How to Draw Tux the Penguin using Inkscape

Sped up video with explanation of me drawing a picture of Tux in Inkscape. Original length 40 Mins, I have sped it up to 6 mins.

Tools used: Paths, Fill, Liner & Radial Gradient Fill, Circle, Cut Path, and Object to Path.
After the video I altered his beak and eyes, then added Inner shading and Drop shadows to beak and feet.

Are you an Artist / Computer artist? Looks easy but it's harder than it looks...

[quidsup]

@sorryunlucky I've done a bit of computer artwork, but I wouldn't call myself an artist. Did it to mess around and waste time
