Computer-Aided
Design

Paint is a Microsoft product mostly used in arts. I used it to draw the idea I had of water and a swimming pool. Through practice, I developed a waterfall scene, experimenting with different brush types and sizes.

Step 1
Started with water brush to create the water base

Step 2
White brush (small size) added water texture

Step 3
Black brush forms the dark mountain side

Step 4
Second mountain side added with black brush

Step 5
Green oil brush adds grass texture on mountains

Step 6
Green texture extended to the other mountain side

Step 7
Plants added; waterfall prolonged to fill empty space

Step 8
Final fixtures refined and polished

Final
Text "blend" added to complete the artwork

For vector creation, I used Inkscape. I downloaded a Nottingham Forest logo and imported it to trace into a clean vector. Source: 1000logos.net

Trace Bitmap via Path menu

I navigated to Path → Trace Bitmap to convert the raster image to a clean vector. Unlike raster images, vector files maintain perfect quality at any zoom level.
