This quick video tutorial explains the use of lines, strokes, and pressure curve adjustments for easy and fast letter creation.
I will show you how to easily manipulate a line with a stroke and a pressure curve into letters. The node tool and alterations to the stroke allow quick changes in the look and feel of your letters - from dynamic or handwritten to graffiti or cartoon.
The pressure curve is a powerful [and somewhat underrated] tool. I love playing with it due to its flexibility and the fact that those shapes can easily be converted via 'expand to curves'.
Most of the functionality shown in the video can be created with other software tools such as Adobe's Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Inkscape with minor alterations and different names for the tools used.

This tutorial from 2Dgameartguru.com continues the redesign of the caveman game character from the two earlier videos.
The video shows how to arrange and export the parts in Inkscape and take them into the animation tool. In Spine, I set the key pose, add the bones and create a simple idle and walk animation.
[Spine can be found here: http://esotericsoftware.com/ ]
The same can be done in similar software to Spine. Spriter or Dragon Bones come to mind [skeletal-based animation and editors are also implemented in some game engines].
