Learning things on Inkscape

My Hearts : )
In Inkscape i Have learned many things already made up of only very simple shapes such as circles , triangles , squares , rectangles etc. At the top i made a heart out of a circles. In order for me to convert the Circle to a heart I have to use nodes. Nodes are handles that help you form the shape into whatever you like. Its very intresting to see how you can make so many different kinds of shapes and objects out of just one simple Shape. We also did clovers and bones. The Clover and the Bone are also made out of simple easy shapes. At the begging it was pretty hard but when you do it over and over you start to get the hang of it. I really thought i wouldent be able to do that.
I also learned how to put in a Gradient. Gradients are fillings that fill the shape in a different colour. The heart in the middle has a purple, blue and pink gradient . The gradients make the heart look prettier. I like the gradients because they make the heart look alot more intresting to look at. You can make your own gradients in all colours you like. It was very intresting to see that at the begging when i started i had a normal plain circle and now i have a heart with all sorts of colours ! I really enjoyed drawing the hearts.
