When you say "child's doodle" are you referring to the line or the arrow?

If you're referring to the arrow part, there are many different endpoints for the arrow you can choose, but if they're unsatisfactory, you might want to make your own arrow head :)

If you're referring to the line itself, I would suggest getting familiar with the "bezier tool", which you can see in use here: https://youtu.be/AAgWhnf_p3k

Hi All,

Not to ask too stupid a question, but can I draw arrows with arrow heads
and straight lines at any angle with Inkscape? Like:

4 ---------->

Many thanks,

I'm not certain if this is what you're looking for, but if you draw a line, open "fill and stroke" you can choose arrow endpoint markers under the "stroke style" tab. The size of the arrow is determined by the size of the stroke.

I will give it a try. What I am after is something that doesn't look like
a child's doodle.

Thank you!
