The color picker and gradient editor takes some getting used to. When editing a gradient, you must click Edit Gradient inside the color picker. Even if an object is selected, the previous object’s gradient remains in the gradient editor and adjusting it will change that unselected object.

This is a-ma-zing! And more amazing is the explanation. The result maybe is not that smashing, but it’s even better coz then we need to actually make it by ourselves. Thanks. Very cool.

You say:

“If you don’t, the blur effect will go outside of the guitar”

This is my problem. How to cut a blurred shap so that the blur doesn’t bleed across the cut. I’ve tried using patterns and paths (I think though I can’t find a way to tell what an “object” is (oject, path, pattern)

Anyone able to shed any light on this??

What a great tutorial! In my opinion the best one linked at the official Inkscape website. Most times I have problems with gradients, too, and my Bézier curves are sometimes looking a bit strange; But I think, I’ve drawn a really good image of my Aria stg-series for that I’m absolute beginner. Next time I will read an Inkscape book and I hope I will grasp and reproduce the whole tutorial.

Thanks a lot!

As with any program, unless you want to take classes or purchase books, you just have to poke around with it until you figure it out. There are many tutorials for Inkscape out there. Start with the simple one’s and work your way up. Sure it’s frustrating, but if you want easy, use MS paint. I use this program mainly for vinyl cutting and design. The trace bitmap feature is what got me hooked. I love inkscape and I love that it’s free.
