In this tutorial I'll be demonstrating how you can use either Inkscape or Illustrator to create simple vector line art designs that could work great for t shirt designs, logos, monograms, and more. This tutorial specifically will be utilizing a sunny mountain landscape with pine trees as an example, but you can use this lesson to create any other type of design you'd like.
In this tutorial we'll be constructing the design entirely out of strokes. The benefit of creating the design this way is that you can easily adjust the weight of the lines after the design is finished. This would be a little more difficult if it were done with paths. However, the design can always be converted to paths afterwards, so we'll be getting the best of both worlds.
