While browsing through the web and converstating with others, a lot of interesting sites and resources are given and found, and every week I’m going to share some of my findings to you. Well, I try to do it weekly, but sometimes I’m on a holiday trip and not able to post or find something interesting. The first Item of the Week is the harmony sketchtool, which is an online basis sketchtool. It has a wonderful feeling and I’m showing you just the basics today.
Harmony Sketchtool
The harmony sketchtool is an very simple online sketchtool which means that you do not have to download anything. It has several brushes, but pity enough no eraser (there is a clear button though which clears everything in a single click). The background and brush color can be set up, and you can save your image. When saving the image will be exported to .png and will appear in a new browser window.
But why is it so cool to be the item of the week? Well, there is two things:
- The brushes are awesome, the sketch brush is real sketchy and the coolest thing is that when using some of brushes, brushing lines close to each other will connect these lines in a ‘webby’ or ‘hairy’ way. Awesome!
- Some are also speedsensitive which means the brushes turn larger and smaller when brushing with a faster speed (try the square brushes).
Let’s continue to some quick examples.
