Some great hair
This is a fairly simple image that is all about Inkscape’s ability to divide and conquer, visually speaking — making an easy task of taking a photographic image and separating it into distinct graphic components, then emphasizing those components. In this case, I made a video about it to share how I did it. Hope you enjoy it!

I’ll be checking out this vid when I get home from the lab- on a super old Mac and surprise surprise- no flash to view it with.
The outcome of the hair is really nice though- it would take ages to draw that out by hand.
Thanks, Debra! Make sure to let me know what you think. Like I said, the resolution was in a testing stage — the next vid will be better, promise. 🙂
Heh. I mistyped my own URL in that comment.
Yeah, I’m a little scared to know what’s at kittyload, but kittyloafdesigns rocks it.
I’ll definitely let you now what I think of it.
Haha Yeah, I’d be scared to click that link too! Especially while I’m at school- probably get myself thrown out of the lab!
i’d never knew these could be done in inkscape (removing facial features) i usually erase it inside gimp then upload in inskcape, i will most definitely try this out you showed me some new short cuts techniques that i will try
Cool! Personally, if i was not illustrating the technique, I might do the same thing. At the very least, to make it easier on myself, I might use a brush in the GIMP with the color of the face and just quickly blot out the features before importing and bitmap tracing in Inkscape. However, in this project I’ve tried to keep my entirr workflow inside of Inkscape, and have, with a few notable 3D exceptions. Thanks for your comment!
