Digital arts 21 - Drawing - Portrait

It is easy to draw simple shapes with GIMP. To prepare a complicated figures, I preferred to use  Inkscape. In this practice, a not so simple figure was prepared with Inkscape and then exported as a png file. The file was then used as the base to create different drawing with GIMP. Many combinations of filters were tried and some of the results were presented here.

Digital arts 20 - Drawing - Squares

Using simple shapes, such as squares,  I expected amazing graphics with be produced with different combinations of G'MIC filters.  What graphics can be produced and how do they look like? Who knows? Just try. This time some squares were used.

The very beginning simple drawing.

With filters Raindrop, Anguish and Finger paint applied.

O1

With filters Colored pencils, Morphology painting and Raindrop applied.

O2

With filters Lyleyk;s painting, Finger paint and Graphic novel applied .

O3

With filters Posterized dithering, Kaleidoscope [blended] and Painting applied.

O4

Setting  O1 as Dissolve and 80% opacity with O3, the following was obtained.

By flipping O3 vertically and setting  the layer to Multiply and 40% opacity with O3 itself, the following was obtained.

There are many and many different combinations and the outputs cannot be predicted. In order to obtained a satisfactory graphics wanted, many, many, hard works are needed.

Digital arts 19 - Drawing - Owl

Once, I watched an owl that had an eye blinded in KFBG. I took a photo of it and want to create a drawing about it. I tried, and the result was no good. People always said that were cockroaches when looked at my drawings. No matter that they are cockroaches or owls, it is fun to create them. Many filters from the G'MIC filter collection were used to produce the drawings.

Digital arts 18 - Drawing - Flower man

After learned how to use tools like Gimp, Inkscape and GMIC and etc., I hurried for my ultimate goal. It is to create some drawing with these tools. So I started to make my first creation.  As green to the world of digital arts. I used very simple tools in Inkscape to create simple linear figures to include part token out from my previous work to form the flower man. The background was drawn in Inkscape and brought into Gimp and applied the Fractalize filter of G'MIC on it and then blurred with Guassian blur filter. The outcome looks like drawing of little kid, but I do like it. Drawing is fun.
