Blue Gouache effect

I've been busy with a BIG project but to inspire you while I finish that here's a digital doodle!

I drew freeform with the pencil line tool in #inkscape and then added a color fill and gradient of ultramarine blue and then added the gouache filter.

The result actually look more like wet into wet watercolor on a heavy cold pressed paper but I'm thinking my little test might give people ideas for their own digital painting? 

Try this combo for your work and let me know if it works for you?

Play with your letters

This is another just for fun post!

Or if you teach typography you might enjoy using this to test your first years ?

Can you name all the fonts and filters used? 

which letters are deliberately and slightly out of alignment?

Which had their nodes and paths tweaked to change the letter forms and where ?

Inkscape Now Does Metallic

Inkscape's latest version includes filters for metallic SFX.

I've tested it for you ! Now go have fun playing with this yourself!
