Hello. I'm Lost Birds. I'm a 22 year old guy from Croatia. I love art - music, movies, graphics, gaming, nature... I play a lot of PC games and watch a lot of movies.
I've been using Inkscape for a long time, but just as a hobby for fun. Recently I've started being more and more interested in graphics design. I want to start my own business. I want to start by providing Esports organisations a good visual identity. At the moment I'm practicing in Inkscape because I love vector graphics and this program. I think it's accessible and simple.
Whenever I get an idea, I have to draw it in my sketch book and then I try to create it in Inkscape. I get frustrated because I'm unable to realise images from my mind, because I am not skilled enough yet. But I want to learn and I want to be able to show my ideas to the world.
That's me. Feel free to contact me if you need a friend in learning and gaming or if you just need someone to talk to :)
I struggle with making my drawings like I see in my mind too! I've been struggling with that for longer than you are old! I think I'll never get there - not in this lifetime anyway. But I still like to try, never give up! I just like to be creative 🖌
I hope you will show us some of your artwork sometime. You can post in the forum (Share Finished Artwork board) or you can upload to the gallery https://inkscape.org/gallery/
PS - I think we have another community member from your part of the world! Maybe @prkos will see this?
hi and welcome to the forum! I can't sketch things out on paper, and I highly respect people that can. Not sure how much experience you have in Inkscape, but you might want to try this, if you have a phone with a camera, or even a digital camera, take a pic and then you can import the file into Inksape. If Inkscape can't open your type of file, then you can possibly use another free source pgm to convert it first. Some cameras create a jpg which inkscape can open. Anyway, once you open or import your sketch, you can then lock it down and trace it as a vector, or even use tracte bitmap (which I personally don't care for). but it's a good way to carry your work all the way through to vectorize it!
