| 00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Warli art for Textile design using Inkscape. |
| 00:07 | In this tutorial we will learn to create a Warli pattern design for borders, Repeat patterns using cloning |
| 00:17 | To record this tutorial, I am using
Ubuntu Linux 12.04 OS, Inkscape version 0.91 |
| 00:27 | Let us open Inkscape. First let us design the warli pattern. |
| 00:32 | Go to File. Click on Document Properties.
Change the Orientation to Landscape. Close the dialog box |
| 00:42 | Select the Rectangle tool. Draw a rectangle covering the whole canvas and color it blue. |
| 00:53 | Click on the Ellipse tool. Draw a circle outside the canvas.
Then, click on the Selector tool. |
| 01:02 | On the Tool controls bar, change the width and height to 15. |
| 01:08 | Change its color to orange. Move it to the bottom of the canvas as shown. |
| 01:15 | Press Ctrl + D to duplicate the circle. |
| 01:19 | On the Tool controls bar change the width and height to 7. |
| 01:25 | Move the duplicated circle to the bottom left of the original circle. |
| 01:31 | This is the head of the warli figure. |
| 01:34 | Next, Go to Object menu. Click on Symbols options.
Click on Symbol set drop-down menu. Select Flow Chart Shapes. |
| 01:46 | A list of geometrical shapes appears. Click on the triangle shape and drag it to the canvas.
Change the color to orange. And remove the Stroke. |
| 02:00 | On the Tool controls bar, change the width and height to 20. |
| 02:07 | Press Ctrl + D to duplicate the triangle. Press V to flip it. |
| 02:14 | Arrange the triangles below the head, as shown. |
| 02:21 | This is the body of the warli figure. |
| 02:24 | Select the Rectangle tool. And draw a line in between the head and the body. |
| 02:30 | Now the neck of the figure is drawn. |
| 02:33 | Next let us draw the hands and legs. For this, we will select the Bezier tool. |
| 02:41 | Draw hands and legs as demonstrated. |
| 02:47 | Select both the hands and legs. Using the Picker tool on the Fill and Stroke, pick the orange color from the body of the warli art. |
| 02:59 | Change the Stroke width to 2. |
| 03:02 | Now select all the elements and press Ctrl + G to group them all together. |
| 03:09 | Now the warli figure is ready. Let us now create a round pattern with this warli figure. |
| 03:17 | Let me make a copy of this figure and keep it to one side, before proceeding further. |
| 03:22 | Now select the original warli art. Now, click once more on the figure, to make the anchor point visible. |
| 03:30 | Click on the anchor point and move it down as demonstrated. |
| 03:36 | Now go to Edit. Click on Clone and then on Create Tiled Clones. |
| 03:42 | In the dialog box, under Symmetry tab, the option in the drop-down menu should be Simple translation. |
| 03:51 | Then go to Shift tab. Under Per column option, change the X value to -100. |
| 03:58 | Next go to Rotation tab. Change the Per row and Per column parameters of the angle to 30. |
| 04:07 | At the bottom, let the number of rows be 1. Change the number of columns to 12. |
| 04:14 | Then click on Create button. |
| 04:16 | Observe the round pattern that is created on the canvas. |
| 04:21 | Let us now try some other options. |
| 04:24 | Under Rotation tab Change the Per row and Per column parameters of the angle to 10.Click on Create. |
| 04:33 | Observe the created pattern on the canvas. To make it a complete round pattern change the number of Rows to 40. |
| 04:41 | Click on Create. Observe the changes on the canvas. |
| 04:46 | In such a way, you can change the Rotation parameters to get the patterns in different angles. |
| 04:53 | Select the round pattern and press Ctrl + G to group them all together. |
| 04:59 | We now have a lovely warli art on our canvas. |
| 05:04 | Let's move it to one side, like this. |
| 05:08 | Now, let's try some other options. |
| 05:11 | Next, using the Create Spirals tool, draw a fairly large spiral on the canvas, as shown. |
| 05:20 | Click on the Selector tool. Select the single warli figure and place it at the centre of the spiral, like this. |
| 05:27 | Now click on Raise to top option on the Tool Controls bar. |
| 05:32 | Then, select the spiral too. |
| 05:35 | Click on Extensions menu and choose Generate from path option. |
| 05:41 | In the sub-menu that appears, select Scatter. |
| 05:45 | A dialog box opens on the screen. Here, check the Follow path orientation checkbox. |
| 05:54 | In Space between copies, we will say 5. |
| 05:58 | Ensure that - Original pattern will be is set to Moved and Duplicate the pattern before deformation is also checked. |
| 06:08 | Click on Apply button and close the dialog box. |
| 06:12 | Let's move the spiral warli pattern aside a little to expose the spiral path. Now, select the spiral path and delete it. |
| 06:21 | This is how one can draw a beautiful spiral warli pattern in Inkscape. |
| 06:26 | Likewise, we can create many other lovely warli patterns. |
| 06:31 | Next, let us learn how to create a border. |
| 06:35 | Go to Object menu and click on Symbols. Click on the triangle shape and drag it to the canvas. |
| 06:42 | On the Tool controls bar, change the width and height to 30. |
| 06:47 | Now move the triangle to the top left of the canvas. |
| 06:52 | I want to create a row pattern using the triangle. |
| 06:56 | Go to Edit. Click on Clone and then on Create Tiled Clones. All the previous settings are visible here.. |
| 07:06 | In the Rotation tab, change the Angle parameter of Per Row and Per Column to 0. |
| 07:13 | In the Shift tab, under Per column option, change the X value to 0. |
| 07:19 | Lastly, change the Column to 35, at the bottom, as shown here. Then click on Create button. |
| 07:27 | Observe the row pattern that is created on the canvas. |
| 07:31 | Select all the triangles and press Ctrl + G to group them all together. |
| 07:37 | Press Ctrl + D to duplicate the triangle pattern. Press V to flip it. |
| 07:43 | Now move the pattern to the bottom of the canvas. |
| 07:48 | Our warli pattern is now ready. We can use this pattern as border in various textile design assignments. |
| 07:55 | This is how it looks on a kurti. |
| 07:58 | We can use this as a pillow cover design, also. |
| 08:02 | And this warli art looks great on a cloth bag, too. |
| 08:06 | So, in a similar way, you can create various textile patterns using the warli art form. |
| 08:13 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize. |
| 08:18 | In this tutorial we have learnt to create Warli pattern for textiles, patterns using cloning |
| 08:27 | Here is an assignment for you. Create a peacock pattern design |
| 08:33 | Your completed assignment should look like this. |
