Vector Art Noveau.


This was drawn in Inkscape using the spiro function instead of the bezier function. The spiro functions make smoother curves simpler to draw. The flourishes in this drawing were created by adding interesting curves together and mirroring the results to produce the four corners.
The colours used help produce the retro feeling of the image. A white hilight was added to the gold portions of the image. These hilights were created by making a copy, changing the fill to white and the stroke off, adding a dynamic offset to reduce the width, and adding a blur. I still need more practice to consistantly produce this style, but it is a fun style to play in.
