Working with Source Images in Studio

Let's
make a few marks selecting different colors in the palette:
A few
more things worth noticing: in Studio Artist, the range of
colors available in the color palette window extends beyond
the edges of the palette itself. If one clicks and drags beyond
an edge, the color will continue to shift in relation to the
position the cursor is at, even well beyond the (visible)
palette edges.
Also,
it is possible to select a color on the fly right off the
canvas image itself, simply by pressing the "c"
key and mousing down (just like a color picker in so many
other graphics applications).
Finally,
one can modify the brush/tool stroke width by pressing the
"b" key and mousing down on the canvas, setting
a new stroke width size by dragging horizontally:

10 images that were made by using the same Source Images presented
above, with a few side trips into "Source Color" and
stroke width size setting: |

I hope this brief look at
a few of the ways with which we can enter Studio Artist will be of
help to some of you. This concludes the presentation of a very simple
process, but one that can really help us begin to make the most of
this amazing tool. Now, imagine approaching this work by also adding
layers, and then entering animation, the "time" dimension!
I am preparing another tutorial, this time on "Morphing in Studio
Artist," a far more complex process, but a very rewarding one! |
