Summary
In this chapter, we learned how to make custom shapes by editing paths with the Node tool. We also learned about the different kinds of nodes we can use (smooth, corner, auto, and so on), and played with different kinds of curves (Bezier, Spiro, and so on). We even learned how to draw paths directly on the canvas with the Freehand and Calligraphy Brush tools and apply shapes to simulate brush strokes.
In the next chapter, we will explore how to make custom shapes very quickly with Path Operations and the brand-new (as of Inkscape 1.3) Shape Builder tool.
