscape?

I first began to draw at a very young age and my parents were both artists and on my moms side everyone was an artist. So I was very inspired. At the age of 8 or 9 I started to look at tutorials on how to  draw. I learned how to draw dragons, horses, and people perfectly by the age of 11. I dropped everything else and concentrated on manga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga). I studied and studied and studied how to draw manga so that when I lay my pencil on paper the end results would be beautiful. My dad had downloaded a free program called Inkscape. At first I wasn't that good at it but as I started to learn the tools It became easier and fun. I also did computer programming using a program called Scratch that also helped to influence me. I also have goals- those are very important to have, I plan to be a game illustrator, and sell many logos.

Cheshire Cat Vector Colored

I've been working on my Cheshire Cat it still has a few odds and ends I need to fix up but here it is so far!

About Inkscape

Inkscape is a vector program which means you can zoom in and out of the drawing and it won't get pixelated. It has a lot of tools you can use, shape tools, line tools, a node tool which is used for editing lines there is also the fill tool, eraser tool, and much more, those are just the basics. Inkscape is a learning experience, and it takes a lot to master all the tools and options, to learn everything you need to experiment and search Google, I find that it is easiest to learn when you look it up on YouTube and watch videos.

Experience

I've been working a lot on Inkscape to make a Cheshire Cat for my dad. Its his own style- "Cool Cat" he calls it, and I've been watching YouTube videos on how to use different tools, it's really helpful.

What my Blog is about

This is a blog that tells you how to make logos for all kinds of programs: Inkscape, Gimp, Paint shop pro, you need to use a vector program so you can resize the logo without it getting pixelated. I also make logos that people can buy, I will put up some sample pages for you to look at.
