Dutch Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Before you start designing decals we must cover the basics of Inkscape. -The Draw Bezier and Straight Lines After selecting this tool you want to left click to create a node and it'll take a couple nodes to create a rough outline of your shape. You may notice a red line this is to help you create your desired shape. *Video Help* -Edit Paths by Nodes Will help you refine your rough outline into the desired shape. Simply click Edit paths by nodes then select your outline and push or pull a line segment till it's correct. -Tip/Nodes To move nodes around simply click edit paths by nodes. Select your outline,left click and hold on a node then drag your line. *Video Help* -Stroke Style >>> Select the paint brush located on the top tool. A window should open and select stroke style. Make sure to click on your line. Topically 2.000 and 3.000 PX are the stranded line widths I use for all my decals. -Tools before we start.

Baylego Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Thanks for the tutorial, Dutch! I think the most helpful part of this was the color guide. It is very hard to try to find the exact Lego shade of color. Quote
