Boy... am I getting addicted to this or what? Like my earlier work, these two illustrations I
created in Inkscape for the coming blog posts at my blog. This is for a blog post on the Orphan
Work Act of 2006 blog post, that I will be able to post by next week. This one is for a series of
design articles that I intend to write about. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)"

Here is an illustration I did for a blogpost at KalaaLog.com: No More Photoshop - Use GIMP I
tried to get a WestMinister style of illustration. (I am not even sure if that is what the style
is called - it appears in the IEEE magazines like Spectrum - usally at the last set of pages)....

One of my blog-team is writing an article on storytelling/narration . This is a vector art quicky
I did for the illustration of the blog post: Edit: Link to the article updated....

Here is a work in progress I would like to share it with Astahosters. Lately, a friend of mine
joined my blogging team at Splat . She had been of great help even before when I was working on my
website WiseTome.com though she just joined Splat. To show my appreciation, I thought I would
gift her an artwork. And with this, I hope to improve my skills too. So, here goes. It is
still a work in progress . I used her photograph as a reference and worked on it from scratch in
Inkscape. The basic outline with flat colors is done, and I have just started to work o...

Here is one more of a vector art illustration that I created just now for a future blog post of
mine. After looking at few geese photos from Google Image search, I came up with this concept and
drew it. It took me about an hour using Inkscape to do the above illustration. /smile.gif"

Well, here is another one of vector art that I created. It took roughly 2 hours from concept to
final stage in Inkscape. My friend who is in the team of authors for my blog has written an
extensive write-up on a nature related topic that dealt with parasatic blue butterflies (their
larvae), ants and wasps. I was pretty impressed by the write up and thought I should make a image
to accompany with it. So, I started doodling with stuff and got the concept. Then I fired up the
Inkscape and this is what I have: I attempted an caricature-cartoon like feel and also wan...

I wanted to create a quick vector art for a blog post of mine. I sought inspiration from a World Of
Warcraft wallpaper, and created this in about 1 hour using Inkscape. It turned out pretty good. It
is not a polished work but I would be using it in the same format for my blog article on Vector Art.
Comment and critique please. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0"

A week back or so, I happened to stumble across Inkscape (http://inkscape.org) and I was hooked. In
a few days, I was able to create some things that were recognizable, and I created two clip arts at
my blog as give aways: Red Ornament Dreidel And after that, I went ahead to create a
tutorial that explains the basic steps and concept of vector art - as I have learned. I put that
too on my blog, and can be found at the following permanent link: 10 step tutorial to create shiny
ball vector art Please give your comments and critique. /smile.gif" style=...

Well, I did this just a little bit ago with the iPod photo, off the website. I pretty much just
traced the image, but I did all the colors myself. Constructive criticism appreciated. ...

Hey everyone. Some of you may know that at conceptart.org, I maintained a digital sketch book that
I updated once a week. Because of my busy class schedule, (which, unfortunately contained no digital
painting in the curriculum) and the fact that my last server went down and took my site with it, I
could not update as regularly as I'd have liked... In fact, I got so frustrated with
disorganized classes that lacked focus; and professors who told me that there's no future in
digital art or conceptual design (most of them believe that it's still the 1970s) that ...

Ok so this my first attempt at creating anything seriously in Illustrator, so if it looks like
I'm a little heavy handed and clumsy, I am right now...let me know what you all think though...
the original photograph I worked with was similar to this one, just a different crop and no
filters. Also, if anyone knows of any good Illustrator tutorials that they'd like to share,
I would appreciate it...I've already found that a pen and a tablet are two of my best friends
when it comes to Illustrator......
