Hi!

My name is Fahad Fateh and I am from Pakistan. By profession I am a researcher and I love colors. I used to paint but few years back I left painting. And now I want to resume.

Right now I am using Adobe Flash because I knew that software but I want to move to Inkscape for three reasons. Its open source, its for graphics and because pen support is native.

And before I started, I wanted to discuss what is an appropriate way to start. Start painting using Inkscape.

Should I copy others, should I draw small things first or should I sketch first using pencil and paper and move to Inkscape later?

My earlier experience includes art work back in school and two oil paintings.

Any books for recomendation?

Thanks,

Fahad
