I loved your "About Me" presentation - you do a great job of communicating via drawing. I'd not spotted Inkscape, although I have a licence for VectorDesigner. I must install them both and have a try. As you probably spotted above, I could certainly use some help in looking like I can actually draw :) @1 Sacha, thanks for this.

It made students smile. And I started doing it again a number of months ago because I had a Nintendo DS with the DS Colors program. I was storyboarding presentations anyway. Just for a lark, I published my storyboards as a presentation, and people loved it. =) I'm learning more about visual literacy and communication, and I'm having a lot of fun! I've tried ArtRage - it's really neat. I prefer a vector drawing program like Inkscape, though. Being able to edit my strokes afterwards goes a long way to making me look like I can actually draw! ;) Keep rocking! Good luck and have fun!
