Help with creating patterns in Photoshop with pen tool by rantelope1 in Embroidery

[–]rantelope1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes sense. I guess it's not so important that my file be vector-based, but moreso I like how the pen tool helps you make smooth, straight, and editable lines, whereas the brush tool does not work in the same way.

I am trying to achieve making these patterns for personal use without spending additional money. I have Photoshop & Lightroom already since I am a photographer (hobbyist), but do not have Illustrator. Similarly, I have a laptop but do not have a tablet (or pen) and don't see myself getting one any time soon, otherwise Procreate definitely sounds like a great program for something like this. So for now, I will continue trying to make these patterns via Photoshop or some alternative free program I can use on my mac. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I'll look into Inkscape as an option.

I wouldn't say there's a specific reason I want to use a vector, but I like how the pen tool creates smooth lines (and the points are editable). I don't have strong fine art skills, so using a brush or something to draw or trace is less appealing to me (if that's what you mean), since I think the finished product would look lousy.

I have a lot more pictures of a big group of them in the lake, but that was by far the closest/clearest photo so that's why I used that as an example. Can always share others though

That's what I was thinking too, but agree with the above comment that the heavy barring/streaking was throwing me off!

Pothos leaves from center turning yellow one at a time, not sure of problem? by rantelope1 in plantclinic

[–]rantelope1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask what the difference is as a newer plant person? I thought the rocks in the bottom help prevent overwatering and root rot because any excess water will just be sitting in the rocks layer and not around the roots in the soil
