My LBT fan art

[LittlefootMember Topics Started: 7Total Posts: 62]

I just did my first LBT fan art!! I whipped up the bad Littlefoot drawing using Inkscape and GIMP over the last two days. Tells you how bad I am at drawing. I couldn’t imagine how badly it would’ve turned out if I’d done this by hand!

EDIT: You have to click on the image in order to see the whole thing.

That’s better than I was able to get with Microsoft Paint.

Yeah I started to do it with MS Paint, but I decided that I needed to use something better, so I downloaded Inkscape (it’s a free program a lot like Adobe Illustrator). It had a bit of a learning curve, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. GIMP is also free, and it’s a lot like Photoshop. I basically used Inkscape to draw the lines and GIMP to color them in.

I’ll have to get it. (I have Photoshop but don’t quite know how to use it.)

I’ll be getting a Creative Cloud subscription soon (which would give me Photoshop, Illustrator, and others). But for now, I’ve got GIMP and Inkscape. I basically just used the bucket-fill tool in GIMP to color Littlefoot in (and to create some subtle lines so that the right colors would go into the right areas), and I drew most of the lines with Inkscape.

Now I’ve got one of Ducky that’s better, except I botched her left leg.

Still better than what I could probably do.

I’ve made two more LBT drawings, both of Littlefoot (and while they aren’t terrific, they are better than my previous Littlefoot)
