Technical requirements

As mentioned in the previous chapter (which you should go back and read if you skipped it), this chapter assumes you’ve taken my advice and gotten yourself a good wired or wireless mouse to use with Inkscape.

We will also be relying on hotkeys for moving/panning around the canvas, and many more hotkeys will be mentioned along the way. It’s a good idea to use them as you go through the practice lessons and try out other things in this chapter. The more you use them, the more you will remember them, and you will spend less time searching and more time drawing and constructing your vector masterpiece.

You can download the practice files for this chapter from GitHub at
