I can't seem to find a stupid questions thread so new thread it is.I'm a /co/rtoonist and I'm trying to make a comic page template like pic related but with custom measures. On inkscape I managed to draw a rectangle with the specific measures and managed to center it, so I have the safe area but I have no idea how to do the little lines that mark the thirds and fourths.I assume I should split the faces of the rectangle into individual lines but then what do I use to find the center, thirds etc?Is this even the right approach for such thing? is there a better way to undertake this?
Can you just use the pen tool to create lines where you want them.
>>462843>is there a better way to undertake this?I did the same a while ago, I tried using Inkscape for a project and after a couple hours I gave up and went back to Adobe™, Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign are just reliable and you save yourself headaches and time by working faster and finding tutorials instantly, also if you're making a comic the last thing you want to do is the measures, here's a great description of the process two guys used in the comic watchmen:https://youtu.be/ouGqN-2efA8?si=KrvlrEd2rssnpk0e&t=363
OP here, so I powered through it and found the places for the guidelines using the technique described here https://web.archive.org/web/20210612234747/https://andreasaronsson.com/guides/perspective-drawing/divide-into-equal-parts/I expected to there be something more sophisticated to archive the same results with less work plus I'm not sure how precises is the work I did.What do you guys think?>>462845Yes.>>462847I just prefer FOSS software and Watchmen is an example of why these types of guidelines are so important since watchmen sticks to a 3 x 3 grid for all its pages.
>>462858Good solution, but you’re right there should be an easier way. Can you set guides in your version of Inkscape? It should let you put in the exact location and set a color and label, a lot less work.
>>463387I'm sure it can but from what I can see it'll require me to do math to find the X and Y where the line should go.
