Map Creation - GIMP

I tried my hand at creating a map in GIMP. I followed a six step tutorial from The Coffee Bean GM. Here is his playlist if you want to try your hand at map making. Here are my creations after finishing each video.

Land and water creation

Added texture

Some lighting on the map

Land features added

Land features coloured in

Final creation with added rivers, roads, locations, and other features.

This was a fun project. I hope you take the time and make something of your own. It will get you familiar with GIMP and will get your creative juices flowing.

Have a good one. Peace.

Even more Inkscape work

I have been following tutorials to create different shapes and logos. I have been having fun learning how to use Inkscape. Here are some of the creations I’ve made.

A logo idea I’m contemplating using

3D Cube Crosses

2D Flower

Impossible square

I have created quite a few more designs. If you want to see when I post new stuff, please follow me on Instagram. The link to my account is right here. I’m on there quite often.

Thanks for your time reading this post. If you haven’t please like, comment, and subscribe.

Have a good one. Peace.

More Inkscape work

Here is some more work I did in Inkscape. I am having fun creating new work. I hope you like them.

Abstract cube

Pie chart

Logo idea

I am going to work on the logo a bit more. It was suggested to try a different style font and not to bite into the other letters. I got the idea following a tutorial on the Logos By Nick YouTube channel. I liked the idea and tried it out.

I hope you enjoyed the work. Please like, comment, and subscribe if you haven’t. I am going to cut down on my social media footprint in the next few weeks. I am not sure what I am going to delete but I know Facebook is for sure going to be deactivated. Instagram will be the last to be deleted. I am going to focus on this medium and YouTube. Once I decide to make the call on deleting everything, I will let everyone know.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the content. I will talk to you later. Peace.

Free Resource - Inkscape

With this blog, I want to share free resources for those who can not afford expensive software like Adobe Creative Cloud so I will share free resources and my favorite tutorial channel(s) from YouTube to help you out. Today, I am going to briefly discuss Inkscape.

I started using it recently and I’m learning something new every time I use it. It is the free equivalent to Adobe Illustrator. Here are some examples of what I created in Inkscape.

Camera lens

Celtic knot

Snowflake

I created all of these following tutorials by Logos by Nick. His tutorials are easy to follow. You should give it a try and see what you can create.

I am going through his Logos by Nick Academy where I am learning Inkscape, GIMP, Logo Design Academy, and How To Get Hired On Upwork (create logos for companies). I am working on a side hustle by learning logos, brands, and how to create them.

I hope you give Inkscape a try. Let me know in the comments if you have tried Inkscape, are using Inkscape, or any other vector graphics software.

Thanks and have a good one. Peace.

New stuff

I’m trying my hand at creating logos in Inkscape and GIMP. Here is what I have created so far. I’m going to learn more techniques and post what I create here.

I have been following tutorials on YouTube from Logos By Nick. They are easy tutorials to follow. If you are interested in learning Inkscape and GIMP, you should give his channel a look.

I hope you like these I have created. Please like, comment, and subscribe if you haven’t. It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Peace.
