September 30, 2024 How to draw shapes with complicated contours in Inkscape
In this tutorial I'll be demonstrating how to create shapes with complicated contours in Inkscape. The example I'll be using for this demonstration is an eyeglass frame, which has unnatural curves that can't be simulated with basic shapes. To accomplish this we'll be using a combination of advanced settings and features in the software.

September 17, 2024 It's not you, stroke-to-path is broken. Here's a fix...
In this tutorial I'll be addressing a bug that currently exists in version 1.3.2 of Inkscape where the stroke-to-path function creates a broken path where it looks like a triangle has been cut out of the corner. A simple workaround for this is to select the path and "reverse" it (Path, Reverse Path) before converting it to a stroke.
