[Video description: An audio-less video showing a screen capture of a computer, which has MS Paint open. There is a black canvas with white, painted looking font that reads, “My pronouns are”.
The cursor goes up to the color pallette, and sets the foreground color as white, and the background color as black. It then selects the Text tool, and white out in the same font already there, “ix/hal”, with a space in front.
When the cursor clicks away from the text box, almost all of the new font disappears, except for the word “ix”.
The cursor selects the Text tool again, and write “ix/hal” out again, then clicks out of the text box, so that the font again disappears except for “Ix”. The undo button removes the remaining new font, and a few moments later, a small screenshot of the whole canvas appears, with the word “ix/hal”. still visible in the text box.
The cursor selects the crop tool, and cuts out the words “ix/hal”. The screenshot disappears, and the cut out text appears, and is then doubled in size, and placed below the original text, so that it now reads, “my pronouns are ix/hal”.
The cursor moves to the File option at the top of the screen, and navigates a window that is invisible in the video. The canvas changes, now showing a close up of a swirling, glittery design of black, blue, purple, and red.
The camera zooms out to show the whole canvas, and the cursor changes the background color to black. The font is pasted in, with the white font now against the swirling background.
End video description.]
the font I’m using for this is glitchy (I think it thinks it’s too big for the space selected, even though it definitely isn’t) so instead of just being able to use it, I have to type out what I want, take a screenshot of that, and then cut it out, and then resize it lol.
anyway did I mention I make all my redbubble designs using MS Paint (or Ibis Paint X on my phone) and the only time I use GIMP is if I want something to be transparent?
