hot air balloon - (Work In Progress)

by ryanlerch - uploaded on October 1, 2006, 8:12 pm

this image is a work in progress, please do not rate yet... comments are welcome. Im experimenting with developing an image and showing my process at the same time by uploading incremental images...



I am using InkScape to edit my svg's



Third Increment

i scrapped the shading of the prevoious step, and tried to bevel the edges of a section of the balloon. The only way i could think of doing this is by putting incrementally lower opacity lines parrell to the join. PLEASE HELP! is there any way of setting a gradient to a path in inkscape??





Second Increment

Changed the colours of the segements and started shading them



First Increment

Here i simply outlined the sections of the ballon.



Initial Image:

I got this image from the StockExchange. http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=224291



any suggestions/comments/ideas would be appriciated...



thanks!



P.S, i will move this how i did it to the how i did it section when im fully finished...
