vga256has anyone ever come across a video documentary about CorelDraw! and the Corel corporation? it's eluding me on web/yt searches, and *someone* must have done a deep dive on this by now?
Blind Mapmaker@vga256 Ah, that brings back memories. I still keep using the 2021 version, but I never really got into it as a teen. It's a great programme, but like all vector stuff it needs quite some effort to produce something worthwhile.
@blind_mapmaker yes. i can say 100% that as a kid, it was intimidating to build vector art with. i ended up becoming a raster/photoshop user for that reason
@vga256
It totally get that. It was a monster back than and didn't run very smoothly either.
I find that as I'm somebody with very little artistic ability it helps me a lot to make visually pleasing comic-style stuff. Never really managed to draw with mouse or tablet and the real-life pencil and brush stuff I did was strictly grade-school level. Corel draw adds a layer of numbers that I can grasp far better than raster stuff.
@blind_mapmaker totally agree. i returned to vector art later in life, and *really* learned to appreciate how flexible and user-friendly it was to work with shapes
