looks interesting, yet also the same :wink:

       Now:
       Well, I did sign up with one group to design new fonts,
          but I don't understand how to get these new fonts to actually be
usable ...
         there must be something more than just pasting them into the
appropriate folder(s) :wink:

       To convert a photo onto the computer, you might try a couple ideas:

          (1) scan the photo ... then convert this image to a black-white
sketch;
                 you'll get something like a line drawing which you can
then alter as you wish;

          (2) open LO's or another similar program ... sketch in the
diagram which approximates the photo;
                 the outcome will not resemble free hand, rather something
the computer did.

       Oh, BTW, I've watched some of these animated shows which folks seem
to rave that the computer is so good;
                 well, nothing can compare to the details which Walt
Disney's animators drew.

I'm no artist myself but I do find it interesting. I watch a girl on Twitch
who uses GIMP.. mostly for coloring but I think she does drawing as well (
https://www.twitch.tv/jasmocolors/profile). In terms of converting drawings
to digital I've seen a few videos on that. This one on InkScape (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnXQPwHEH0U) and this other one using
InkScape as well (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DVlmaG-91o)

If your goal is convertinga drawing into a diagram that should be pretty
simple to scan and convert based on what I've seen in those videos. Throw
some of Jasomo's coloring techniques on top of it (
https://www.youtube.com/user/jasmosteele) and I believe you can do a lot
with digital drawing. that said it does require things like artistic skill,
a drawing tablet, a scanner etc.
