The first reaction was: I felt strange in my body, and my feelings, I can hear something that can't be heard by humans, more noisy. To eliminate the noise, I have to sleep so that I could get used to the atmosphere.

Sure I Like them and I'm happy, because they're one of my toys, but in reality I hate them…oh hardi when I realized that I had to eat them, I felt sick and disgusted. (wont to vomit)

Yes I have a kitten, I'm like his mother…he's always happy when I'm cat and he would shout “ MY souLLLL!!!” and he approached me lovely.

Dog?? Hmmm they are always proud with their teeth and scratches….their moans make us (cats) afraid. Actually I Love dogs. They are very nice to human, especially to their master, but not to cat. We (cats) are always confused to start to communicate with them, because they always show their teeth, that makes us scare…I don’t know. Fear comes by itself .Whereas they are good animals, but I've never met a dog who's nice to cat.

(Here the interview was disrupted by strange voice)

Cat: (nodding)

(A loud noise and swearing from the closet.)
I walked over the room to the closet and opened it's door. A flow of smoke came out and made me cough, the smoke detector started to wail, but fade with piercing yell, like a beaten dog. The smoke cleaned and I could see. There he was. Siting in the pot of hot water. He was taking a bath! Hahaha! He had made a fire under the pot for heating. That's why all that smoke. But he didn't let me to be surprised for long. He yelled: "How rude! Can't you at least knock before coming in! You pervert! But no! He just does what he thinks fit! You like to peep aren't you!? You stupid! If you wanted to join, u should have asked first!" He slammed the door close. While still muttering "Letting all good stuff out! Stupid-stupd poop Hardi!" I Don't know, was it really a fairy. It looked like a goblin to me. All sooty with some few spots of cleaner, green skin. I thought that it's better, if I just continue the interview like nothing happened..

(The interview continues.)

Our conversations are not far from love, eating, most comfortable bed, and are our masters good or not. Sometime they ask "where to find the bones?" "how to make a manly groan with good?" "how many rats did you catch?" an interesting topic for us is the "cat burglar" it was clearly a very embarrassing thing for us. It shows that they didn’t have home or good master.

Hey did she call me a dog!??? Hey wait! Wait a moment!.. Hey I am a dog! Hey??? What? Was I human before?? Really??? What did she mean by not having manners??.. Is it really rude when I'm doing this? But I have to do something about this itching feeling.. Aren't everyone doing so when it's itching! She is just picking fight with me isn't. woof! woof! Oh well, actually I don't care. (Suddenly I felt like catching my tail. It was really fun! Hey, let's do it together! woof! )

The most efficient vehicle.

In consideration of the current economy recession. It's time to think about commuting more efficiently. That is by bicycle. Bicycle is a very efficient way of transportation, in both, mechanical and biological means.From mechanical viewpoint, the bicycles efficiency can be up to 99%! Which means, that up to 99% of energy, that you transmit to pedals, will be delivered to wheels.. :DFrom biological viewpoint: A human traveling by bicycle at speed of 15 to 24 kilometers per hour, is using the same amount of energy required to walking!Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_performanceWell beside of being extraordinarily energy efficient. Bicycle also require less space for parking slot than a car. U don't have to worry about finding free parking slot near your home, u can take it even into your bedroom with you. That's what I do. :)It sounds just as like a pipe dream? Aspiration of some bicycle crazies?Well it seems so. I only bicycle for fun and as for exercise. I can't use my valuable bicycle for every day commute. I'm afraid of thieves, I can't leave it somewhere. I should carry so many locks with me, to lock it properly.. Lock also wheels that have quickreleases and saddle that is also mounted with quickrelease.. And there should be 2 different types of locks for everything. If thief can handle one type. He might not have tools for other. :) Or maybe I just should keep another invaluable bike to commute in town. The one, that thieves are not interested in? Anyways I think it feels much better to ride a bicycle, than a motorcycle or car. Well I have easy to talk. I don't have a car nor driver license or money to get them. But I have driven little of with them. It's not so interesting.There's many different types of bicycles for different purpose of use. With large range of prices. It seems that reasonable bikes start with price of roughly something 500$. Or maybe little less? Well It seems In Estonia they have about 100$ higher price than example in USA.. (all the transportation fees and so on) So in USA the prices of rideable bicycle maybe start with roughly 400$ maybe..? Cheaper ones are often too terrible to ride, they are sometimes called as "bicycle shaped object". Then there are different types of bicycles. Mountain bikes, city bikes, hybrid bikes, road bikes, cruisers, working bikes and so on. Some have less gears, some more gears, some weight more, some less... Well Mountain bike have slow gears, so it's not good for flat city road, it's only good for deep slopes in mountains.. City bikes looks often like mountain bikes, but they have higher gears. But often they also offer some horrible, heavy and unrideable things as city bike. Hybrids are a combination of something - mountain, city, and road bike. They are lighter than mountain bikes, they have little faster gears, but have also enough slow gears, and they have big 700cc wheels similar to road bikes. Road bike is light weight bike with 700cc wheels and aero handlebar, meant to drive fast in good road.I bought my current bicycle on last autumn. I had a old mountain bike before. It was good bike too, but I got tired of pedaling a slow gear mountain bike in flat roads. This time I chosed to buy a hybrid bicycle. There was 3 different choices, that I had to chose between. Well I was first going to buy Scott Sportster P5, but then, in end I bought Wheeler cross 36 because there wasn't my size of Scott's P5 in store, I had to order it. And Wheeler had suspended seat post and also front(fork's) suspension did look better to me. I'm not sure, if it's really better, But also price was cheaper. I thought that the store that was dealing with Scott's bikes, surely had added some little extra to prices, since it's a well known trademark.Well. Obviously my bike's suspension is still cheap for rally. I mean, it doesn't have lockout function. First it did jump on road like nut when pushing too hard to pedals, but I got it rideable by adjusting suspension's preload to it's maximum.. well I think it's okay. It's very good bike for me. It doesn't feel as firm and controllable as my old suspensionless mountain bike did. In high speed when trying to pedal very fast and hard, it felt a bit unpredictable. I think it can be, because I haven't found the best adjustment for handlebar and saddle. I don't know the best adjustment for hybrid bike. Or maybe the suspended seatpost's suspension takes also some stiffness away, so it don't let me to feel the right "response". I replaced the original saddle with a thinner and harder one from my old bike, now it's better... But suspension is good thing. Some roads here are so bad too. That without it, it's a pain to cycle. I didn't dare to push it over the speed of 60 km per hour. That was with little help of wind, on down hill. It didn't had enough stability.. but I think there's no need to go that fast also. There were some chicks who were passing by of me with their road bikes, on uphill, but well I need to stay calm and think that I'm just so nice guy that I'm letting them by, and not that I couldn't go as fast .I didn't had enough money to get all accessories together with bike from start. I have heard, that when buying a bicycle then 1/3 of it's price is bicycle, the rest 2/3 u should have to spend for accessories, especially for clothes. They say that better buy a cheaper bicycle and good accessories.. Not a very expensive bicycle and no right clothing. I only bought mudguards and bike together, rest I had to buy bit by bit. And some things I had before. And some got from old bike. Since it was almost winter and dark. I had to get lights too, because of the order of law. And then rain and wind resistant jacket and tights, but that wasn't enough to be able to ride in winter. I also needed studded tires, because of ice. But I didn't buy them, I had too few money. :) So I couldn't cycle in this winter almost at all. There was also too many dead animals on roads. It took the pleasure away. Well there's many things u need to buy beside of a bicycle, especially when want to ride also in bad weather. The most important are probably padded pants.. They have invented so many different things, that make cycling more enjoyable. There were even electrical shoe sole warmers that work with rechargeable batteries. But yeah. Most of things were so expensive.Well...

Pros and cons.

Pros:1. It's cheaper than car.2. It doesn't pollute air.3. It makes you lose extra weight.4. U feel good after a ride as like after a exercise.5. U have a excuse why to wear tights or even better a skinsuit :P6. People will smile to you more, especially in bad weather.7. U can park it to your bed room.8. It's more fun to go to a trip to green near the town by bicycle.9. It's faster than walking.10. It doesn't consume gasoline.Cons.1. It's still expensive.2. U get tired when cycle too long.3. U have to wear embarrassing revealing clothes (everyone see how fat you are) to enjoy and feel comfortable in bicycle saddle. (Well actually they make different cycling clothes too, but you don't want those right?!)4. There's not enough safe bicycle lanes/roads.5. U have to carry a big bag on your bike with many locks to keep your bike from thieves.6. There are many dead animals in road that make you feel sick......I can't think more now.

Preface.

irst time when I came across with an vector graphic editor. There wasn't any good tutorial, there wasn't even Inkscape yet. There was Sodipodi instead. I thought then, that when I learn to use it, I will write an tutorial by my self. Now time have fled. New tutorials and manuals have appeared. The Inkscape was born. But I feel, I'm still not competent enough. Now there isn't any need to write an tutorial by myself anymore. But I already had decided to do it and I want to see if I'm actually able to write it.

For starters.

The most important tools in toolbox are: Selector Node editing tool Rectangle drawing tool Round drawing tool And star drawing tool With selector, u can select, move, resize, flip and rotate objects/paths. U can also send them lower or raise up. Node editing tool is also very important. With that u can modify all objects and paths. As the name suggests, star, rectangle and round drawing tools are meant to draw round, star and rectangle shaped objects. Most fun is star drawing tool. That is because of it's randomness availability. From star drawing tool's control-bar(The horizontal tool's control bar at up) You can change the numbers of star's spikes, spoke ratio(length of spikes), roundness and randomness. You can write desired values into those text boxes on control bar or Increasing/decreasing them by clicking those small arrows or choosing values from list, by right-clicking on that box. These parameters can also be modified by dragging those control nodes at edge. When you hold town shift, control or alt key. You can change different parameters by dragging them.from left. 1) An normal star. 2) Six spoked star with too much roundness applied. 3) Little rounded star with few randomness.PS. When you want to create an proportional object(example square) hold control key down while dragging(sizing/resizing).To edit path's and object's fill and/or stroke color, gradient and etc. click to button on command bar. A panel for fill and stroke editing will appear at right(If it wasn't there already). There u can change selected object's fill and stroke color. U can chose also between no color(transparent), flat color, linear gradient, radial gradient and etc.The direction, range and ellipticity(for radial gradient) can be edited with node editing tool. , or by gradient editing/creating tool by dragging those little dot's. The square dot represents the start point of a gradient(center of radial gradient on this pic) and rounded one(s) the end(s). When selecting one dot with gradient editing tool u can change the color of gradient at that stop. With double click on line that connects dots, u can add more stops.Now these objects are all nice and so, but it doesn't look like they could have much use when it comes to draw an human body. Actually that's not true. All object's can be converted into paths and then edited into what ever shape by node editing tool, joined(united) together with other paths and so on. Of course a path can be drawn also with pencil (freehand drawing tool) from the root. But it's much more convenient. To put things together from rounds and rectangles. To convert an object into path, select it with node editing tool and then click to the object to path converting button at tool control bar. Now you can change the shape of the path by dragging, adding, deleting these small dot's(nodes) at the edges of your path(figure). You can also change the shape of the path by grabbing from path's edge with node editing tool. (When the cursor is in range where path (an figure's edge) can be grabbed, cursor's shape will change from to ) Double click there will insert a node. When you click once, nearest nodes from both sides will get selected. U can delete any selected node by pressing delete key on keyboard. The nodes can be changed to corner, smooth or to symmetric ones, when holding the control key down and clicking on them. Same can be applied also from tool control bar.

Drawing an creature.

ctually I have no idea how to draw an creature. So I can't teach that. But I won't admit it. If possible don't use stroke paint. Strokes can't be choppy. They have one width for the whole length. Use filled paths instead. It takes more time, but the result is better.To draw an human head, it's obvious, that the best way is to draw a round first. And then change it into path by clicking to object to path converting button at node editing tools control bar, or choosing "Object to path" from path menu. Next add some more nodes. U can do that by double clicking at edges or by selecting all nodes and then clicking to node inserting button at tool control bar. To select multiple nodes. Drag over desired nodes, or hold shift key down and then click one by one to nodes that u want select/deselect. Modify the shape by dragging nodes and edges until u get desired shape of head. Something like u can see at right. Hopefully a nicer one :) Damn it! Did I already told all that before? ..But it would be pity to delete now.< :-)There is an easy, quick way to make shades. They will be not best, but u don't have to drag nodes around. Duplicate the object that needs shaded and cut the shade out from that double. To do it. Click to Duplicating button at the command bar. Move the double into an free are and then duplicate it once again. Change the color of the new double so that they will become distinguishable from each other. Slightly move the new one, so that an desired shade shaped area of the double will become visible from behind. Select both doubles again and then chose Division from Path menu. Because the division creates too much nodes to the line, where it cuts. It's recommended to click also simplify from path menu. Select the piece that will become into shadow and move it into place and change it's color to darker one.. The piece that was left can be delete. Select it and press delete key.Simple shaped(radial or linear) shadows, example hair line on picture below, can be made with gradient tool. Also Blushing (red cheeks) can be easily done with gradient. All body parts and things: eyes, brows, hairs, nose, mouth, hands and so on. can be shaped out from rounds and rectangles. It's very convenient to build body from ellipsoids.I actually wanted to draw an face of girl, but made somewhere some mistake and got an face of somewhat feminine guy. Oh well that's what happens when trying to do, too many things simultaneously.

Afterword.

ince I already wrote the preface, then I have to write some after words too isn't. Here they are: Damn it! I will never write any Introductions, again. It's already too annoying to correct my typos, grammar errors and all other things that I make. But there is also my lack of experience to write an Introduction. It already makes me mad when I think, how some certain guys might read this and laugh at me... Well I still believe, that I'm better than all those laughters. LOL. Just kidding. Actually it's just that I have nothing to say anymore. Because I'm done with this "introducing" thing. And I'm too lazy to correct errors now. So I just goofing off, by writing more errors into this after word, that I have to correct later. I had fun with drawing and doing page layout. I'm satisfied with the illustration at page footer. That was the first thing I drew after page header. The blue haired boy with nerd-antenna, is drawn last. I don't like it so much. I wanted to draw an girl, but made some mistake. I changed it into an boy, but still wasn't satisfied. As for revenge, I made that creature into even more foolish looking boy with silly smile.. But I still wasn't satisfied.
