@Jannette Nieuwboer Hopefully you are ok to continue now. For those who might wonder, we did some troubleshooting through email so as not to overload this thread.
@Jacques That is great. I think you are a little ahead with the holes in the shape, but that is a great exercise. Was the first try with white fill or just showing the outline only? Don't worry if you have just the outline when you save it, when you use it, you can always use any fill you want.
@Sue ThomasI see so many great tags that you are creating. You will never run out of ideas for tags at this rate!
@gwen jewittWhat version of PSP are you using? Starting with version 2018, there is a way to get larger nodes. Check this article.
@Gerry LandrethYou should be able to catch up even if you have to slow down for storms. The lessons are short so it should be easy. You are starting well with those shapes.
@Susan EwartYes, those shapes with multiple components can look odd when they show an outline. That is one thing that PSP does not do: merge shapes into a single one (something Affinity does much better). That maple leaf is really great! And it looks like you had fun with other shapes too!
@Donna SilliaYou did what you had to do. Creating a preset is a skill in itself. Handling those nodes need practice. After that, it is up to you how you will use it, and since they are vector, you can always tweak them too.
@Mary Solaas Take good care of yourself. That heart shape can also become a frame for other bleeding heart photos!
Now, calling for all the silent registrants. Don't be shy! And if you are stuck, don't hesitate to ask questions. We are all here to help you.
Lesson 3
I have always wanted to accomplish the maple leaf in the downloaded supplies. This time around I think I did better. The other two I found at freepik I believe and thought they looked interesting. I did export them all. I wonder why I forget all about making shapes and exporting them after the workshop is over. I added a very small outline so they'd stand out better.
Sending you hugs and hoping for your health issues to resolve quickly. You have a great start to your bleeding heart. I can't wait to see it finished. Take care.
you all are doing great. I've had a few health issues this week and am due at the doctor's tomorrow. I have only done half of the 1st day. I will show you what I am planning to accomplish with this workshop. The photo of the bleeding heart flowers is my aim. I am working on a single bleeding heart flower that I will use as a png picture in various sizes on a branch (as in the photograph). the photo is Image by Jürgen from Pixabay. the heart is my first stage, I plan on using the other days to add to the heart until I achieve what I am aiming for. I did not do the arrow this time as in the labs I have made several arrows as well as the last workshop.
