A girl’s face made out of lines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This one was a revelation for me. Perhaps not the best application of this tool, but it was a lot of fun to play with. I just started reading about Inkscape<\/a>‘s Stitch Sub Paths<\/em> Live Path Effect in Kirsanov’s The Book of Inkscape<\/a> and found that it was great for lining long planes with manipulable parallel paths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my painting classes, I learned that it’s important to sculpt\u00a0your subject with your brush to help your viewer see the way that a plane is going through space. This is a simplified way of doing just that. Very fun too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you can excuse the primitivism of this experiment, but I plan to develop my skills with it in the new year. Speaking of which, I hope you all have a great 2010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
