  • Step 01: Document Setup



    Upon opening Inkscape, locate the Menu Bar.

    Select File > Document Properties. OpenOffice Draw Menu
    This will open up the Document Properties Window.

    You will notice tabs for Page, Guides, Grids, Snap, Color Management, and Scripting.

    On the Page Tab where the Default Units is set to px, select the Down Arrow and choose in for Inches from the drop down window.

    In the Page Size section select US Letter for
    8.5" x 11".

    Orientation will be set to Portrait by Default.


    To close the window, simply click on the x in the upper right hand corner. Now you can move on to creating your document.

    Step 02: The Oval Tool

    Next we will create a Gradient Filled Oval. Select the Oval Tool on the Tool Bar. Before drawing your Oval, go down to the Color Palette and hold the mouse over the color "Black". Right click and select Set Stroke. This will set the Stroke of the Oval to "Black" so that the shape remains visible on the page.
    If you wanted to change the Stroke to "Red", you would just do the same steps over that color instead.
