Filled Lines
Using the Freehand Line Draw tool
You can do REALLY cool stuff.
Like these little didities I just did.
Yup some are dings and the font is included
below.
I'll show you that in a minute. But for now,
Open an in image 300x300
click on the draw icon and freehand line.
Stroked and Filled- line width 1 and antialias checked
Pick the color you want for the outside line as
the top color
and the fill color the bottom color. As shown.
Doodle some flower pedals.
Nifty huh? :)
Now change the bottom color for the center.
make it any color you wish.
Here I added a stem and some leaves.
Also I clicked on all the red with the magic wand,
and gave it an inner bevel.
To use this is easy!
open a new image 300x300
Now click on the text icon and add some 'text'
I use Vector settings, that way I can resize them easily.
Convert to raster. The dings are now on their own layer.
Click on the bottom layer to make it active. Click on the paint brush,
size small (3-6) setting, Paint some color 'behind' the dings.
Fast and easy! You can even bevel the color.
And add a light shadow.
Merge visible layers when done.
Save them as tubes.
Quick and easy!
