Drawing Pictures on PC - Inkscape FREE
|
Hi friends,
There is a free software for making pictures. There are many functions, textures and clever tricks - shades, blurs etc... Those who draw pictures in MS Word and MS Powerpoint might like free Inkscape too...
It makes svg files, which you can copy to MS Word - no problem. SVG are editable.
Or you may convert the pictures into non-editable PNG. Here is a copy of clipart I made. (PNG)

Yes, that �s the software... I think it is not for beginners, but after watching a few youtube tutorials everybody will be able to make some nice pictures...
free download - http://inkscape.org/download/?lang=en
The trick I love most: "TEXT ON PATH"
we can draw a curve or a shape (house, star, tree, cloud)
and with "A" tool write some text, shift+click shape + text to select both,
then go to Menu - Text - Put on Path. You will have the text shaped around the object...

Downloaded as soon as I saw your thread, but still learning how to manage it... hope I �ll learn it before I become 60. Pretty soon, I mean. |

I drew the bear after watching tutorials for 1 hour.
The following day I learnt how to lay the text on path (after 30 minutes of cursing) :-D
It takes time but the soft is really cool. Many effects...
Remember to SAVE the picture every 5-10 minutes...
The text on path is best with pictures with no sharp edges, the nice curves are the best... Try a heart, a butterfly wings, a spiral...
Copy a stencil from internet and trace the outline...
Zailda, I am SURE you can master the software in a few minutes!
