If you like to create line art illustrations, or would like to learn how to digitize your drawings, this class is for you! Inkscape offers a free and flexible vector graphics solution to every illustrator, but this course is all about creating line art in different styles!
During this course:
- We start with understanding how tracing bitmap works, and how to trace your freehand drawings automatically to get the best results.
- Than we learn and understand the Bezier tool and the path editor and create a geometric city illustration.
- After this we practice these tools further by vectorizing a hand drawn sketch about a cute cartoon character.
- Later, to achieve absolute mastery with the Bezier tool, we turn a simple photo into a trendy one-line illustration!
- And finally you will learn to design your own custom brushes and use them to create a free hand illustration in Inkscape!
This class is offering several projects for you to complete. Jus pick any of them you like and submit your artwork here for me and the other students to see!
Pick any number of these projects:
- Digitize a simple sketch with the Bezier tool - use the kitten drawing if you want!
- Draw a vector city like the one in the class! If you can, add your own touch, draw different trees, cars and buildings :)
- Create a one line portrait like the one I did during the class
- Create and use your own custom brushes and digitize your sketch
Just create any of these assignments, and export them as bitmap images.
(In Inkscape go to File > Export bitmap to export a .png image from your work. Or just take a screenshot :) )
Feel free to use the images I created for practice!
