Black Base Demo B - Black Under Red

 #black #base #layer #inkscape #demo 

This demo shows how black as a base layer under red plus filters works in comparision to not having an underlayer.

Even under a really "thick" materials filter like Cracked lava there's a clear difference!

Under a semi- transparent filter like Tartan the reds are intensified.

Try it for yourself with a variety of filters! 

Inktober Black Matte Demo

 Inktober Black Matte Demo

#inkscape #filter #demo #Matte

I've taken one oblong filled with black and applied five different filters to create matte effects. 

This time I'm not telling you which. I want you to experiment and practise. 

There will be a few more of these! 

Inktober and Black - Using a Black Base Layer with Blue

 #inktober #black #inkscape #demo 

More about Black  

Using A Black Base Layer with Blue 

Why use a black base layer ?

I started with black and blue squares and added 3 different texture filters to the blue squares using #Inkscape. I hope your browser allows you to see how the black base layer creates depth in the squares in the middle column?  I made duplicates of the blue texture squares and moved them over copies of the black squares. Of course you don't have to use squares or these texture filters but I hope this gives you ideas for your own work? You could also do further edits in Gimp or other programs.

More thoughts on Black and Inkscape

 #inkscape #black #inktober 

In this demo I show how starting with a Black or dark gray layer in Inkscape can change the layer above 

The left column is the base layer 

 middle column of squares is a blend 

right column a "purer" color

How powerful black is !

INktober - thoughts on Black

 #black #color #inktober 

ITs Inktober again so let us consider the role of black.

I'ld like  you to think about this old 19th German diagram not co sits OLD 

but cos its STILL RELEVANT.

Whoever created it thought about transitions and gradients from white to black and vice versa and how black darkens other colors.

Here's another example the power of black to change colors from one of my older Inkscape demos.

For each row I shifted the colors further toward black.

There will be more discussion and demos of black and Ink throughout this month .

Folks I just lost my job !

Combining shapes and Filters 

Copyright Julie Vaux 2020

Copyright Julie Vaux 2020

Another Inkscape Experiment with combining shapes

Three Objects Aligned into one 

Gold Splatter versus Gold Paste

Gold Paste and Gold Splatter are #Inkscape Materials filters

shape does not seem to make much difference however the more edges to the shape the more the edge of the filter changes ...

GOLD MATERIAL FILTERS

#gold #material #filters #inkscape 

base colors make a difference ! now if I can just figure out how to reduce the bumps ...

GOLD DUST SAMPLER

#gold #dust #sampler 

here's my experiment to try and get an effect like the gold sprinkles used in japanese makie lacquer 

I think what the base color is does make a significant difference however getting the texture not to look bumpy is still an issue and my next test will be applying some gimp effects to see if I can flatten those bumps without losing the metallic effects.

DARK SILK

DARK SILK

#inkscape #filter #demo #darksilk

There are few filters with names starting with the letter D so for this years ABC of Inkscape Filter Demos I decided on D for DARK

I have once again been contemplating the problem of how to have a dark background that is not dull.
Something to suggest dark skies or cloth or deep waters.
I make squares using the colors in the left and right columns
The percentages are of black to middle gray.
I duplicated the blue tones and moved those squares OVER the grays.

I'm going to try this again with greens ! Also maybe on a curved shape?

Let me know if this gives you any useful ideas?

CRACKED LAVA DEMO

#crackedlava #algerianfont #demo #inkscape #typography #inkscapefilters

Spread Some Jam

#inkscape #filter #demo #Jamspreadfilter

A lot of people are probably at home spreading jam on Sandwiches while self isolating

For some digital jam if you're amusing your self testing textures try these color and texture combos!

If you're worried about these being too transperent when you export them to png or jpg 

try starting with the color as a solid layer and then duplicating it and adding the texture filter to the top layer so you have a solid base?

INKSCAPE ABC - Bevels

#inkscape #bevels #demo

INKSCAPE ABC -B is for BEVEL

In keeping with the ABC theme here are 3 examples of Bevel Filters which have names starting with B.

Next time maybe these bevels applied to the letter B ? 

Inkscape Sunrise

#inkscape #sunrise

INKSCAPE SUNRISE

Start with a background layer by making a rectangle and filling it with a simple gradient  with only two stops. I raised the bottom as darker objects are going there

Now to create a sun using a yellow circle with NO stroke and then texture filters 

Next we need contrast some dark foreground hills and mountains all coming from one single vector object that can be altered using handles and filters so we have two main objects:

The foreground object was a rectangle. I used the Node tool to curve the upper part.

Here's all 3 together. I duplicated the foreground object three times and flipped one.

The 3rd duplicate was darkened. You can change colors tints and tones using the color wheel or the bar on the botttom of the screen and I also had its height reduced just using the handles.

So you have a simple image and  you can edit to add more details like clouds .

You can export the PNG files and edit in other programs.

If you don't want to right click here go to my Patreon - JVartndesign 

I will post the png files there for FREE today or tomorrow and then in the $1 tier include an example of a final edit in GIMP.
