Ayano v0.7
The path stroking went pretty well, although the uniformity of it is a bit off-putting at first. However, for cell-shaded pictures, it’s not as big a deal. I also began using some vector masks as per solwyvern’s tutorials, with limited success. This is how Ayano is doing at the moment.
The method of using vector masks is a bit clunky to me right now. It’s basically shading in the whole area with a color, then cutting out the areas you want. However, when I have adjacent or overlapping areas, I am not completely sure what to do. It also takes a long time to do the base colors this way. I think it will be great for shading and highlighting, but for base colors it’s not that great so far.
