Inkscape A Great Companion For Graphic Design

Image created in Inkscape vector software
Inkscape is a great opensource software that can be used to produce some amazing graphics illustration. It's ideal for you if you don't have money to buy expensive graphics software. For quite a few years I have been experimenting with Inkscape learning new techniques on how to create vector images nicely.

What is Vector ?

Ordinary image types tends to loose resolution when they are resized to a higher size. This makes them unusable in certain situation where a large scaling is required. Unlike images that are of the type jpeg,png, vector images retains their resolution whatever the size you resize them. That's the basic characteristic of a vector image which makes it very useful in the print and digital media. Inkscape has some great features through which you can create stunning vector images. All you should know is the basic understanding of how vector images can be manipulated using various tools available in the software.

Recently I started submitting my illustrations to shutterstock. For vector submissions, we are required to upload both a jpg file and an eps file. Jpg file conversion is not available in the Inkscape. What I am doing now is first export the image to png format and using mspaint I open the .png file and save it in jpg format. It is very easy. Vector files are stored in Inkscape using svg format. But to upload to shutterstock I need to upload both .jpg and .eps files a the same time. I needed to convert the .svg format to .eps format. It is also very simple. Simply save the svg file as .eps format. So far my experience is great with the Inkscape and would like to learn more. You can review my shutterstock image set here.

In the film, Roger Moore, as James Bond, is involved in a thrilling chase sequence through the streets of Udaipur, India, where he uses a tuk tuk to evade his pursuers. This memorable scene showcases the nimbleness and unique charm of tuk tuks in a high-action context.  Tuk Tuk or Auto Rikshaw is a familiary sight in the streets of Bangkok, the historic alleys of Delhi, or the lively roads of Manila. These three-wheeled wonders, known for their distinctive design and vibrant colors, are not just a means of getting from point A to point B but an integral part of the cultural fabric in many Asian cities.  A Brief History  After World War II, the Daihatsu Midget, a small three-wheeled vehicle, gained popularity due to its affordability and efficiency. The concept soon spread to other parts of Asia,...

Elephant Running

elephant running It's a baby elephant running. These beautiful creations of God are elegant and sometimes frightening. Asian and African counterparts have got apparent differences in their structure and behaviour. Asian elephants are tamable and used for tourist and business (timber industry) purposes. It's a feast for eyes spotting large herd of these elegant animals gazing together freely in jungle. Drawing this elephant took some trials before it is in this shape. I used just a fountain pen and scanned it and colored it using http://paintschainer.preferred.tech/.
