To begin drawing, select the drawing tool from the toolbar, or press the B key on your keyboard. If one area is completely white then map out that area.ĥ. To help yourself see less tonal values and help distinguish areas of similar colour, you can try squinting your eyes at the image. If one area is a similar shade of brown, then make one shape that fits that area. Rather than having a seemingly infinite array of tones and gradients (as in a photograph), we will make shapes that correspond to similar colour areas. We will be simplifying the image by limiting the number of colours. Colour blocking is the process of separating different colour areas like what we saw in our colour-by-number. It is important to observe and notice the differences between light and dark areas, as this is what will give our image dimension. We will be building our shapes based on areas of similar tones and colours. Leave this layer unlocked, as this is where you will be drawing. Make a new layer by clicking on the + or pressing Shift+Ctrl+N A menu will pop up where you can name your layer and choose the layer position. The final result should look like the picture above, where we simply inserted a logotype available on Wikipedia.4. rings are intertwined, what means we'll work in different layers. circles are actually rings, what means we'll work with transparent objects 5 different colors on the white background This means it's best to make a plan before we begin, what will eventually lead to greater efficiency.įor the same reason, I'll provide keyboard shortcuts wherever and whenever possible. If you try to look at it as a construction tool, you'll manage to understand it much better. Five colorful circles are a perfect example of useful tools available in this open source program.īefore we begin, please note that Inkscape is actually not a drawing program. To prove its power, I'll use it to design a simple logotype: Olympic circles. Inkscape is a free alternative to much better known, yet very pricey Illustrator.
