|| '''Slide Number 1'''

'''Opening Slide'''
|| Welcome to this Spoken Tutorial on '''Portrait Colouring and Detailing '''using '''Inkscape'''.
|-
|| '''Slide Number 2 '''

'''Learning Objectives '''
|| In this tutorial we will,

* Draw shadows and light parts of the drawing using '''Bezier tool'''
* Fill color by''' '''picking an appropriate color from the reference image
|-
|| '''Slide Number 3'''

'''Learning Objectives '''
||
* Use '''Paste In Place''' to duplicate the drawing exactly over the original
* Create an outline for the entire illustration using '''Combine''' and '''Outset'''

|-
|| '''Slide Number 4'''

'''System Requirements'''
|| To record this tutorial, I am using
* '''Mac '''OS version 10.14.6
* '''Inkscape '''version 1.2.2

|-
|| '''Slide Number 5'''

'''Prerequisites'''

'''http://spoken-tutorial.org'''
|| To understand this tutorial, the learner requires a good command of Inkscape tools.

For the prerequisite tutorials on Inkscape

please visit this website.

|-
|| '''Slide Number 6'''

'''Code Files '''
|| The '''SVG''' file used in this tutorial is provided in the '''Code Files''' link.

Please download and extract the file.

Make a copy and then use it while practising.
|-
|| Open '''Inkscape'''
|| I have opened the '''Creating Vector Portrait Illustration.svg''' file.

This is the same file used in the previous tutorial.
|-
|| '''Canvas''' >> Select the drawn shape of the lips >>

Select '''Pick colors from image''' tool >> '''Canvas'''
|| Go to the '''Canvas'''.

Select the drawn shape of the lips.

Go to '''Fill and Stroke window '''

and click on '''Pick colors from image''' tool icon.

Pick colors from the lips of the duplicated reference image.

And fill it into the drawn shape of the lips.

Similarly, Select the each drawn shape individually.

Let us fill the color by picking color from the duplicated reference image.

|-
|| Point to the reference image.
|| Zoom in the canvas for accuracy while picking and filling colors.

If you find the colors from the reference image dull, select fresh colors from the palette.

You can find the palette at the bottom of the screen.

Choosing fresh colors will elevate the drawing and also add vibrancy to it.

|-
|| '''Canvas''' >> '''Bezier tool'''.

'''Toolbar''' >> Select '''Pick colors from image''' tool

>> '''Canvas>> Fill and Stroke

>>Opacity'''
|| Select the entire drawing and reduce the Opacity.

Draw the shadows and highlights using the''' Bezier tool''' on the respective layers.

To draw shadows, focus on the darker areas of the reference image.

And to draw highlights, emphasize the lighter parts.

Shadows add depth to the drawing.

Highlights give a realistic look to it.

This helps in enhancing the drawing.

Click on '''Pick colors from image''' icon

and fill colors in the drawn shapes as shown'''.'''

Please change the opacity value to 100 after completing the drawing.

>>''' Edit ''' >> Click on '''Cut'''

>>''' Edit''' >> Click on '''Paste In Place '''

|| Click on '''Combine''' in the '''Path''' menu.

Then, choose '''Cut''' from the '''Edit '''menu.

Go to the '''Layers panel '''and create a new layer named '''Outline.'''

Go to '''Edit '''and''' '''click on '''Paste In Place. '''

|-
|| '''Layers panel>> Toobar'''>>

''' Canvas'''>>''' Layers panel'''
|| Go to the '''Layers panel. '''

Let us create a new layer and name it as '''‘Background’.'''

We are in '''Synfig'''.

|-
| style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:0.5pt solid #000001;border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000001;border-left:0.5pt solid #000001;border-right:none;padding-top:0in;padding-bottom:0in;padding-left:0.0375in;padding-right:0.075in;"| Open '''Synfig-character '''file

| style="background-color:#ffffff;border:0.5pt solid #000001;padding-top:0in;padding-bottom:0in;padding-left:0.0375in;padding-right:0.0382in;"| Ensure that all parts of the body are in different layers.

Now we will learn to rig the upper part of the body with fixed joints using the '''Skeleton'''.

|-
| style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:0.5pt solid #000001;border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000001;border-left:0.5pt solid #000001;border-right:none;padding-top:0in;padding-bottom:0in;padding-left:0.0375in;padding-right:0.075in;"| '''Layers panel'''

For e.g.-

Left hand should be made up of Left upper arm, Left lower arm and Left palm.

So we need to group these three layers and name it as '''L-hand'''.

|-
| style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:0.5pt solid #000001;border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000001;border-left:0.5pt solid #000001;border-right:none;padding-top:0in;padding-bottom:0in;padding-left:0.0375in;padding-right:0.075in;"|

Name the '''group layers''' as '''L-hand''', '''R-hand,''' '''Head''',''' Neck''', and '''Trunk''', as shown here.

|-
| style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:0.5pt solid #000001;border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000001;border-left:0.5pt solid #000001;border-right:none;padding-top:0in;padding-bottom:0in;padding-left:0.0375in;padding-right:0.075in;"| Go to '''File >> Save As'''

Then click on the '''Save''' button.

Make one more group of all these grouped '''layers''' and name it as '''Character'''.

|-
| style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:0.5pt solid #000001;border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000001;border-left:0.5pt solid #000001;border-right:none;padding-top:0in;padding-bottom:0in;padding-left:0.0375in;padding-right:0.075in;"| '''Layer panel''' >> Right click on top layer >'''> New layer''' >> '''Other '''>>'''Skeleton>>canvas'''

Right-click on the top layer of the '''Character layer.'''

Go to '''New layer''', then '''Other''' and click on '''Skeleton.'''

We get one '''bone''' on the''' canvas'''.

|-
| style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:0.5pt solid #000001;border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000001;border-left:0.5pt solid #000001;border-right:none;padding-top:0in;padding-bottom:0in;padding-left:0.0375in;padding-right:0.075in;"| '''Transform tool>> canvas'''

Hold and drag the mouse and move the bone''' '''

to the '''Trunk''' part of the character.

Now place the '''bone''' as demonstrated.

Next, use the '''orange''' dot of the '''bone '''to adjust the length of the '''bone'''.

|-
| style="background-color:#ffffff;border-top:0.5pt solid #000001;border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000001;border-left:0.5pt solid #000001;border-right:none;padding-top:0in;padding-bottom:0in;padding-left:0.0375in;padding-right:0.075in;"| '''Canvas>> Create child bone'''

| style="background-color:#ffffff;border:0.5pt solid #000001;padding-top:0in;padding-bottom:0in;padding-left:0.0375in;padding-right:0.0382in;"| Adjust the length of the '''child bone''' in the upper part of the '''Trunk, '''as explained earlier.

|-

Now the '''Skeleton layer''' is placed inside the body.

Next, we will attach the bones to the each part of the body.

|-
