![]() To the right of the square are three bars. The third bar in v3.05Plus is used to select the density/ of the color you choose. These are used for adjusting the radius/pixel of your tool. Beneath this square are bars (two in v1.1 and three in v3.05Plus). This is basically where you can see the size of the tool you select. In the BrushWindow, you will notice a square to the right of the tools. The ColorPalette should be fairly self-explanatory. There are others, but it is not my intention to go over everything piecemeal in this briefing. Version 3.05Plus also includes various selection tools (such as the lasso tool) that allow you to section off an area and then apply a function JUST to that area, a text tool, a crop tool and a fill tool (looks like a bucket and allows you to fill an area with color). The ToolBox contains other tools like Zoom In/Out, a color selector tool (this is a tool which allows you to match colors and looks like an eyedropper), tools that allow you to move or angle your canvas and a tool that allows you to move your image. In order to use ANY of these tools, you need to click on the Pencil in your ToolBox. Version 3.05Plus also includes an Airbrush tool, Dodge and Burn tools and a Smudge tool. There is also a PreviewWindow, but as a matter of taste, I seldom use it.īriefly, the BrushWindow includes a Pen/Pencil tool, a Brush tool, a Blur tool (looks like a water drop) and an Eraser tool. For our purposes here, I used only two layers and when I added the second one (click on ‘Layer’ next to ‘Edit’ in your LayerWindow), I used the Multiple/Multiply Mode. Personally, since I usually draw portraits as opposed to detailed pictures, I use the LayerWindow less than others might and so will not be discussing them in much detail. These are the ones that will get you started and it is quite possible to create good artwork with just these and use nothing additional. These are the ToolBox, ColorPalette, LayerWindow and BrushWindow. Opencanvas 1.1 guide windows#To begin with, one must first be familiar with some basic windows that will be used when drawing. OpenCanvas is relatively simple to use and just requires practice and a lot of experimenting. ![]() ![]() With this in mind, I am including some additional details of the Program here with the hope that it will be useful to someone. The text accompanying each step in the above progression presumes that a user/beginner will have some very basic knowledge of the Program-not that s/he is necessarily versed in it, but that they have read the Help Guide that is part of it (v1.1 Help is bad, but v 3.05 is MUCH more elaborate) and have a basic familiarity of the terminology. Progressing from there, I decided to add these additional details that elaborate more on the digital program, OpenCanvas (from Versions 1.1 and 3.05Plus). Opencanvas 1.1 guide how to#The pictorial text is not intended to give exact instructions how to do things, but more to explain some of the steps I took. After doing so, it occurred to me that there might be some value in including some text to explain each step in brief. I put some of them together, thinking that it might be interesting to some to see the progression of the picture. I was going through some of my files and came across some I had saved whilst creating my deviation called “Oh Baby”. Also please note that the pictorial text in Step 6 should have the phrase "I add highlights" after the word 'white in the 2nd sentence. ![]() EDIT: If your resolution foregoes your being able to read the text accompanying the pictorial, please see the 2nd Addendum at the bottom.
