Portrait of a cat painted on a tablet using the Serious Paint Android app

Image
Here is a digital art of a cat(!) painted on an HP Touchpad running Android Jelly Bean using this nice free app - Serious Paint  and a cheap rubber tip stylus. The Serious Paint app looks similar to another Android app for painting - Infinite Painter but it is much more stable; Infinite Painter keeps crashing all the time to the point that you can't do anything worthwhile.

How to clip lines with a polygon using Inkscape

Image
In Inkscape , the Clip function can be used to clip one or more lines with a polygon. The trick is to group all the lines together before clipping as shown in the example below. In Inkscape , select all the vector lines using the Select and transform objects tool (F1) . Select Object | Group . The lines are grouped as one . Now select the polygon. Select Edit | Copy to make a copy of the polygon. Then select Edit | Paste in Place . The polygon is copied and pasted on top of the lines . Now press SHIFT and click to select the group of lines together with the polygon. The polygon and the group of lines are selected . Select Object | Clip | Set . The lines are nicely clipped to the polygon .
