I’ve been wanting to do some more inkscape stuff, so I’ve been looking for some tutorials and inspiration online. Here are some of the drawings that came from them. More after the “read the rest of this entry” link.
Wish Inkscape had some tangent snapping for these kind of things...
Been doodling with inkscape again. It’s tricky to find all the functions from the tutorials again when you haven’t used them in a while. But what the hell, twas fun.
Here’s a logo I did for someone this morning. It’s his own design, on a piece of paper, I just made it into a vector logo.
Right, now back to the mammut.
Last few posts have been focussing on some vector stuff. There’s a reason for that. There are a few potential employers that like to see more of that kind of work, and because I’ve been wanting to get into inkscape anyway.
Today, a quick logo for my website, or something, a fake logo with a traced and cleaned image from a truck, and a 3D render of a weird trucklogo. There’s X number of trucklogo’s out there that have an image of a truck like this, with the companies name next to it. So while it’s not the best idea for a logo (plus there might be legal issues, it’s pretty obvious what kind of truck it is), it was a good idea to recreate it for practise anyway. The render is for a friend of mine, just for laughs, unless he actually likes it, then he can have it. Gonna start on a new character rig for someone else now.
Had to do some administration today, and I squeezed this one in. It’s made in Inkscape, from a tutorial found here.
It has been a while since I’ve done any vector related stuff. I’ve been focussing on blender (and the gimp) for my CG hobby, but I’ve been meaning to learn inkscape as well. My last employer had illustrator, which I used most of the time, but being an open source fan, I want to learn the open source alternative.
So I’ve been doing a few tutorials, to get in the “comfort” zone. Not there yet, but getting there anyway 🙂
