Inkscape Tutorial - Raised Lettering Effect
2009-01-26 20:18:00 A while back I saw a search come in for "Inkscape bump-map". While a bump-map filter as such does not exist in Inkscape, there is a way to get shapes to have a raised 3D appearance. We'll use lettering for this example. Start with a large canvas - I'm using 800x800 here. I have Inkscape's name written here in the canvas font at 144 point-size, and I increased the size some more after that. We'll see why size is a factor later. Set the font to the darkest shade of the color you're going to use. With the shape still selected, Ctrl-D to duplicate it. Now set the color on this duplicate to just a shade lighter. Next, we're going to create a "path inset" - to do this, hit "Ctrl-(" - hold down the control, shift, and 9 keys to get the left parenthesis. You only need one inset step at a time, so only hit it once. Then, use the arrow keys left and up to nudge the lighter, inset shape slightly to the upper-left corner of the darker bottom shape. Now we just keep repeating these fo...
Producing an EBook Cover With POVRay and Inkscape
2008-12-04 01:49:00 This is going to be half-tutorial and half-exhibition, for at least the intermediate graphics artist. In selling ebooks, even though you're buying an electronic document that exists only in the virtual world, sellers prefer to market the book with a graphic of the book as if it were a physical object. Which has given rise to a small market for ebook cover design and renders. Here, I've produced a hypothetical example: So I'll just walk you through the steps. It isn't worth pinning it down in detail, because that might change for an individual project. You might draw the cover and spine in something besides Inkscape, you might need a different size, and you might want to show a paperback or a spiral-bound book or some other design. I'm also going to use KPOVModeler and show how to do it in the GUI, since my usual POVRay tutorials degenerate into a gobbledegook of code which I'm not sure if that's lost on anybody or what. So let's try reaching the visual learners this time...

Inkscape and Gimp: Tracing a Cartoon Figure
2007-11-11 18:51:00 This isn't really an Earth-shattering technique, but I've lucked out with it enough times to warrant a tutorial. It actually fits with the popular art-school methods for drawing a figure on paper, especially for drawing superhero-type figures. 1. Pull an interesting human figure off of a search. Here, I chose this muscle man. Import the image into Inkscape. Enlarge as necessary. 2. Make an oval using the circle tool. Your oval should have a partially transparent fill color and a solid border color of about one pixel. Place it over the face, sizing and rotating it to the closest fit. 3. Keep covering the rest of the body by duplicating the oval and scaling and rotating it into place. Hey, squares are OK to use, too! 4. When you're done covering the figure, move the original picture out of the way or delete it - we are done with it. Select the whole group of shapes and group them, then surround the group with a transparent box (to give the figure some pixel padding around...

Inkscape Tutorial - Web 2.0 Logos
2007-07-25 17:45:00 Bleah! More glossy crystal buttons and mirrored text! If you're anything like me, your reaction these days to the Web 2.0 aesthetic style is a cry of dismay and the gesture of your finger in your mouth in a gagging motion. Ten years from now, the world will look back on the currently popular art style as "the disco era of the web". First I was afraid; I was petrified. Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side... But I know one thing that is guaranteed to boost your opinion of Web 2.0 graphics: put some money in your pocket and put you in charge of buying some logos for your company. Suddenly, you become so conservative that even Ted Stevens would go "Hey, loosen up, dude!" If you work in graphics right now and try to do ANYTHING original, you won't sell it. Clients go, "What's that? That doesn't look like anything I've seen before. I don't trust it. It looks daring. Can't you just draw me something that looks exactly like every other website out there?" So, We...
Inkscape Tutorial - Trees
2007-07-22 15:38:00 Fractals have a long history of fascinating computer and math geek alike, but this time we're going to take the way a fractal simulates natural ordered chaos and apply it to the practical purpose of drawing a natural object! However, this isn't going to be a very realistic tree, just a drawing good enough for an icon or a game sprite. I'm assuming you know the basics of Inkscape editing. If not, head on over the one of the best manuals for any graphics tool I've ever read, "A Guide to Inkscape". This tutorial also makes heavy use of the 'effects' plug-ins in Inkscape 0.44. Not only are the effects items being changed and shuffled around between versions, but they also require that you have the PyGTK library. In short, I'd recommend finding a GNU/*nix system which already has all of this installed and configured for you. I did it all manually a while back on Slackware, which I remember as being a painful experience. Anywho - if your system doesn't have the exact same names ...
Inkscape Tutorial - The Sun
2007-07-19 16:20:00 Half of the battle in graphic design is working smarter, not harder. I've done some tutorials for Gimp which push that tool to its limits, but too many folks focus on Gimp and forget that we have a whole arsenal of power graphics tools on the Linux desktop. Here is one image which would have been a pain to do in Gimp, but a snap in Inkscape. I'm assuming you know the basics of Inkscape editing. If not, head on over the one of the best manuals for any graphics tool I've ever read, "A Guide to Inkscape". Inkscape is much easier to learn than Gimp, anyway. How to Draw a Sun in Inkscape 1. First, draw a circle. Keep it to the grid to ensure that it's round. Give it a radial gradient (Ctrl-Shift-F to get the fill 'n' stroke dialog) of yellow-to-orange. Use the path-edit tool to move the gradient slightly off-center to the upper left. 2. Use the Bezier curve tool to click out a two-stroke path. that it, click once, move straight down and click again, move back to the first nod...
