Critique for gremlin

Try using the circle tool so you don't need up with that extra line near the bottom of the head, remove the white fill from the feet, and make the hands about the same size everywhere.

Yeah, I thought the hands looked weird too. I'll try to use taht advice in teh future.
I noticed the feet only just now, but when I reopened the the edges seemed pixelly. I'll remember next time.
And I did use the circle! However, I had to put a line over it!
See, whenever I did the line thing, it would end up covering the bottom of the head. So I did a curve, which sorta fixed it but made it look a little odd.

[DoomITP]

Nope, it isn't.
Also, can you please stop pressing 'enter' like, 4 times? And maybe improve the grammar?

I swear, if anyone makes another grammar crack I'm leaving.

[The Gremlin]

It isn't a 'crack'. You seriously need to use better grammar. English is your first language, so you have no excuse. And if you plan to leave because we want you using better grammar, then you probably should reconsider. It isn't a thing to leave over.
Seriously, lighten up. Grammar isn't that hard to use.

then why'd you try and kick CA over grammar?

Grem; Two things. first, if you select an object, you can press pageup and pagedown buttons to move the selected option above or below the other objects that you have made. second, you are going to want to save inkscape files normally (as .svg), not exporting them. That way, you can go back and make changes to the vectors.

just some things you might or might not have gotten yet.


Mega; you really need to learn to relax. Grammar is important however, if you want to be taken seriously. (and get respectful answers too, most of the time)

Thanks, but when I go on Photobucket and try to upload an svg file, it doesn't even show it as an option.
As for the other thing, thanks.

Shifted from the bottom of last page:

It's just a random guy I drew. I know, it looks pretty crappy. This was my first real try on Inkscape.

Blah blah blah Trazoi's Guide.
It's what a considerable amount of the forum has used, and it's never steered me wrong, though I don't use Layers.

Oh, great. Thanks!
I've tried to read it often, but I couldn't understand the Layers thing. I thought they were mandatory.
Thanks a lot!

You save to work on it, and export to make it a final picture. You can make edited versions with the svg and export it again.

Ohhhh, so I save it as svg when I export? Thanks! I think I understand now.

[Szilard]

It's all in the quide...

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Onto a completely different note, would anyone happen to know who the artist is that made these?

Ah, no, not quite.
Save: Saves the image as a .svg. Can be changed in Inkscape. Shortcut: Ctrl-S.
Export: Saves the image as a .png or other. Cannot be changed in Inkscape. Shortcut: Shift-Ctrl-E.
EDIT: Or you can go with BRC's metaphor. It's much better.

[BRC]

Ohhhh, so I save it as svg when I export? Thanks! I think I understand now.

No.

The file that you edit is called a "SVG" or "Scalable Vector Graphics" file. When you export it, Inkscape takes what your selection/the stuff on the page/the entire drawing and creates a PNG out of it.

Here is a metaphor, Imagine a big empty space that you can put stuff in, move stuff around in, ect. Occasionally, you take a picture of all or part of the big empty space, and then you can go back to moving stuff around. The Picture is the PNG file, the big empty space is the SVG.

Also, Trazoi's guide is highly reccomended. It's a great starting point, once your comfortable with it, you'll end up naturally developing your own style.

[Fawkes]

[Mina Kobold]

Trazoi.. Oh right that's the nameon the link in my spoiler. Did you try it when I suggested it Gremlin?

[chriky]

@Mem - Do you have a beta addition of inkscape or a newer one?

Because mine doesn't have a fill or a 3-D tool.

Edit - @Mecha - Are you planning on getting us of the Vendetta, or do you want me to do it.

As i've said before, you can exit through the giant hole at the top.

Yeah I know, I was just wondering whether Mecha was gonna draw it 'cause I can't be asked.

It is about 1-2 months old...even more so...

I never use the fill tool, as it leaves a white outline. The only exception was when I made the bandana in this picture:

For a PbP game.

You where a girl

[Shades of Gray]

Well, I didn't get into the game, but my character was, indeed, a girl.
