Inkscape Hands-on Class 02: Whale Logo

What You Will Learn?

• (NOTE: I have combined all of the Inkscape Hands-on classes into a single course, called Inkscape Essentials: Hands-on Approach, which also contains additional lessons. Check it out!).

• If you are fairly new to Inkscape, I highly recommend following the classes in order, as we will be learning new tools and features in each lesson and reusing ones we learned in previous lessons, without explaining them again. You can find links to all of the classes in the series at the bottom of this description..

• To download the whale.png image we'll import, as well as the finished project file, please go to the Projects & Resources section of the lesson. You can find a link to the section above this description..
• See you in the lesson!.
• NOTE: This series assumes that you already have a copy of Inkscape installed on your system. If you don't, you can find the latest version at the Inkscape homepage, inkscape.org, along with guides on how to install it on a Windows, Mac, or Linux system..
