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.
