Making an easy penguin

In a lesson, we got to choose to make anything. We had instructions on what we had to do. I chose to make a penguin and I thought it was really hard to make, but it turned out to be a lot of circles, ovals and three triangles. I had to use a lot of gradient to make the penguin look like it is 3D. After I made the penguin, I decided to make a sort of valentine heart. You can see above what my penguin looks like.

Making a Cartoon Head from Youtube

During a lesson we learned how to make an easy cartoon head. We also learned about a lot of different tools. For example, we used the bezier tool so that we can make freehand lines or shapes. We made the cartoon head's hair with the bezier tool. We then learned to use more nodes and gradients, so that we can change the cartoon head's hair however we want. We learned that we can intersect 2 different shapes from each other. That is what we used to make the hair for the cartoon head. After we made the cartoon head like in youtube, we got to make our own that is like the one from youtube, but make by our own imagination. Above is a cartoon king, which I made from my own imagination. Next to it on the left is the one that I made while using youtube as my instructions.

Learning about inkscape and making shapes.

When I learned about Inkscape, I learned about all the new tools, and how to make a basic shape, like a circle, star etc. Then we learned how to make a basic heart shape from a circle. We then learned how to make the heart look like it is 3D. We then learned how to make a bone from a triangle. We also tried to make a clover, and it didn't always end up as we wanted to make it look like. We were also challenged to make a heart out of a triangle, which is a whole different thing to do. Now these shapes seem so easy after we learned it, but we always find out new things to make the shapes look better. Above are some examples of the shapes that we made.
