35 Tutorials to create amazing Vector Graphics using Inkscape

Inkscape is a free vector graphic design alternative software similar to Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw, only it doesn’t cost you a penny. It is maybe not as powerful as its higher priced rivals, but certainly powerful enough to design high quality vector graphics.
If you are looking to venture into vector design, I recommend using Inkscape first, learn as much as you can and then if you need something with more kick splash out on Illustrator.

    How do I save my work so I don’t loose my blurs or filters? Even in png format i get only a flat color and no special effect. Kinda frustrating. Svg is not recognized by many other programs. By the way  on the this link there is nothing but junk sites.
