Tools I Used
Camera and Inkscape.
Samples I Used
I used a photograph, taken by a friend, with permission.
Original Samples
All vectorised objects, colours and gradients.
Process
My recipe is as follows:
1. Import the photograph: drag and drop the file into the Inkscape window from file explorer.
2. Trace it using the freehand tool.
3. Simplify by editing (and deleting) nodes.
4. Create the gradients by picking colours from the photograph.
5. Add a slight blur, it hides a multitude of sins!
Other Notes
I hope people can use this work to create their own virtual flower arrangements.
