After about 3.5В hours of painting, this image was ready for further processing. Krita has a wide range of brushes as well as a brush engine, which makes replicating a traditional medium easier. I like grungy brushes and brushes that have a texture akin to chalks and sponges. Once I got the mountain how I wanted, according to the layout, I started painting the mountaineers and added more details for the ice and other features. Krita also has a nice feature called the Reference Image tool, which lets you pin some references around your canvas (this helps a lot and saves many Alt+Tabs). This helped me change the underlying base shape (in this case, the shape of the mountain in the first poster) anytime during the process. I imported my sketches into Krita and started adding more defined lines and shapes.ДЇor the first image, which has some mountaineers climbing, I used vector layers in Krita to add basic shapes and then used Alpha Inheritance, which is similar to what is called Clipping Masks in Photoshop, to add texture and gradients inside the shapes. For this project, I used Krita and Scribus, with some minimal use of Inkscape.

I may use one software from start to finish or combine various software packages to accomplish what I need. I choose my software and process according to my needs. My design process mostly depends on the kind of look I need in the final image. I know these are somewhat quick and safe concepts, but given the little time I had for the project, I went ahead with them. Repurposing my hand visual, I replaced the heart with a bouquet of flowers that has a heart-shaped card saying #thankGNU!

The FSF website has a hashtag for a donation program called #thankGNU, so I thought about using this as the basis of my design.

I didn't feel any excitement in executing this idea, nevertheless, I kept it for backup in case I fell short of time.

I also wanted to ask people to donate to FSF, so I sketched a hand giving a heart.

So, I thought showing some mountaineers would resonate well.

On the FSF's website, I read about taking free software to new frontiers, which made me think about the idea of 'conquering a summit.' Free software work is also filled with adventures, in my opinion, and sometimes a task may seem like scaling a summit.

I scanned them using Skanlite although these sketches were very rough and would need proper layout and design, they were a good base for me to work from. I needed to finish the project in two days time, while simultaneously working on other projects. I am not that great of a copywriter, so I started reading the FSF website to get some copy material. Sketching some conceptsДЄfter understanding Abhas' initial requirements, I sat down to visualize some concepts.

This article is my effort to detail the process I typically use to create my artwork and to spread awareness that one can do professional work with the help of F/LOSS tools. Although many artists successfully use free software to create artwork, I repeatedly encounter comments in discussion forums claiming that free software is not made for creative work. I create my artwork with F/LOSS (free/libre open source software) tools. I designed two posters for RMS's talk in Bangalore. Stallman was visiting our country, and my friend Abhas Abhinav wanted to put up some posters and banners to promote his visit.
