For the past few weeks I've been working on the Squid plugin.

• draw the curve 
• create an outline
• create a fill

Once you have those parameters, you enclose them in an instruction. 

While it may not be the easiest way to draw with computer, clearly it has a ton of advantages when drawing complex drawings (data viz anyone ?).

Hope you like it. If you do, consider joining the Squid group here.

PS. All the Squid icons were drawn using the Squid (I was drawing the Draw icon using Draw...)

Also the simple illustration up there was made with it.

Check the group for some more examples. I attach one below.
