At least with the fish I strayed from the tutorial.

Used a google photo of one as the idea (but not tracing it, just having it open on the second screen).

Thanks to bobbo I checked out this page and found an inkscape rocks tutorial, which i tried to follow (the first page).

I think they turned out fine.

I then wanted to try a cactus on my own. I think it kind of worked, overall I am pleased.

I think this went really good :)

Googled pictures of moles (they are actually pretty disgusting) but managed to capture one (kind of) in inscape.

Got praise from my wife. (woho for that :) )

Learned at least how to create gradients (for the nose) and how to manipulate path. (played around with the clouds - edge nodes vs. line nodes and stuff like that.)

changed the highlights on my grass, duplicated a little.

tried to make clouds (learned to use union on shapes) and went for a molehill.

I have just downloaded Inkscape for the first time for this streak. I always wanted to learn how to use it. Let's see what the results will be.

[Insert 60 minutes of trying to get anything done here]

Wow... this is hard (never done any vector graphics ever before).
