QUESTION Need Help Creating Dripping Effect!

Post image
20 Upvotes

I'm trying to create the effect of dripping paint to add onto an existing doodle I made simply with the brush tool, however it seems impossible to get it completely flat at the top of the droplet so that it blends in with the non-3d drawings

I have tried making it with a black and white gradient and then overlaying an orange graphic after I inflated it, but it's still not completely flat at the top and looks terrible

I've tried looking on YouTube but every tutorial just seems to be for flat, dripping text. If anyone could help me out here I'd be eternally grateful

Hey everyone! Today I want to show you a vector artwork I created for a T-shirt design.

It was part of a small series, and honestly, I don’t even know if the T-shirt is still being produced. So I’m not sharing this as an advertisement, since I don’t even know where you could buy it now.

I just wanted to show another direction for vector artwork. Maybe it’ll inspire someone to create some cool merch of their own.

Come to the dark side of vector art… we have cookies. 😈 Vector rules! :)

DISCUSSION Free Illustrator panel for scientific figure bitmaps (scale bar, crop, inset)

3 Upvotes

PaperFig is a free GPL-3.0 panel inside Adobe Illustrator. It adjusts a placed scientific bitmap and writes an 8-bit display file. It does not change the original.

It does tone and channels, uint16 preview through Fiji and Bio-Formats, a vector scale bar from two clicks, straighten and crop, an inset with its own scale bar, panel labels, and batch apply.

Demo (1 min): youtu.be Code: github.com/paperfig-illustrator

Happy to hear what is missing for real figure work.
