Using the bezier tool

In the last couple of lessons we are practising our skills and techniques with the bezier tool. We started by tracing around hearts and other things and i advanced quickly then we were given a bunch of different animals and we were told to trace around them to make them identical to the originals, as you can see below I chose a shark. I felt that the mouth was the hardest part because i had to make it in 2 different pieces . After i had sucessfully completed the shark i made a background complete with the Titanic with loads of portholes it was quite challenging to make it .
The icebergs were using the bezier tool to make a pretty much random shape.

Path Objects

For the last week we have been learning how to path objects by using different paths. We learnt 6 different types of paths: Union, difference, intersection,exclusion and cut path. Each one is used for a particular purpose,here is an example of how these are applied on inkscape (above). Then we used our new found knowledge of these paths by a set of challenges set by our teacher. Our next challenge was to create animal faces being very precise. This meant we had to use duplicate, align and distribute and using the shift button to make sure our objects were perfect. I made a panda and a Elephant.
