Village University:
Resources

We've been progressing through this class fairly well. Once we get to the base pattern, much of the rest is a personal interpretation. We're basically just cleaning up the base pattern and making decisions about what remains and what needs to be removed. This can be intimidating, especially if you are new to the process. So, I put together a 3 part video series as I work the portrait from the base pattern to the finished pattern. Sometimes watching someone else work makes it easier and you can pick up a lot of additional tips. I've posted these bonus videos below. You can also download my project file by clicking here. The file is a zipped file of about 5.2 megs. Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy the show!      

Here are a few downloadable resources you may find helpful.  Many of the downloads are also available in the individual lessons. Links to the lessons have been provided where available.  More information on how to use these downloads is explained in the appropriate lesson. This resource is a centralized location for all downloads and handouts.   Class Materials Lesson:  The Base Pattern Here is the GIMP file used to illustrate how layers work.  View lesson for more information. layers_tut.xcf   Bonus Video - Full Demo Sometimes it's nice to see the actual project.  Here is my GIMP project as demonstrated in the bonus videos.  Unzip and open with GIMP to see how I put together my project WilliamShatner.zip     Software New versions of GIMP have been releases since the recording of these classes.  While the concepts and tools remain the same, the new software may look a bit different than what I have on my screen.  If you want the same version I used, I have provided that below.   GIMP 2.6 for Windows gimp-2.6.7-i686-setup.exe
