In this Inkscape basics tutorial, I show you how to add a gradient fill to your text to create amazing typography and text effects. I also show you how to add a gradient to the STROKE of your text (yes, you can have gradients in the fill and the stroke of your text in Inkscape). I cover the text tool, gradient tool, plus the fill and stroke dialogue and the new gradient editor in Inkscape 1.2.
Inkscape is a free and open source vector graphics editor most similar to Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Designer.
