It’s Friday, I’m feeling a bit lazy so today I’m just going to point you in the direction of some interesting Inkscape tutorials that you might want to take a look at over the weekend.

I have some major bug fixing to do on one of my other sites but will prepare some shiny new tutorials for next week!

Illustrating Tomato is a nice tutorial from kalaalog.com. It’s not so much the tomatoes I find interesting, but the technique of first hand drawing them and then making shapes around the drawing. Gives a nice hand-drawn finish.

Inkscape Docs Interpolate Tutorial - if you haven’t got this far through the Inkscape documentation take a look at this well-written tutorial on interpolate. It’s a very cool tool in inkscape for morphing from one shape or colour to another.

Gradients to Path is such a simple yet brilliant idea. A really easy way to make a gradient or abstract shape using markers on a line.

3D Text by Nicu is an easy to follow tutorial on getting an embossed look on text using the blur filter. Could work well with non-text objects too.

That should keep you going until next week when I’ll be concentrating on some fairly heavy going GIMP tutorials on photo restoration. Have a great weekend!
