I have been a longtime user of Inkscape and thought I'd set myself a challenge to make a decently detailed vector art piece. It wasn't long before speed became a real issue. Blurs really take their toll on poor old Inkscape so I thought I'd install a 30 day trial of Illustrator and see how my drawing progressed and what I could learn from it.
Firstly the illustration saved as an SVG translated well with the exception of blurs which Illustrator would rather complain about than convert to its own Gaussian blur. I set all of the blurs in Inkscape to 0 and re exported and I was off.
Illustrator is remarkably fast in comparison and I learned a lot, but I do find the basic pen tools in Inkscape easier. I got some of the way to a friendly environment in illustrator by fiddling with the defaults but still, Inkscape is just more accessible. Anyhow. I have a long way to go but here is where I got to tonight.
