Now we work in multiple objects. It's a very important part in Inkscape. Because when you are drawing, as I said, you are not using a brush and erase that brush or, you know, draw with a pencil you are not even drawing you're sculpting. Imagine that it's like pieces of paper, cut out the shape and put them stack them on each other and build your image from that. So, in more of the drawing, we are actually building or arranging objects, which are easy to modify after that, that's the most that's the most powerful thing about Inkscape. How easy it is to modify, you will see that.
So think about it. Every time you draw something in Inkscape it gonna have multiple objects, so not some of them, I have to show you how to work with them. When I'm creating a circle and I'm creating the square. You see, it's a I can select one of them. If I'm holding Shift, I can select two of them to see how the arrows are expanding here. If the two of them is selected, I can work with the two as long as they are selected, I can work with the two and move them, scale them and everything I want onto there selected together.
If I'm if shift clicking on one of them again, it won't be part of the selection anymore. How else I can select object if I do some more little things. With the selection tool, I can shift click as I said or I can draw selection square like when you are selecting your icons or in a folder is this easy. What what is in the select Show square will be selected what is only touched by the square wand. So mine the big square on the top. It's not selected only if it's included.
Totally Same goes for the little one. Now all of them is selected I can scale them together I can squeeze them I can do whatever. Now I have several objects each of them is the same color as I said because the tool was remembering the last color like color I used and I will show you how to color an object very easily in the next lesson we will go all about the colors. So this is just the very basics if I click on an object, and I click on a color I want to assign to it is this easy click on the object, click on the color, click on the object color. So it's like this much okay. It's very easy, it will be very convenient and a bit more complicated as well.
In the next lesson, I will explain it so as you see now the time if I if it's visible a bit more, if I move the objects and each other, they are actually stacked on each other. So I cannot see the circle on the bottom what what it what if I want the circle on the top No problem these icons. When you are on the selection tool, these icons are visible. It's a, the selected item or items actually can be on the top or on the bottom of the stack, or going up and down by one. So if I want this one up by one, talk, talk talk and it's up or down. You see how it's stepping step by step.
If I want to do that faster, I use the page up and page down page up page down you see step one, and up and down, and home and then is for stepping to the jumping to the front or to the back. So it's it can go with each of them. One more thing about multiple objects or objects in general in Inkscape is I said we are not using the eraser there is an eraser tool here. I guys, I will be honest, I rarely use it. I don't use it. Why?
Because it's so easy to delete, delete an object in Inkscape. You click on it, you hit delete, done, you click on it, and you hit Delete. Also with right click and delete, or just the delete key on your keyboard. That's easy. And if there is an object, I want to have it and I like the shape and everything to color Everything is fine. Then just Ctrl C Ctrl V. Hello, I have two objects.
You see if I want to make these different colors, then shift select them which white oh my god different colors. If I want to make a new object out of this one, I can instead of copy paste which is very nice. I can duplicate it. It's the key for it is Ctrl D like double So I push Ctrl D seemingly nothing happens just maybe a flash, because it's replicating the object, the same object on top of itself. You see, I have another white circle on the top. And I can color the new one and reshape it.
By holding Shift and contour together. You are resizing by the center of the object. And I can put it here, you see where I'm going to the applique this one. So this simple. This simple, stupid face is just a good example what you can do with very simple objects. You see I have the circle or for the eyes, the circle for the mouth.
I need this big yellow part to cover up half of the mouth, or I can do what I did. Also, he can scream, it's really nice. Or I can do what I did here. Make half circle. If I make him read, think it's already looks a bit like super meatboy if you don't know that game, check it out. It's very fun.
So it's very easy to draw a corrector and as you saw, it's one quick to recover it to reshape it. And with this very simple object now it's 123456 objects, I created a tiny little corruptor for myself. Now we will move on to coloring it has a lot to Inkscape has a lot to offer according to colors, transparency, gradients, everything. And we will go into that in the next one. And then we will move on to draw stuff like this.
