1 #+title: Drawing 2 #+date: <2020-07-16 Thu> 3 4 I used to draw all the time when I was young. Since turning thirteen 5 or fourteen, I don't think I can recall a single time that I drew for 6 the sake of drawing. 7 8 Anyway, I decided the other day to get out the ol' pencil and paper, 9 and had a go at drawing again. 10 11 * Converting to svg 12 13 I've been inking my drawings using a black brush pen ([[https://www.pentel.com/collections/pentel-arts/products/pocket-brush-pen-with-2-black-refills][this one]] if I 14 recall correctly, not that it matters). Conveniently, this happens to 15 make converting them to a digital format incredibly simple. 16 17 I can simply take a picture on my cheapo $100 phone, upload it to my 18 laptop, and run the following command: 19 20 #+name: conversion 21 #+begin_src sh :exports both 22 convert -verbose img/dog-in.jpg img/dog-out.svg 23 #+end_src 24 25 #+RESULTS: conversion 26 : img/dog-in.jpg=>img/dog-out.svg PNM 1447x1115 1447x1115+0+0 8-bit sRGB 4.616MiB 0.060u 0:00.136 27 28 [[https://www.imagemagick.org/][ImageMagick]] somehow manages to spit out a perfectly adequate svg, 29 removing shadows and reflections appropriately. 30 31 | [[file:img/dog-in.jpg][Input]] | [[file:img/dog-out.svg][Output]] | 32 |---------------------------+----------------------| 33 | [[file:img/dog-in-thumb.jpg]] | [[file:img/dog-out.svg][file:img/dog-out.svg]] |
