Learning to use Various Design softwares

This week i tried to learn various design programs to be able to create my own designs or to edit existing designs to fit my purpose.

First i tried Inkscape because it is open source and claimed to be easy to use.

This is how Inkscape looks when you open it up.

I used this tutorial to get familiar with the basics and used it to design a simple bowl consisting of concentric circles.

The design consists of 2 sets of concentric circles with a difference of 5mm between the 2 sets. The final bowl would consist of alteratively glueing pieces from each set to form a bowl shape.

The finished product should look something like this.

Next i tried Tinkercad to try and create a basic mug in 3D
