its far better to reanimate an existing topic than creating a new one [img]http://freenet-homepage.de/origamichris/ablage/nod.gif[/img]

I also like the look of computer-drawn diagrams because it looks clearer and nicer. :D
Love origami for ever!

I like the diagrams what are drew by pencil more(as David Brill's book). But it's not easy to preserve and share.

Now I draw diagrams by program Corel Draw 13, it's very easy to learn and use (my friend teached me only about 30min~1h for all useful functions) , and good enough to draw nice every diagram.

I prefer hand-drawn diagrams as I hardly know how to use the computer programs, only knowing how to draw basic bases using visio.

I don't really diagram much, as they take too much time, but if I were to do so, I guess I would use InkScape, or pencil and paper :D.

I'm also all for Inkscape, because I can't draw and Inkscape is free.

I like well drawn handmade diagramms most, because the look more natural and ar artsy in themselves

I like going by pencil and paper most (on the rare occasions I do diagram lol ) because I find its quickest and easiest for me to work with :)

buuuut I don't often even finish diagrams and they don't really turn out all too great when done in pencil so for when I want to make them look all nice, I use inkscape :P

Before I discovered Inkscape, I used Word to draw diagrams. If I had started with Inkscape first, I probably would find Word pretty frustrating, but because I used it so much, I was able to churn out some pretty decent diagrams. If there weren't better free options out there and MS Office was all you had, I would still recommend it. :lol:

I have personally used pen and paper for a while now, but I'm now starting to try out Inkscape with this video:

from @jonakashima. Seems pretty cool. :)

Thank you xun2000. I've tried diagramming any of my models because I thought it would really hard and timeconsuming to get any good with drawingprogram to make it work. But looking at this video it seems an easy to learn program. I might just give it a try.
