Here is an awesome, detailed, step-by-step on drawing a side-view 2d helicopter by Chris Hildenbrand. Chris’ tutorials yield some impressive results, however they are aimed at intermediate inkscape users.
Update: After this tutorial, be sure to check out the next one in the series, that shows you how to modify your helicopter!

Thanks for the post… This helicopter tutorial is probably the most complex object in my posts so far… If you go back to the earlier / earliest posts it’s very much a beginners level – fun with circles and squares.
Hi Chris!
You do have an impressive array of tuts! I’m sure we will be linking to a lot more in the future!
