      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. ๐Ÿ‘

        @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.

          I think the title you used on the Twilight Render forum (Alphabet Inspired Sketches) is right on. ๐Ÿ‘

          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.

            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. ๐Ÿ˜‰ 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?

                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.

                  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 ๐Ÿ˜ฎ )

                      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?

                            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?

                                            Thanks, Pilou for the link, there are some amazing results. Although in some cases the relationship between the significant and signifier is so that discerning the "Alphabet" is hard.

                                            Also, I am doing the final touches on my book and hope to be able to share it.
                                            P.S. here is the link to some pages of the book. Sorry for the low quality:
