Inkscape Mini Tutorial - Creating a Fishpond using only Circles @2dgameartguru

Uploaded June 2023 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

In this mini video, I create a fishpond with a koi using only circles. This is one of the challenges in the Facebook group 'Inkscape - hands-on'.

Rather than try to draw complex shapes with the pen or pencil tool it can be a lot easier and faster to 'build it' with shapes. The circle is quite versatile and I like to use it as the starting point for more complex designs.
