Illustration Friday: Popularity

My entry for this week's Illustration Friday theme. I decided to use Inkscape to create a vector based image. I started out, as usual, with a scanned pencil sketch and drew vector shapes on top of this in Inkscape.

The program is great, but I didn't really like fiddling with vectorhandles. Not totally satisfied with this one.. The result could have been smoother and more polished. I'm also thinking about using gradients more...Maybe next time!
