Summary

In this chapter, we learned about some basic shapes, the tools to make them, and how to modify their properties. As we saw in our practice exercise, these tools come in quite handy for making vector art and will serve us well as we continue.

While making the turntable, you may have noticed that illustration can involve a lot of manual alignment work to look correct. In the next chapter, we’re going to explore some ways to be lazy and make Inkscape do all that tedious alignment work for us.
