    Watching [url=https://youtu.be/YASEzC4VSyk?t=20]Inkscape Tutorial: MLP Eyes[url]

    At [url=https://youtu.be/YASEzC4VSyk?t=120]2:00[/url] he starts to make a iris:

    Make an 5-point elipse and then create a rectange.

    Can someone explain to me why do we need a a rectange?

    My idea was: Create a big elipse for Iris, color it, add gradient and then add inside elipse Pupil.

    They are using the ellipse to clip the group and adding the rectangle as a gradient overlay inside the group. It is more complicated, but makes more interesting highlights in the iris.
