What do we have here then? This is the site of Karl Toon, a fictitious character but who is actually me. Or am I him? I can never remember. Anyway, we, I, created this blog to be a bit of everything to do with cartooning, animation, drawing, and art in general, whatever takes my fancy at any particular moment. Take a peek. You may find something you enjoy. I try to make it as original and useful as I can. Do come back and visit often. Thanks for visiting.

Headless
I've never used Paint 3D that comes with Windows 10 before today. Loaded up a picture and just had to use the Magic Select function to see what happened. Think I lost my head!
Ahead
1st attempt at going totally solo in Inkscape. Not brilliant, but maybe a budding computer artist. Be interesting to see where I get to with this.
Geometric Aztec Pattern
Still using the tutorials mentioned in the previous post, this is not my design, but rather the result of following the tutorial. I must say that I sort of like the result. Link to tutorial.
My first attempt using Inkscape

So, this is my first attempt at using the Inkscape vector graphics editor, following a free online tutorial found at envatotuts+, in Aaron Nieze's tutorial: Use Inkscape to Create a Pair of Sunglasses With Ease.
This was a great introduction to the Inkscape package for me, although I think the tutorial was for an earlier version of the program as I had to think laterally in parts. A good learning curve, with my learning as much from my mistakes as from the tutorial itself. The main problem I had was in getting to grips with the linear gradients as they were different to his examples. Still, I mostly got there in the end, with the slight mistake of putting the lenses on back to front. Hopefully will soon get to grips with the Inkscape.
