Alphabet to sketch(up)

majid

So,
Maybe I must change the topics?
Any clue? what I have done is roughly 160 sketches + 80 pages of letters "designed" ( not all by me).

<< although is not my cup of tea.
I can understand that : you have not the complete mastering of the creation!

Maybe like this : Alphabet to sketch(up;)

OK guys - I finally get it. DUH - I am pretty dense. I, now, fully understand the influence of the alphabet being the inspiration for designs. Pilou, those are some wild/good images you shared.

Majid, I appreciate what you have shared and hope it will lead me down a more artistic and creative path.

@ntxdave; AS a native speaker, may I ask you please your suggested title for this topic or my book? It is much appreciated if helping me with disambiguation, please.

ntxdave

I think the title you used on the Twilight Render forum (Alphabet Inspired Sketches) is right on.

Again, I feel kind of silly not understanding/getting what you were saying in the title of this thread but the other title is spot on IMO. I am also surprised that more people did not respond.

majid

Thank you Dave for your contribution. It helps me to rectify the title of my "prospect e-book"! You did a great job as I think many wouldn't understand the content if I do not correct the title!

Glad my stupidity could help. It will be interesting to see what your book is about.

BTW, I am trying to learn Krita. It looks like a good piece of software and I have watched several videos. I am struggling a little with the brushes and the way layers work. It is a little hard to watch the videos and remember everything or to pause and flip between the videos and the application. Any recommendations?

majid

I am pretty sure you are smart. It was my fault that made it complicated and as you mentioned the topic on the twilight forum suits better.
Krita was a nightmare for me for the first two weeks. Then I slowly got familiar with it and rushes. The brush system is wonderful but I suggest not getting into it first. I started with very simple drills and tried to master the basics and tools. I use it as an image editor and also a digital painting tool. I have already shared what I have done using Krita.

ntxdave

What tools do you use (mouse, Wacom tablet, or others)?

Do you have any suggested courses/videos?

I have some basic problems:

I am not a very good artist but I like to try
Sometimes (sometimes often) I cannot get any good ideas (probably related to the previous comment)
I would like to be able to combine things/thoughts like people like you and Pilou
Lastly, I sometimes do not have enough patience in the learning process (maybe it is an aging problem )

Krita is a gaz engine!
i can't advice about 2D Drawing prog (i use only a 23 years prog (PhotoImpact 6)
A miracle that it works always!
Very very sufficient for anything! It can even make website!
All other 2D progs for the fun of research : Free Verve, Vervette online, Project Dogwaffle Particle (for its particles), Sketchbook for classic drawing, Sisley a Fotosketcher light for modify an image, ...
3 Rabbit are free Wombo
Abstract: Sysley of course all that is infinite!

It seems that Pilou has a bunch of mazing offers...! Thanks for sharing.
I am wondering what will happen in near future by implementing AI?

pilou

Yep and they have just one year existing!
The speedy progress is terrifying!

Majid, Pilou

I need some help. I am tyring to learn Krita but somehow I have really messed things up. When I try to draw an object, say a rectangle or elipse, when I click to end drawing the object, nothing is showing up. I have tried to change the color and no matter what I do, it does not show up. I cannot figure out what is messed up.

Also, what dockers to you have set up in the app? How do you set up the default options for using the application?
