I only thought of the gradient effect later on and I wish I started with that,
then remove the line control,
so the smudge applys everywhere even inside the shapes.
now it looks weird,
still like it though
I have been able to learn a lot more about the world and history, especially black history across the diaspora.
Hear me out, I can understand why people in power in Zim would limit the amount of knowledge we get to control the narrative and keep up misinformed and biased.
However someone mentioned how we are living our own version of animal farm, but not exactly because yes we do have an idea of our colonization but we don’t have an in depth scope not even in-depth we barely tough the surface, that would give the ghost of the past weight. There is a way colonization and slavery is talked about like a passive time in history and not for the inhuman, gut wrenching thing it was. (This is not to say we should stay in the past)
Being were writing cookbooks on how to eat black people, the lynchings, the many fights, and how that slavery didn’t end because they thought it was wrong but because black people started to affect their business and boycotting which hurt their pockets.
I can understanding not teaching about the cannibalism nature but we barely touched anything about lynching or that even after slavery was abolished they were arresting black people for petty crimes to only enslave them.
There is so much about our own history we dont know but for my ZIMSEC exam i had to know mussolini’s political policies and african history was oh what tools did they use, WHAT?
So my question is why, is it intentional if so, it seems very lazy or could it be American politics playing a hand in not us knowing?
I went on omniglot and tried to download the excel file with no luck.
Is there an excel file with all the relevant data and rules of how the symbols interact better with each other?
Pronunciation of the symbols is it the same or not does it have some differences to?
I would like to engage with the community a lot more for a more selfish reason. I am learning to draw and how to apply color theory and would love to see how others apply their color and are very resourceful with the tools. i used the spray paint tool and did this amazing pink vitiligo visual, i loved it and i can only imagine how others are doing it more amazing things. Also learn how people are balancing colors (mine lowkey isn’t as harmonious)
So in hopes to garner more community building and learning from each other let’s have a show case of sorts.
we have an illustration and we all color it our own way, maybe later we can incorporate things like rules of color palettes, if that’s what people want but for now just one given illustration and we let people color in how they want, could even add details if they want but just to learn. No winner or anything just like how artists have do it in your style trend we are doing the same.
I was thinking we would post on twitter, instagram, Reddit or even discord, but we can work out the kinks later of how exactly we do it but just an idea for people to consider then we can finalize later.
What do you guys think?
