Try this technique yourself! If it proves useful and you have more luck than me selling a design please consider coming back and using the paypal to tip me?

Playing with Red 2
Another possible modification of Chi Aka .
If you havnt read the prior post I started out with a SVG generated using Unihan code entered in the Inkscape program using Control u plus the unihan plus enter.

I changed the stroke or outline to Orange and then added two filters.
The latest version on Inkscape has filters and plugins .
Now experiment yourself!

Playing with Red
I've been playing with Inkscape again.
In Inkscape you can generate a character by typing Control U plus the Unihan.
I did so with the character CHI aka RED
then I converted the object to paths so I could alter the nodes and shapes.
This needs another tweaking but you can see what I'm aiming for ?
A SVG that can be turned into a jpg or png or other format and look more like brush work. And there are other things you can do once you have the SVG generated. See the next post! and oh if like me you can't afford Illustrator chekc out Inkscape an OPEN SOURCE program.
