Las Meninas.

We've created our own version of one of the most famous Spanish paintings, Las Meninas by Velázquez. We used Inkscape which has been very useful for us during this process of painting. This is what we finally obatined, it's not as the original one, but you can easily recognize the painting.

The steps that we followed were this ones:
- First we downloaded the original picture of this painting.
- After that, we uploaded this picture to inkscape and zoomed it up.
- Once we had the picture close enough we started to paint over it following the lines which were already painted.
- Finally, as we had all the lines drawn, we deleted the original picture from the background and started to color each of the section of the drawing with its own color.

Hope you like it :)

Pacman.

We've created our own Pacman following each of the steps in the instructions found in the link below:

Our final result is this one:
Then we drew two different cartoons which you've probably seen before ;)


We've chosen this two images below and basically did almost the same that we did with 'Las Meninas', some of the problems found are the following ones:

- We found it difficult to draw the eyes because instead of being perfect circles (which are the ones easier to draw with Inkscape) they were kind of irregular and we had to paint it manually. If you have the same problem, not just with the eyes but with any other part of the drawing, we recommend you to zoom it up even a little more, and so the line will look a little more precise.
- In addition, when you start painting the cartoon you will probably find problems (as we did) with filling the whole gaps with color. For this, the advice that we give you is that when you draw the lines, you should remark and connect precisely the lines which will form part of the same color section.
