What you can do with filters in Inkscape
This week you’ve seen me as an artist, a photographer and now I share my design workflow with you.
Usually I begin with doodling around in Inkscape. Inkscape is the open source alternative to Adobe Illustrator. It took me some time to get used to it and to find my way through it.
