It is for beginners follow along and that is it. I like Patricia way of teaching but this course is really to show some Inkscape features and how to proceed with the tool to make icons.

Die Inhalte sind sehr gut vermittelt. Ich würde mir jedoch wünschen, wenn manche Mausaktionen langsamer wären, damit ich das Video nicht anhalten und zurück spulen muss um mir Inhalte nochmal anzusehen.
