Drawing By Computer It's famously been said we draw by taking a line for a walk. In this course we will use a computer mouse rather than a pencil, and free open- source software: Inkscape. Draw crisp sinuous lines and shapes, colourful fills and patterns. Stay in control with edits on all elements of composition. Create eye-catching illustrations, greeting cards and animations.   Course Documents Week 0 Course Outline Content of U3A Course - in Inkscape Click to view Course Outline  (63KB) Week 1 Tutorial 1 (Shapes) Shape Tools - Draw a Cat Sitting Click to view Tutorial 1 (Shapes)  (116KB) Week 2 Tutorial 2 (Paths) Node Tools - Draw a Cat Stretching Click to view Tutorial 2 (Paths)  (103KB) Week 3 Tutorial 3 (Pattern & Gradient) Fill Techniques - Draw a Still Life Click to view Tutorial 3 (Pattern & Gradient)  (186KB) Week 4 Tutorial 4 (Text) Text Styling - Draw a Greeting Card Click to view Tutorial 4 (Text)  (145KB) Week 5 Tutorial 5 (Layers) Image Tracing - Draw a Sectioned Map Click to view Tutorial 5 (Layers)  (232KB) Click to view Map  (19KB) Week 6 Tutorial 6 (Animation) Animated GIF - Create a Buoy Bobbing Click to view Tutorial 6 (Animation)  (119KB)
