inkscape tutorial     posted on 15th of october, 2007

Hi all!

Today I post a simple tutorial about how to make a star pendant!

You will be able to make it with the free vector drawing software inkscape!

You can see my graphic in the image below and it has been made totally with inkscape. It is quite simple if you have a basic knowledge of the software.

- Convert both to path. This command will enable you to change the object structure so it is very important.

I like very much vector graphic tools such as inkscape!

Inkscape is opensourceSVG editor available for Linux, Windows and Mac OSX. Catchphrase? draw freely.

You can find useful the index page http://www.inkscape.org/doc/index.php that is available via Help > Tutorials in Inkscape as well. Well, I am thinking to write a short tutorial on blog if you want came back soon to read it! I wish you good luck cheer - posted by Chloe411 on October 08, 2007
I am very much interested in exploring vector graphic tools, but know very little about how to use them. Last night, I downloaded the free version of Inkscape through open source, but I was totally lost. I played around with it for a little while, but didn't know where to go with it. Where would one go to learn about how to use it? I really like your illustrations. You are very good. - posted by Cmarshall717 on October 07, 2007
