I noticed that after I posted my comment. I feel dumb. Oh well, thank you!

I've been using Sodipodi/Inkscape for years but I've mostly just stuck with the basics. I always pick up something new from reading these!

Woo! Another great tut. Thanks again Aibo. Been working on a Apple Cobbler vector since the first tut and its coming along nicely thanks to these.

Always.

Anyway, that one looks useful when you add in the triangle in & out, unless you also should focus on stroke width. Stroke width today is already important in most illustrations and animations these days, consistent stroke thickness are so outdated like I used to do that.

I think you can be more in control when you just emulate the stroke with a closed curve like I do with ponies. But sometimes, even constant stroke width is useful - if only to change the stroke to a path.

My older artworks use constant strokes a lot and I'm sure even modern illustrators don't agree with that. Or maybe it's just me when most of the constant strokes I'm using are most of the time black.

Nitpick: Salvador Dali. Also I still can't imagine trying to animate from raw text, but I'm going to give Synfig studio a try in the near future. It doesn't have the friendliest UI, btu it does have one, and I do better visually than trying to work it out in my head.

Yeah, I know... But I'm too lazy to fix it at the moment.
