Inkscape Beginners Level - learn imagine and create!

In this lecture, we will name each of the icons on the Command Bar and give an example of their function.

In this lecture, we will name each of the icons on the Command Bar and give an example of their function.

We will start this lecture by distinguishing the canvas from the page.  We will then feature the rectangle tool to help explain shape tools, the tool control bar, and the many functions the selector tool provides.

In this lesson, we will utilize the Document Properties Panel and Snap features to customize our page and create a makeshift template. We will also access the Align & Distribute and Tiled Clone Panels, and learn to create unique patterns quickly and easily.

Continuation of the description in part-1.

We will start this lecture by learning how to re-calibrate the Inkscape default measurement behavior. We will then learn all manners of zooming, using the mouse, keyboard and tool control bar icons.

This lecture begins by defining polygon while displaying several types for example. We will learn the difference between star and polygon.  Learn how to manipulate the star and polygon by their handles as well as from the tool control bar. 

In this lecture we will compare the Bezier and Spiro modes while increasing the smoothing value, to better calibrate this tool to our liking. We will then look at the shape drop-down menu, and learn how to create our own pencil shapes.

Here we will cover the four Bezier modes, as well as look at the shape drop-down menu.

We will begin this lecture by looking at the Inkscape calligraphy presets.  Next, we will learn how to edit calligraphic profiles. We will then set the units within this tools preference box, after which we will walk through all the settings on the Tool Control Bar.

We will learn about regular and flowed text objects; we will also learn how to access the spell check panel. We will take a look at the text and font panel where we will set our default font family, style, and font size setting. We will then discuss superscript and subscripts and how they are used. We will learn how to align and snap text to guides, take a look at word and character spacing as well as character rotation. We will end the lecture by placing text on a path, flow text into several objects, and flow text into a skewed object. 

In this lecture we will access the document properties panel settings, to customize our canvas page, guidelines, and grid, for precision drawing. We will also utilize snap features to ensure quick and accurate work.

In this lecture, we will look at the Spray Tool and its several modes. We will also modify Spray Tool parameters, and look at how the Spray Tool works in conjunction with the Tweak Tool.

In this lecture, we will look at the Eraser Tool and its two modes.

In this lecture, we will look at how the Paint Bucket Tool flood fills bounded areas and paints over selected objects. We will learn how the grow/shrink setting works in regard to both fill and stroke. We will also compare the color palette to the paint bucket tool. We will then look at the close gaps menu, and learn how the Paint Bucket Tool can trace an image.

In this lecture, we will look at linear and radial gradients on both fill and strokes, we will also learn about offsets and how to add and remove stops. We will then transform a few geometric shapes into a recognizable scene.

In this lecture, we will learn how the dropper tool can change a fill or stroke, with an existing color within our drawing. Learn how to find an average color from a selected group of colors, and how to invert selected colors. We will also learn how the dropper tool can mimic a selected object's opacity as well.

In this lecture, we will learn how to connect and disconnect objects, and alter line styles. We will also learn how to avoid selected objects, and change curvature and spacing of the avoided object. 

Here you will find a multitude of tool, panel, and command keyboard shortcuts.
