Inspired by the Gamasutra article named 2D Game Art For Programmers part 1, I was making some stuff using Inkscape and I want to share my learnings.

In this case, I want to share how I made the background for buttons to be used in games. As the article’s author did, I created an image explaining step by step:

Creating a button step by step
(note: click the image for full resolution)

After adding content to the background, we could create stuff like this:

Button examples

I will create another post explaining how to make those button content shapes.

You can download the SVG template from this link if you want to use it, and or modify it.

Hope you like this post, because I am planning to make more :D.
