How exactly do you make the stroke (not fill) colour white/Whatever?

If you're taking a color from a swatch, go to Fill and Stroke and click Stroke by the top and select the color. Or you hold shift while clicking the color.

Great tutorial, but do you know any that can teach me how to make pony vectors from scratch as opposed to bases?

I feel really silly but I'm having a hard time getting that hair section above the horn. I'm selecting it and pressing ctrl+d and then shit+pg up, but I'm not getting it to go onto the horn layer.

how do you save a swatch? it won't save any colors on my computer >.>
š: 0 ā©: 1
Use the swatch button in the Fill and Stroke "Fill" tab like in Figure 2. If it's not showing in your Swatches, make sure it is set to "Auto" by clicking the little left-pointing triangle just above the scrollbar and selecting Auto. IIRC, the Auto swatches are saved as part of the SVG file so that you can still use them later. If it's still not working, you may just want to install a palette like one of these: fav.me/d4t42da

If you didn't download it from here, it's probably not Inkscape if it looks so different.

How do you do eyes? I've got the basic oval for the iris, but the gradient gets the weird line through it.
š: 0 ā©: 1
What do you mean by "weird line"? Can you post a screenshot of the problem to your scraps and post a link in reply?
š: 0 ā©: 1
Well I've figured that out as of the moment, but now I have the outline of the ellipse without the gradient and frankly, it just looks awkward. (See:Ā sta.sh/01frnuwhdglu)
š: 0 ā©: 1
For the outline, set it to no stroke (Shift-click on the red X in the palette). That should work. You can set a stroke to a gradient, too. That's how I do Celestia's hair.Ā

I never realised it looked this simple!

i appreciate anyone who can answer these questions for me. is this program good for those who are just starting out for digital art and is this program compatible and good with an electronic drawing pad for the computer?

I think it's a very good program, however it glitches out if I turn on the pressure sensitivity with my Wacom Intuos3 tablet.
š: 0 ā©: 1
Haha! It glitches out when I use my mouse! Its an awesome program, but thank God for ctrl Z.

Weird. Anyway, hope you like. Ctrl+Z is my BFF.

Ok I'm using this tut. and I'm trying to use the layers and opacity thing. I've made my hair outline white and whenever I go the the layers and change the opacity, it doesn't work! I don't know which layer I'm working on. My background layer is locked. Can you please help me out here!?

This is so useful. But alas, I am too impatient to make vectors. XD
