Vector Asset Creator guide

So you have decided to contribute to Arcticons, using your Android device. Vector asset creator is one of the easiest ways to create simple vectors.

Getting Started

Begin Drawing

  • Add a reference image [navigation pane > background > image]

  • Add some lines using the "Add stroke" tool from the toolbar at the top. e.g. [Add stroke > circle] You'll notice that the fill color is white and stroke colour is black.

  • Click the fill color tool and slide the fill-opacity slider all the way left, now the fill-color should be transparent.

  • Click the stroke color tool [More > stroke color] and set it to any convenient colour. e.g. for contrast.

  • Similarly set stroke width as per convenience.

  • Keep adding strokes, and finish the drawing.

Exporting

  • Remove the background image [navigation > background > clear]

  • Click the "Select" tool and select the entire image.

  • Click "Resize" tool and pull the bottom-right corner to resize the icon to fit the canvas well.

  • From the navigation pane, select "Export" > SVG > turn off "include background color"

  • The icon should be saved at Downloads/Vector Asset Creator/

Uploading

  • Go to the github page https://github.com/Donnnno/Arcticons/ in a browser

  • Turn on desktop mode in the browser

  • On the top-right corner, click the Fork button. You'll get your very own clone of Arcticons!

  • Click "other" directory

  • Click "Add file" > Upload files > choose your files

  • Select your masterpiece(s) and Commit changes (optional commit message)

There will be a dialog "... is 1 commit ahead of Donno:Arcticons"

There you go! We'll handle it from here...
