Question on using tablet functionality to help teach people to draw?
Hi I'm sorry if this is off-topic. I just didn't know where to post this
Question.
I know Gimp supports tablets and pressure sensitivity, but i was wondering
if it would be possible to record the data that is sent from the tablet and
to replay it later in a movie style, much like this website:
http://artpad.art.com/artpad/painter/
Also If the data from the input of the tablet could be dissected and
analysed to display the particular angle, amount of pressure used etc etc at
any given point in real time, you would be able to give feedback to the
user.
By doing so, you could implement a feature in the gimp whereby people who
can draw very well could write simple tutorials and amateurs could follow
along and be told when their doing the wrong thing, in order to get a feel
for the way in which to draw correctly.
Basically accessing this data from the input of a stylus on a tablet could
help teach people how to draw/paint or refine their skills.
I was wondering if this is something that is fairly easy to code (as I'm not
a programmer) and if so, whether anybody is interested in having a go?
Or if this is the wrong place to be asking this question, to where I should
send this question?
Thanks in advance,
Matt Jobson
