Inkscape Tutorial: Line Art Designs
Again, watching YouTube for graphics tips, I came across a video on the channel Logos by Nick where he shows us how to make a simple line art logo using some of the Path tools. His was a mountain, trees and water with the sun behind it, and it was really good!
I decided to go a different direction, so I used a trace I made of tuxlink's awesome Dobie from the wallpaper he gave us recently, and made something sort of similar. When you set up your page, make sure the setting "Scale Stroke Width" is turned off. That way, when you make your stroke width 5 pixels, and then resize something, the pixel width will stay 5, making things uniform. It's much easier than going to Fill & Stroke and changing it with every line. Also, remember to use the command Path > Object to path on the objects that you draw, since we're using path commands.
