Hi Angie!
fine art and in the past few years I've slowly been learning
digital
art. I was able to ditch the photoshop habit and now use GIMP for the
majority of what I do. I'm starting to get a grip on inkscape. I joined
the fedora art flickr community, and I'm housegirl_photos
<
http://www.flickr.com/photos/30991136@N04/> there.
Our flickr group is not very active, I still hope we will get at some
point some Free infrastructure for sharing photos. I am also pretty much
into photography these days, maybe for F12 we will be able to do
something with photos (at least "Wallpaper Extras").
As far as applicable skills, in the past I've mostly done fliers
and
posters for people, and I enjoy that a lot. My GIMP is somewhat strong,
and my inkscape is weak but improving. I've never met sodipodi before
seeing it mentioned in the art team mentors list of expertise.
This is fine, I think you will learn a lot by playing with some real
stuff for a clear goal.
BTW: Sodipodi is an old application, the predecessor of Inkscape. Please
tell me where you saw it listed, so I can remove it.
I have lots of ideas, many of them very bad. But enough are
workable.
Most of the time. I try and be gentle when I offer critique, but when
receiving it I really prefer to the point honesty. I don't need warm
fuzzy from someone who is trying to help make me better.
Don't be afraid to post here about your ideas, I hope we are not that
scary :p
As for where to start now that I'm here, it's a huge
environment and
half the time I"m not even really sure I'm looking in the right
places... I would not be offended if anyone points me at something I
probably missed, or just flat out tells me what to do until I get my
legs under me!
We have a page where people can request work from us, see if you find
there something interesting to work on:
