The latter will be very helpful if you plan on using this grass blade image repeatedly. You can save this as an image or as a brush. You can make an image copy of this grass shape by pressing CTRL+C on your keyboard, then press SHIFT+CTRL+V to paste it as a new image. At your working canvas, while the grass shape is still highlighted by “marching ants”, drag the cursor across your selection to apply the gradient. Since we’re making grass shapes, let’s use the Greens gradient leaving the other Blend tool settings to its default value. Choose the gradient color you want by going to Blend tool options and clicking on the Gradient button. You can change the foreground color beforehand to the color of your choice by clicking on the Foreground color button at the Toolbox.Īctivate the Blend tool at the Toolbox or click TOOLS-> PAINT TOOLS->BLEND at the menu bar. We will now fill this grass shape with the default foreground color by clicking EDIT->FILL WITH FG at the menu bar.
You can also click SELECT->FROM PATH at the menu bar to achieve the same result. Highlight the grass blade shape by clicking the Selection From Path button at the Paths tool options under the Toolbox. You can experiment with making other grass shapes by dragging any of the handles until you find the kind of shape that you want. Each point has two handles that manipulate its corresponding line segment.
You can also draw out the handles of the second point by clicking on the point to reveal the square handles, then click and drag them out while holding down the CTRL key. You can adjust the degree of the curves by dragging the square handles of the first point. Make sure that before you click on the first point, the second point should have a white color which means it was the last point that you made and the first point should be black. To create a grass blade shape, click again on the first point while holding down the CTRL key. This will result to a curved line which you can adjust by clicking and dragging any of the two points. You will see square handles connected to the point by broken lines that extend at opposite directions.Ĭreate a second point at the upper part of the canvas, either to the left or right of the first point. Click on the lower area of your canvas to make your first Path point and continue holding down the mouse button while dragging the cursor upwards. Once you have your canvas, activate the Paths tool, formerly known as Bezier tool, at the Toolbox or click TOOLS->PATHS at the menu bar.

Many, if not all, graphics software has its own Bezier tool including the GIMP program which you canĪt the menu bar, open a blank canvas by clicking FILE->NEW. It takes a while to get accustomed to the mechanics as to how the Bezier tool works especially when using the handles which allow you to create smooth curves in reference to the points you’ve made. The Bezier tool is the best graphics tool to use in drawing spindly curves such as in grass and vine illustrations.
