One, in the following two lectures, we will work on practicing more with the Bezier tool.
And to this, I will import an image and draw over it and import.
Let's find a folder.
And this is a photo Freestore photo from our splash dot com, or I just link it, which means it will
be not part of the document.
It's a very easy way to import photos in the Inkscape.
It's huge, so I zoom out and then I scale it down a bit.
What do you do now?
OK, and we will not use this photo as a photo, we will draw over it, it doesn't make it less artsy,
is still your art.
You can draw over it with the pen to it.
So we will do what I was talking about a few lectures ago, like click, click, click, straight lines
to go around the edges to go around the drawing I could use instead of a photo, I could use a sketch
or a drawing, as I will in other from as I will in other lectures to now I just pick a point and I
start there.
I think I will start around the shoulders and the hand.
That's very familiar and of course very major part and of course around the face.
So I just plan my route around the face of this lady.
So one or two, like what I want to do is just click, click, click with the mouse.
So don't hold it.
Just click and release, click and release straight lines when we stop, then we can adjust the lines
and create curves out of them.
These type of drawings are very trendy now, if I may say so, you can create your own portraits about
yourself, about friends and families.
So this is what we try to achieve.
Now, I will make loopier.
And roll until the end of the and.
I'm taking a rest here.
Come back around here.
Make some loops here and there and I have to turn, so I try not to straightly backtracking the lines
I did.
This type of one line drawings work because.
You have to go and create looks, and I'm cheating a bit here on the top of the mug because I don't
know how to how to make it any cleaner, but it will look good.
And then let's color it to something different.
This red is more visible.
I can play and just for now, let's clean this part up here in the same method we used before, like
the two nodes and.
Delete the part between them.
And I continue the line here on the left even.
Just as you or I will decide it later.
That's what I like him better.
You don't have to decide on the spot, on the spot what you want to do.
Why?
Because you can go back and continue with the same line later on.
Just click on the end of the line with the pen tool or the no tool and it will work.
So I just went around the head here.
Coming up here on the shoulder.
And I will use this line to go and zoom in a bit and create the eyebrows and the eyes here, I can make
a good amount of Lupe's.
And go around here.
Nice.
Let's draw the nose.
I will make a loop here at the top of the nose to make to give you some structure and up here and roll
around the other eye.
Remember why we want to stop or take a break, just do just right click to let go of the line with the
pen tool and then continue by clicking on the end of the node.
OK, some very, very minor wrinkles she has.
And then I go back down here.
And I figured out how the lips are looking.
And I'm not sure about this one because so I just right click and let it go and, you know.
And I delete those last few parts of the line.
Now let's see where we are now.
Maybe this one I can pull.
Apart and you see just along this one.
Make a loop around here at the chain and use this opportunity to close the line there and go up there.
So this is what we have so far.
And in the next lecture, we continue.
