Pixel Joint Forum: having trouble with non cubic shapes

Message

   Is there a specific way to draw something like skewed ellipse?

it's hard to tell like this I've took a ss to explain the situation.

I was thinking I guess the only solution looks like AA but also that looks like an escape plan. (also I didn't like the idea of AA :/ )

	You mean a helper tool for drawing curved lines ? Some programs have it, using Bézier curves, but from looking at screenshots of Pixen, it doesn't seem to be one. (I just notice that Grafx2 calls it "spline", which may not be the most evident term for artist)

	*Originally posted by yrizoud* You mean a helper tool for drawing curved lines ? Some programs have it, using Bézier curves... yeah something like that. or maybe a pen tool might be handy but i don't think it would be impossible to have it undercontrol when it comes with pixels. And also yeah, pixen doesnt hve any tool for that but even it's in beta it's pretty useful. I've heard graphics gale like 1000 times but since I' doing my illustrations on mac I never gave it a chance. I might give it a try thou. If feels a little uncomfortable working on virtual machine stuff you know... I hope it wont work sucky with winonx. Thanks!

	I've tried graphicsgale with winonx it turned out I couldn't move any window which were scattered in the middle of the screen. Which was unable to work :( but I gave a shot with my old but trusty fireworks it turned out it has the tool exactly what I was looking for. It creates a bit crispy and dodgy lines but I guess with few hand modifications I could get what I want but still I'm open for any other techniques, plugins, software etc. http://imgur.com/o2lNb
