If you haven't heard me mention it before, I really love the FREE software called GIMP, which stands for GNU image manipulation program. It's a delightful FREE program with most of the bells and whistles you'll find in photoshop. There is so much to it that I only know how to use a handful of tools. I've been playing with scans of sketches and here's tonight's result. The black and white was the original paper drawing with a marker. I scanned it and saved it as a jpg, then did some fills and spraypaint with GIMP. Easy as pie! Mmmm....in the mood to draw some pie now.
Kelli, I love this. I really like your original sketch, especially the reflection on your pencil lead. I will try this! Good luck on your pie!
ReplyDeleteThe software might be clever - but it takes your initial artwork to make the finished results so good! Have now watched the Stitch Imagery DVD that I won. It's brilliant - very clear and inspirational, thank you again
