The Inkscape Help Thread

[Holammer]

This hasn't gone to the 2nd page yet, so here's my question:

Is there a way to do shading in Inkscape? By "shading", I mean the type that Crimmy uses.

Here's an example of how I usually do it.



Basically I use a bunch of shapes and a lot of node editing to simulate highlights and shading. To shade unusually complex objects I copy the object and use Object/Clip. If you have layering sorted this way of shading is a no-brainer.
To edit the colours I set the lightness in HSL.

Hope you find it inspirational on how you can use shading.
