I now it sounds a bit odd but i was wandering if it is possible, lately I've been creating images in Inkscape then exporting it into gimp for blending and etc. So I can basically learn how to use both programs at the same time.

so i was wandering if it is at all possible to just get the plain line art from a image created in Inkscape so i can keep the nice crisp lines in another layer...


the current vector I'm working on (the one i want to get the lines from)

a previous completed work with me doing this inkscape to gimp thing

any help would be appreciated, or ideas on how to obtain the same kind of effect..
thankyou
