This cute girl is our colorful interpretation of the first comic drawn on a computer, ever. We've found her in #IvanSutherland's #MIT thesis about #CAD. The #illustration was made 1963 with #Sketchpad in outlines only.

#DennisRitchie is a legendary developer since #C is still a popular language. The impact of his #MULTICS #UNIX related work on #IRIX #NeXT and #OSX stretches over to #Linux #Android and #iOS as well. Somehow, most users are better aware of what #SteveJobs had stolen from #Xerox.

Did another Inkscape vs. Illustrator test and while for me Potrace (which is what Inkscape uses) outperforms Illustrator on b&w / lineart drawings, Illustrator does win the full-colour battle.

Basically Illustrator is more accurate, better capturing the details, while Inkscape is a bit glitchy and looses some destails.

This is made using 16 colours for both pieces of software, tweaking the settings to get the best possible result.
