modify the shape freely.
Note that while the distinction makes it sound as though a Stroke is forever locked into a line shape, and a
Fill forever locked into a block shape, a little creativity can easily blur the distinction:
FILL STROKE
and
The more you work with Inkscape, the more you'll be able to
appreciate the value of both fills and strokes. For the time being ,
just note that the union of the twoh elps form the basis for the
Anime cel look that we'll be working with going forward. Plea se
note that while every shape in Inkscape is composed of fills a nd
