OK! Thanks for your help.

Hi, thanks. A sample svg file is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wcq0223y7j6c7tn/Shading_Hand.svg?dl=0 If you look at the shading on the hand, you see that using a copy of the hand itself as a template to trim the shading, does get the right shape, BUT, the resulting shape overlaps half the stroke w...

Hi - I was looking to see if anyone could share a technique for adding a shadow color to a shape, especially a complex shape. The specific issue I have, is that the obvious way to do this leaves a visual error which is time consuming to correct. Take a shape, say a face, and draw a shadow on part of...

Awesome, thanks!

Hi - I'm trying to find a better technique for drawing things where you want an stroke and a fill, however, the stroke does not match the object's perimeter. See the image below for an example, in this case simplified hair. The first image is incorrect since the strands of hair should not have a str...

Hi All, Thanks so much for your suggestions. In playing around with the idea, I came with another alternative myself. Not right just yet, but maybe one of you has an idea on how to iterate on it. Basically, instead of trying to automate the swirls, I manually drew a few different types of swirls, an...

Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into those tools.

Hello, I am trying to draw a gas giant planet as part of a space scene. Here is an example of the the type of effect: https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fw-dog.net%2Fwallpapers%2F3%2F3%2F341369225599350%2Fgas-giant-planet-satellite-atmosphere.jpg&f=1 Basically it looks like a spher...

Hi All, This is maybe more of a artistic question rather than inkscape specific, but I am trying to set up a nice color palette for game art, especially for doing landscape items (rocks, foliage, wood tones, etc). I am curious how some of the more accomplished artists out there select colors. After ...

It works! Yay! thanks.

Hi! When I draw a shape with the pencil tool, a path effect "simplify" is always added to it (which I don't want). I can go back and remove this effect from the path effects menu, but was wondering how to set the tool so it doesn't add the effect to begin with. I have tried removing the ef...

Looks great! Do you use an auto tiling system? What engine is the game in?

Hi, no problem. I reported it as Bug #1693615 The way I have been able to reproduce it is by loading the drawing, selecting a few of the nodes next to the inner left side of the mouth, and trying to move them around. I added a second screenshot to the dropbox link. When looking at the second error s...

Hey guys, thanks so much for taking a look. I appreciate the feedback. Clothing is planned for later, but will be a separate layer in the game, placed on top of this one. I totally missed the non- round iris. I wasn't all that happy with the nose either, and was struggling with drawing it straight o...

Hi All, I am working on a portrait that will be used for a game, and would welcome feedback. I would like to get this first character about right, and then will work on some of the other characters (some male, some female, different skin tones, eye colors, will add clothes, etc). The in-game size wi...

No problem, I made a bug report, and included a description of which nodes you have to move to recreate the bug.

Hi Lazur, Hi Brynn, Thanks for the advice! I was able to "fix" that particular file by selecting the two end nodes of the freehand line, and using the join tool, rather than trying to combine the two lines. I do have a backup of the file before I fixed it, and a screenshot of the error, so...

Hi All, I'm having a consistent bug occurring with what seems like a fairly simple drawing. It's causing the program to crash with the message "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library, Runtime Error". I am new to inkscape, so maybe I created or edited the drawing in a way that's causing probl...
