To draw with vectors is harder than drawing with pixels. To work with Bezier curves you need to understand, a bit, mathematically how they work, and then you may have a bit more control over them. Even though, to start drawing with vectors only is very difficult, it's easier to have something to begin with, a drawing made by hand or with a tablet, then trace over that. I find out easier to draw Bezier curves with a mouse and keyboard rather than a tablet, with inkscape. I did this picture using inkscape, ( <a href="http://HaPK.deviantart.com/art/Mysticus-320210516?qo=1&catpath=gallery:hapk:51187&order=0&offset=1">http://HaPK.deviantart.com/art/Mysticus-320210516?qo=1&catpath=gallery:hapk:51187&order=0&offset=1</a>) but I did some sketches using mypaint and a tablet. Vectors need more skill, and are suitable for a range of things. But if you prefer using pixels that's ok too. <div class="gmail_quote">El 25/08/2012 17:18, "Ralf Mardorf" <<a href="mailto:ralf.mardorf@alice-dsl.net">ralf.mardorf@alice-dsl.net</a>> escribió: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> On Sat, 2012-08-25 at 23:12 +0200, Ralf Mardorf wrote: > <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag9N7F2friM&feature=related" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag9N7F2friM&feature=related</a> Apologize, by all the short and quick views I had to do, I didn't see that it's a picture drawn with what app ever and then they show how to draw the dog in a way, they all did with the photos of their girlfriends, using Inkscape. Does this work better with a Windows version of Inkscape? If I does it that way on Linux, the Bezier curve doesn't fit that perfect to everything. Sometimes there aren't movements when I try to fit the curve to my imagination. I didn't draw the Bezier above another picture, perhaps it's the only way and to add as much nodes as possible. I've got the impression that Inkscape doesn't provide good tools as I know from neu.Draw. This "Bezier curve"-pencil at least seems to be less usable with a mouse. Most tutorials only draw balls, deformed animals, but drawings when control is needed, this perhaps only can be made with a tablet. A simple icon perhaps can be drawn using the mouse, however, I guess I can't start with a circle, but need to start with a Bezier. At the moment I'm uncertain, if I again should waste time. It looks like a tablet is needed and that even then the pictures won't become as nice, as when using a pixel orientated app like GIMP.
