I'm actually not sure what Friends is for. You can put them in the Foes list and not see their messages. I know that Foes is used if for example, some member annoys you and you don't want to see their messages. Well, actually this forum does have Friends and Foes in the User Control Panel. I might guess you mean either direct links to members' Facebook pages, or sometimes I've seen forums which have that kind of feature. I'm not sure what you mean by "friend everyone". It just depends on how you see yourself using it. And others post all their images in one topic. Some people post images in individual topics now and then. It doesn't matter if some of it isn't vector. It's for any work done in Inkscape, even if it's only a little bit Inkscape. Oh gosh, I didn't even realize that it wasn't all vector! You're welcome to post it in Finished Work subforum. This image is actually part of a logo I'm designing for a client and it's suppose to depict kids from all around the world eating right and being active. Thank you!ĭruban: Appreciate the kind words! Yes, I am indeed a newbie but have totally fell in love with Inkscape, vector and SVG art/design. I'm sweating over here because of a time crunch. Kind of need help on this right away, if possible. Here I was trying to fill in one of the squares in the boys sweater to red, instead I get a big blob fill. Before I set out, I've zoomed in to make sure every area I'm about to fill is "bounded" using and there are no unconnected sections.Īs you can see in the pics below, before I could fill any area, such as the tomato, tennis racket or continents/water on the globe. I need help with a new challenge: and Fill and Stroke worked perfectly with coloring, but now when I go to fill any part with color, it either crashes the program or fills in a very bizarre way. Xav: as far as your awesome tutorial here for me, I'm going to follow it and see what I can come up with. I'm in the process of reading, rereading & reading once more any and everything Inkscape-related, including the fantastic, built-in manual. I've seen a few videos Youtube, but none really were clear or concise enough to follow for me. So as it stands now, the biggest challenge for me is going to be understanding and then implementing nodes to the semi-intricate drawing I'm working with. Being a newbie, though, I was looking for one simply labeled “pen tool”/etc, which none of the pen tools are. Ok, I know about the hovering over icons to get a bit more info about them. Yes, I checked out all of your profiles/links, ladies and gents. Your work reminds me of a lot of those items years ago. Man, you ROCK! Long ago I did comic books for the amusement of myself/close friends. Xav: I'm blown away by the effort and detail of your reply. I'm keenly looking all of the advice/tips provided. At this stage I'll use the tools in The GIMP to do some minor cleanup or adjustments.įirst, thank you brynn, Xav and, previously, microUgly, for all your suggestions and help, it is VERY much appreciated. I adjust the colour curve to give me a clear black outline to work with (example image attached - rescaled to 25% of the size I work with). Any remaining marks are removed in the computer.Ĥ) I scan the image and load it into The GIMP. Sometimes small mistakes are made, which we tidy up in the computer later.ģ) The pencil marks are erased as well as we can. There's lots of rubbing out and redrawing at this stage to get the image right.Ģ) He inks the drawing using dense black ink pens. We usually try to work with separate parts, rather than do the comic as a single image (apart from anything else, it makes it easier to re-use parts in other strips). Finally you can rearrange your objects back into the positions you want for them, and colour them if necessary.Īs an example, here's what we (me and my colleague, Vince) for our 'Monsters, Inked' comic:ġ) Vince draws a pencil sketch of the characters, props or objects we need. If you traced multiple objects in one image you can then separate them by duplicating the path, drawing a rough path round objects, and using the boolean operations to cut them out (doing it that way is faster than trying to delete lots of nodes using ). Import the image(s) into Inkscape and then Trace Bitmap. You may not need to adjust the colour, but I always do. Tidy up the scan using a bitmap editor, and possibly adjust the colour curve to make the black blacker (rather than the grey colour it's likely to be after scanning). I would suggest tracing the individual object outlines using dense black ink pens, then scanning those. You might be able to use Trace Bitmap (depending on what sort of result you're looking for), but the original image will need some work first.
