I started playing with Inkscape,
thank to my brother for the Idea
And thanks for the great tutorial videos dash-o-salt (aka dashohalite)
This guys tutorials are just a great way to learn the basics of vectoring in inkscape.
Nice long tutorials, I just watched them before sleep, instead of my little pony episodes. I didn't really had to concentrate, he repeats everything a dozen times, always saying the shortcut he is using actually. The knowlegde moved into my tiny brain without realizing how much I learned ^^
I try to participate in the Newbie Artist Training Grounds as much as I can. I really don't have much time right now, but I try to make a picture for every day.
