I was hoping to pick up the brains of some more proficient inkscape illustrators to point to resources more relevant to the 'vectorial drawing'. One big example is that using a pen/wacom tablet is completely useless (which is great cuz I dont have one :p). But already this makes the rules change and look at drawing completely different. This can work as an advantage since the drawing is non-destructive.
The example of the elipse, goes on the comparison of youtube videos of doing regular drawing (with pen and tablet) where there are many strokes, as opposed to fully vector drawing where there is only a simple stroke and the rest of the work comes in arranging the handles of the node. Well thats why I wanted to join this forum, because talking to other artists can help me out on these topics on techniques, and decisions. You really will quickly develop your own routine I'd suggest following a few tutorials, just to "get your feet wet" as they say. As you practice with Inkscape, you'll soon develop your own way of using the tools. To be honest, I think it's really a matter of personal preference. But I can't sketch to save my life! Lately I've been working on some realistic type drawings, where I use a photo for reference, then I simply trace over the photo, to make the shapes right. The style I've developed for myself is using the Pen tool in straight line mode. In both of these scenarios, the Calligraphy tool is often used. Then that is used kind of as a guide for drawing in Inkscape. Another approach is to draw the sketch on paper, and scan onto the hard drive.
This seems to work really well for sketch artists and the like. With that kind of hardware, the artist can just draw on the tablet, and automatically the lines are drawn in Inkscape. But judging by the messages I've read, I've seen a couple of general approaches. I'm not a professional Inkscape user, or really not an artist either.
