Let's continue with the tale of the little cat.
I could just click here on the end.
And banded nicely.
As I always said, creepy dynamic.
I control the notes here on the end.
Double here, I think to add another node, you will see in a second how it works out.
See, I'm constantly experimenting and you will do the same.
In the meantime, get used to it and create dynamic little line of drawings with less notes.
So what the read, after all, here on the top, because I need that to follow the curve.
And now I want to do the same here.
Double click there, pull it in and fix that curve here with these handle.
You see, I can create the same exact line as I was drawing by hand, and if it's not the same, it's
because I decided so you should do the same.
So your sketch, your drawing is not set in stone.
You can always draw it in digital.
That's why you digitize it.
OK, the tale is nice.
I really like the shape of this little cat is a cartoon character.
I was drawing these little lines here to add some movement to it.
So I duplicate the tail with control.
These add some extra node's.
Delete the nodes I don't need here on this one on the end.
This one as well.
So I use this path.
As a part of the original tale part, I did use it to create this little band.
I can still shape it if I want, or I could draw it with a few clicks from scratch, but I like that
I can duplicate what I created before with this one.
This is so tiny.
I just click and click and bend it a bit for good measure.
OK, now let's see what we can do with the hand and the luggage.
The luggage is just a few clicks because the basic shape of it is a square.
So control click here on the end.
Here as well.
Here as well, and I figure the shape you see when the handles are horizontal and vertical, then the
line is vertical.
Nicely here, I just double click and add the node and pull the node up to create the horizontal part
of the luggage.
And control, click here and fix this part on the top and on the side as well.
As you see, I'm constantly zooming in and out using the mouse wheel, so whole control zoom in and
out with rolling the mouse up and down.
This is what I always do because I want to check what is happening on the big scale.
I pull this one down and I do the same on the left side.
So Noad up and pull the path down a bit to create this nice curve at the handle.
Now, I can continue this line.
If I select this little note here.
You see it here by the Bantul, I can just continue it and it's the same I this time.
And I do the same on the right side.
Click here, throw it to the hand bandit covid.
And play the Henders a bit to keep this nice girl.
Now, again, I click here to continue my line and click here until here to make this part of the handle.
I control that node.
Good, now draw this little shape.
And the thumb.
And he says, well, I could throw the whole hand in one, but why bother when the lines, the path
are touching each other so nicely?
That's why I didn't finish the part here as well.
Uh, and the handle, because it's covered by the line coming from the hand.
Just a few clicks here to finish off the first.
I put these two parts of the path down, controlling the node in the middle and make the path a bit
bendy.
There is one tiny line missing here only.
You see this part of the trouser behind, and again, I'm fixing that no line is out of the path.
OK, now I just have a few tiny lines and whiskers.
I will keep my.
Uh, signature, you don't need to draw that.
I mean, if it's your original drawing, please include your signature for me is just for you helping
you to learn this process.
So I will not bother with that now.
I just wrote the little band and duplicated it with Conradi.
And then I showed it to this one duplicate again and rotated here.
And you see, I'm not following the lines so tight down there.
Here, I want to have a line which is very parallel with the chest, like he is breathing in and, you
know, he's at ease.
Here as well, I want to curve, which is loosely following the edge of the years.
And it's time to draw the whiskers.
I just create one band, it'll be.
And they duplicated, controlled and rotated by holding shift, a shift in rotation, it will rotate
around one corner again duplicated.
Rotating it.
Match one and.
To the drawing and the need to know that if it's longer than it's needed.
Or just grabbed an ordinary resize it.
Here is what I want to make different, I make it again to make it a bit more curved, duplicated,
rotated.
And again, duplicated, rotated.
And this one is a bit longer, so I pull it up a bit.
But I like it that they are not all the same.
So I like to put some life into the drawings, making it longer here, shorter there, so it's not repeated.
I repeat it and they duplicate my elements, but I making them a bit more random.
OK, and I pulled this aside, so the original is here on the left, and you can see that our drawing
is coming together perfectly.
Let's select all of the elements and make their lines at 100 percent capacity so they are not transparent.
And click on this dark color shift, click on this dark color to make the lines look like the original
with control.
I group them up.
So they are now one group.
Or you could right click the selected elements and select group to group them up.
If I move it here, you can see it is resembling the original perfectly.
Of course, the digital lines are much cleaner, but still also we kept a dynamic as the original Felty
drawing without these little ragged edges, it's much cleaner but still dynamic.
That was my original goal.
I hope you enjoyed drawing this hour feeling like a street glam gambler.
OK, which one is the original?
Which one is the digital?
So I want to show you why we were digitizing it, because with one click I can make it read with another
click.
I can make the lines thicker.
I can take it apart, I can make parts grow or shrink, I can pick another color, and that's the idea
behind digitizing a drawing with Inkscape.
I take the time to draw over this little part.
If I pick lines this thick, I can even place or delete some elements, move some elements to keep these
gaps.
And you can do that, too, and feel free to do that recolour reshape your drawings, because this was
the goal all along, you have full, total control over the lines.
You create congratulation.
You just digitize your artwork.
