Looks really great now, Jim :)

That's an interesting detail I never knew - about the SHIFT button either way.

It would be easier to subtract the white background if you export without any antialiasing at all.

Yes there is. You can specify the angle of a line by using keyboard inputs to position subsequent nodes following the first one.

But if all you want is 45 degrees then use the snap grid. It's a lot faster than all that typing. A line that crosses the same number of horizontal grid squares as vertical ones is always 45 degrees.

Yes, it is a bit late because I've moved on to a third option that seems to be working even better than either A or B, but your opinion is still valued :)

Hello Frank :)

We were all newbies once, so don't be shy about asking questions or showing your stuff.

Welcome to the forum.

Yes. That's what I was saying. I've noticed several times before now that if something is quite small, or in this case thin, shadow effects don't always work as expected.

I tried little tiny people for the new city style, but I gave up because it was impossible to get them to cast nice shadows where they were so tiny.

It might be easier to see this without the grid for now.

Just a reminder that this Live Mapping session is set for this Thursday evening.

If you previously booked a reminder from Youtube you should still get it, even though it's all happening a fortnight later than planned.

In Krita, press W to get the wraparound view. Don't even try to edit them without the wraparound view being active, or your edits won't be seamless.
