Inkscape . I use it for all my pony vectors, and I used it to arrange this tutorial image as well.

I used effects on GIMP 2.8, and it came out looking swell.
Thanks!

I've worked with GIMP for some things (eye glow effects, mainly) and I think this would also work there.
Myself, I mostly work with MS Paint, so the method I use when digitally drawing pony eyes is much simpler, if not as easy: "ellipse tool + steady hand with the brush tool" or sometimes just "steady hand with the brush tool".

i'm having problems with the pattern to path with the whole brush thing.

I'm having trouble with the Pattern along Path method.. I don't have any kind of pattern like that and I'm completely new to Inkscape, so have been manually tapering all my lines. Are there videos for this method?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For the most part, I make my own patterns from scratch and save them in a separate file or copy them over to a new one whenever I need them.
I don't have time to actually flip through videos at the moment, but YouTube has a bunch of videos for Inkscape Pattern to Path.

Hmm well I tried using a pattern and it just made the line thicker. Am I doing something wrong?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Depending on the pattern object you used, it might look like the line simply got thicker. However, there should actually a be a new object on top of the line which is a stretched/bent copy of the pattern object. Try dragging the "thicker" line and see if you actually have two objects there after applying the extension.

Hmm well when I deleted the original line and it ended up turning out like this after using Pattern along Path: [link]

Interesting. It looks like your underlying path might have been a loop rather than a line. Did you convert "Stroke to Path"?
If you somewhere to upload the svg file, I can take a closer look to see what's going wrong.

Thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU! You have no clue how hard it is for me to draw eyes correctly. This REALLY helps!

i wish this made sense to me cause then i could totally use it. but being that I have hardly any clue on how to use Inkscape in the first place, this sadly doesn't help.

Wait is this for photoshop and if it is would it work for gimp but its still awesome
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is for Inkscape, a free, vector-based drawing program. As GIMP is to Photoshop, Inkscape is to Flash/Illustrator. [link]
I don't know what sort of clipping/masking capabilities GIMP or Photoshop have (since they're important for this method of making eyes), but the basic design principles should be applicable no matter what program you use.
