La chronique de Mélisande* Au cours des années, j'ai créé plusieurs dizaines de modèles. Pour certains d'entre eux, j'ai publié des instructions, accessibles via la rubrique diagrammes de ce blog. D'autres ne subsistent que par une photo sur flickr et quelques croquis dans mes archives manuscrites. Longtemps, j'ai attendu le prince charmant, un as du dessin vectoriel qui serait prêt à diagrammer toutes mes créations ; je ne vois toujours rien venir, et à mon âge, cela devient improbable. Deux de mes modèles figurent dans le dernier livre de Meenakshi Mukerjee. Le premier résultat de mes efforts est présenté dans le billet précédent. Je partage toujours mes idées de création par des photos, CP, tutoriaux, sur flickr ou ailleurs, et cela ne va pas changer. J'envisage de publier mes futurs diagrammes dans des livrets de convention ou autres ouvrages collectifs. Le diagramme coûte 2 USD, le CP est toujours gratuit : pdf Vous avez le choix.
