I'm not an artist, and I use vector graphics mainly for technical drawings... But at can be expressed in any medium I think

@Yulianna take a simple drawing of a circle... In normal bit mapped graphics ( these are the normal kinds, photos fur example) each part of that circle must have information and is own spot or pixel... Two disadvantages here... The first is the file size is big, the second is that the image can only be enlarged to a certain size before it starts looking bad.

With vector graphics there is only a few bits of information... One is is a circle, the second is where it's centre is located, the third is it's radius and the fourth is the fill colour.... And the great advantage is you can enlarge it as much as you want and it still looks great!

More difficult to use at first... But great once you get the hang of it

@ozgirl512 i understand most of those words, but i am not too sure about what you are saying 😄

i will google and study a bit more, as i know nothing about computer graphics.

@Yulianna sorry about that lol... It's kind of hard to explain, easier to demonstrate ;)

@ozgirl512 🤗😄 it's funny, i think i am quite smart then i see something like that and realise i can be total dummy!

i have allocated some time at weekend to investigate - not to become expert but just to understand a bit of what you do. so thank you, you know i love to learn new stuff.

@Yulianna of you want to try, there's a free program called Inkscape.... It's a great app, totally brilliant with lots of on line free tutorials.... If you ever need to do illustrations it's perfect and I can't recommend it enough :)

@ozgirl512 oh thank you, i will try that, could be good right now to have a new thing to learn.

@Yulianna thinking about this, read one of the tuts for beginners..... It will teach you everything you need to understand vector graphics ;)
Yulianna · 22-25, F

ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@Yulianna in vector graphics in general fur the understanding, in Inkscape for the tut.... There's a good one fur drawing a coffee mug... Simple to understand :)

@ozgirl512 ok, i will enjoy investigating that 🤗
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
