This is another video from 2Dgameartguru.com on character creation in Inkscape.
I am working with basic shapes, gradients, opacity, and blur to create a simple blue slime game character from scratch.
Most of the functionality shown in the video can be created with other software tools such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Affinity Designer with minor alterations and different names for the tools used.

As part of the challenge on the Facebook group Affinity Designer - hands-on I recorded my workflow while creating the design using basic shapes, the corner tool, and clipping masks.
I create the clockmakers store using basic shapes - circles, rectangles, and cogs - with added text elements. Most of the shapes have solid fills [I did cheat a little and used a few gradients] and use shading shapes inside clipping masks for detail and depth.
Reusing, duplicating, and modifying existing elements make it easy to quickly create complex designs.
