🐧 I wrote a new blog entry listing all the changes I made to turn the Lenovo Yoga 370 into my mobile GNU/Linux digital painting device. It's long because it contains detailed instructions for beginners. I hope it is helpful.
Created this after reading conversation in comments below some tech article somewhere. Someone mentioned "surfing the #internet sewer" and I really liked that phrase.
I just posted a new video with my solutions for mobile digital painting on GNU/Linux! It's not sponsored, about a refurbished 5 y/o hardware, and relatively low budget. 🙂
The more I've strayed from GIMP, the more bizarre I find it to operate whenever I do hop back to do some kind of photo manip. I've jumped to Krita for illustrations, but there's some things GIMP is better at. It's still weird, and I wonder how the heck I put up with it before Krita came along.
Texture Artists! How would you go about turning this photo I took into an evenly lit texture? It doesn't need to be tileable.
I know I can stretch it to be nice and straight, but then, how could I make the light more even? Is that even possible?
I know there are plenty of good (and probably free) wood textures, but for my project, I want everything to be handmade from scratch. I want to try at least. Either procedural, or from a photo like this.
