"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited.
Imagination encircles the world."
- Albert Einstein -Our assignment for this week is to lay down some standard Vector Shapes and apply different alignment and distribution options to them.
Valentines Day is fast approaching and these little guys are running 'Horizonally Aligned at the Top' to meet you there!
All of us hope to receive lots of Kisses on Valentines Day.
If they are aligned Vertically from the Right and evenly spaced, will that make them easier to receive?
Another part of our assignment was to Create a few standard Vector Shapes and apply different deformations to them to give them a perspective effect similar to an example that was shown in the assignment *whew ~ Not telling Ya what page that's on* Hopefully Since I'm on my own here you'll just have to trust me that I am kinda following the lesson :)
My one and only accomplishment for 'Da Perspective Diddy'
Next ~~~ Use the Draw tool to create a simple line drawing (doesn't have to be artistic *whew*) ~ Save a copy of it and then Node Edit it to improve or simply change it.
That's Not Gonna Happen!! This assignment is coming in LATE now so instead of just fiddling around trying to be Creative I opted to go out and Plunder the Internet and find a Vector Toon Tutorial to Follow instead ~~ Arizona Kate's Thanks Kate!! Your uploading of this tutorial was perfect timing !!) OK, so maybe it's been here for ages -- I just NOW, Tonight, needed one and found Yours.
It was a very nice, well written tutorial. Easy to follow and a joy to create.
I learned about a really cool feature in Node Edit. Once in Node Edit you can EDIT those Nodes by more than just changing the style ~ Reverse the Conture or Reverse the Path is nifty little options ~~ Ya should have seen that Mane Before I found those.
*this image could have been titled 'Bad Hair Day' before.
Thanks Ron and Sally! ~~ Another Lesson that was More Fun than Work!
Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!
To America From God
February 1, 2003
America, this crew you chose, is the finest in the land, And if you'll pause a moment, I will share with you my plan.
The message I delivered to the crew was very clear, "This flight goes straight to Heaven, fear not, for I am near."
"My children I am with you, this trip is one I've planned, Yes....this trip is something special, it's one that God will man. Heaven's Great Space Center needs some special help up there. The Master has now summoned and is asking us to share."
They quickly volunteered for this mission in the sky, Not a one was unprepared, not a one afraid to try.
"You'll go swiftly to the Master, and that trail of smoke they'll see, Is the 'changing of the pilots,' for you're traveling on with me."
"You must leave this famous shuttle that you're sitting in, behind, For the one I built that's waiting, is pure gold and silver lined, As you search the fields of Texas in hopes to find them there, Rest assured they're here beside Me and I have them in My care."
"You have trained them well, America, I've observed your every test, I stood silently and waited, until you had the best. I needed them, America, for Heaven's Great Space Plan Encompasses the entire globe, The Universe of Man."
"I know them well, America, these loved ones you have lost, I selected them some time ago, forgetting not the cost. America, my heart is grieved, by your sorrow, tears and pain, and Though it's little comfort, your loss is Heaven's gain."
