The saucer will be comprised of five different ellipses, so get ready to draw. Let's start by making the saucer that the coffee cup rests on. If this is your first time using Inkscape, I recommend that you complete a few of the tutorials that come bundled with Inkscape first to get the hang of how the program works (available from the Help menu).īegin by opening up a New document in Inkscape. If you would like to download Inkscape, go to. If you're familiar with Illustrator or a similar program, you should be able to follow along relatively easily.

We'll mostly be drawing shapes and using the Gradient Tool to accomplish the desired effect.

In this first Inkscape tutorial for Vectortuts+, we'll create a beautiful coffee cup and show off some of Inkscape's features. Inkscape is an open source alternative to Adobe Illustrator and other programs for creating vector graphics.
