Description
Hello and welcome to this course. My name is Joseph and, I will be your instructor on this second project where we learn how to design and illustrate using Inkscape.
We will create a beautiful landscape from a hand-drawn sketch.
Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editor that offers a rich set of features. It is widely used for artistic and technical illustrations, such as cartoons, clip art, logos, typography, diagramming, and flowcharting.
Even if you are an absolute beginner, this course is structured for you. It is easy to follow with a step-by-step documentation guide. We begin by setting up the workspace, learning the available tools and panels, loading, and saving files. You will also learn some tips, tricks, and techniques that I find extremely useful as an artist. We will also learn about color.
I will do my best to give you as much value as possible.
At the end of this course, you will have the knowledge and confidence to run a project in Inkscape.
I have also worked on several projects for some major companies. Join me as I take this journey to create this beautiful artwork.
I am glad to share with you my knowledge and skills.
Without further ado, let us begin.

- Beginner or intermediate in graphic design interested in learning more about vector graphics and illustration.
- Users of Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer, or CorelDraw, interested in learning a new application.
- Anyone interested in drawing cartoons, clip art, logos, typography, diagramming and flowcharting.

Instructor
My names are Joseph E. Iro.
I started as a tutor in High School. I have always been intrigued by Fine Art and Technology and took the initiative to learn by myself. After high school, I took the initiative to advance my communications and teaching skills and taught alongside older professionals. This experience helped me understand that teaching was something I am passionate and great at, and now I am motivated to teach and put into practice everything I learned over the last eight years.
