How to draw by hand, then adjust the drawing and generate a png
I got tired of using computer tools for expressing my ideas as images. Instead, I started drawing on paper. But I always wanted to change the drawing a little bit. The challenge: I use Windows and I am not an expert on SVG graphics tools.
So below is the current workaround I use for getting my ideas on paper, and then on a .png file using simple and free tools (without being an expert)
- Draw by hand on paper
- Take a photo of the drawing
- Open the jpeg image on inkspace
- Path / trace bitmat
- Save as .png
- Open the .png on paint.net
- Crop image pieces
- Copy / paste the pieces on inkscape
- Rebuild the image
- Save as png
Below is an example (before and after).
Simple is good. This works for now.
