I decided to try to create more open source images- ie images made with software that is open source or free to use and obtain- I have downloaded copies of Blender 3d, Gimp, Inkscape, OpenToonz and Synfig Studio and Scribus. I have only really played around with OpenToonz, Synfig Studio and Scribus. I have spent the most time with Blender3d and have presented at seminars about the program, but still believe I am only a novice. Hopefully I will remedy that in 2018. But today’s illustration was completed using Inkscape. I initially was cheating by using a drawing completed in Sketchbook Pro from a photograph… I realized that some features are best laid as copies from the photograph itself- So I ended up using a photograph of a friend to create the image…. I have done similar images in the past with Adobe Illustrator. And I figured using an alternative to the program might give similar results…. There are a lot more images to create and utilize these programs to push the art- Here is looking up in 2018….
Just as a comparison:
Gimp Vs Photoshop
Inkscape Vs Adobe Illustrator
OpenToonz Vs Toonboom studio
Syfig Studio Vs Flash or Adobe AnimateCC
Scribus Vs Adobe Indesign or Microsoft Publisher
I can not rate comparisons, because the pro versions , linked above, have either been in the market longer or have followings that can’t be denied- I used most of them before, myself, and really like them- I am just trying to be cheap and small business budget demands small business expenses- who can beat free???
Note you can also get a download of these programs in links attached:
So Long live the Open source generation- or until my business explodes and my expense budget can warrant the more established software
