    Default book clipart

    Related to the bookdrawing thread, now that amitairos
    has completed his version of the book, I thought I'd post my own version
    based on the photo that was used. It taught me more about the blend tool.
    I've posted the .xar file if anyone wants to use it.
    Saludos,
    Bob.

    Whoa Bob!
    That's really nice! I think it looks nicer than the book I drew.
    I drew every line for the pages! I didn't use the blend tool- I tried but it didn't work. Can you please explain how you did it?
    Thanks!
    P.S. Where's the .xar file?

    .xar file added to my original post.
    Here's a brief description of the blending I did.
    Keep the same number of steps for each of the 3 page blends,
    or the lines won't match up.
    Saludos,
    Bob.

    Nice effective method Bob.

    I tried scaling it down to see if the print lines would merge into a block.
    I think the lines need more spacing.

    Hi Anas, I tried reducing the text line thickness from 1.15 to 0.25 pix,
    the result was very faint lines.
    Thanks everyone for your kind comments.
    Saludos,
    Bob.

    The lines turning into a blob, shouldn't happen if you turn on scale line widths.

    The only effect I notice when scaling down is a moiré type pattern
    on the text lines. No blocks or blobs here.
    Saludos,
    Bob.
