Seeing the various creations that mart44 has been sharing with us took me back quite some years now to when I started trying to create things myself using Inkscape - a free vector software.
Unfortunately I can’t remember where I obtained the sketch so I can’t attribute it - just know that I am not the originator of the sketched image.
If you look closely, starting from the left you can follow some of the evolution and changes I made to create the eventual finished article at the right.
I’m afraid I don’t have the patience to do this now but I thoroughly enjoyed it at the time.
I used to get a sketch or an image and try to copy it as closely as possible. I didn’t trace anything I just created shapes and using the tools provided in Inkscape reshaped those shapes to those needed to re-create an image such as the one in this page here.
If you look closely, starting from the left you can follow some of the evolution and changes I made to create the eventual finished article at the right.
It may not look like it but there are literally hundreds of layers that go to making that completed image.
I haven’t looked at Inkscape for a long time and had to download the latest incarnation of the software in order to open my old files and I was really surprised to see just how much it has evolved over the years. Amazing really.
