My first digital Painting

It's been a long time since I have picked up paint and brush in the real life (and the way things are going right, it may be a while before I manage to do so.). I have been spending more and more time on my laptop; work, personal erronds, news, keeping in touch with friends and for most of my spare-time activities.
Lately, I have been spending a lot of time looking for an alternative to Windows Vista for my next laptop upgrade. After getting excited about Max, I have ruled it out as it is definitely not for me (that's another blog I need to write, why Mac wouldn't work for me). Anyways, I liked Ubuntu (Linux) and these days I spend a lot of time finding Linux alternatives to various softwares, I have gotten used to. I have discovered GIMP and InkScape in the process. I have really been impressed with InkScape and what it's capable of. So here it is; my first digital art using InkScape.

And since you wouldn't believe I painted it from scratch, I will upload a video of how I painted it. :)
