In this tutorial I'll be demonstrating how to use simple shapes to draw a leaf in Inkscape. We'll also be using some design magic to make the leaves have natural, whimsical edges.
Want to learn more about how Inkscape works? Check out the Inkscape Master Class - a comprehensive series of over 50 videos where I go over every tool, feature and function in Inkscape and explain what it is, how it works, and why it's useful: logosbynick.com/inkscape/

Man, I learned inkscape entirely from your free tutorials, thank you

@yt_bharat Год назад

True, me too

@TechAmbition Год назад

Bro Same here! I don’t know why this channel is so underrated It may be some SEO problem.

@bob14072 Год назад

I have learned a lot from the free stuff also, but I bought the Master Class also. Well worth the money. Awesome job Nick!

@greyspot00 Год назад

What impresses me so much is these workflows you come up with to make complicated shapes with simple processes. It's really just a different way of thinking.

@TGFGamesta Год назад

I have been watching you for a while now. I have started my journey to my dream job - becoming a graphic designer. Your tutorials are so simple and clear that my skills have vastly improved from what they were. Thank you so much

@SuperWolfkin Год назад

You know I always complain to myself I never actually do your videos. They're the perfect blend of shortish length and technological level that they're exactly what I need to learn inkscape. But today I took the time. followed along did the video and yeah it was beautiful and already I have a better understanding of some of the tools I've only watched you use. 10-15 more of these and I can start working on doing my own simple edits. If I ever get the money I'm definitely taking the master class.

@flyingsquirrel3271 Год назад

Wow that example pattern looked beautiful! Could be on a shirt or summer dress. Your tutorials are truly valuable! Seriously, I think pretty much everyone could benefit from knowing how to use inkscape and gimp to some extend, not only designers. Being able to quickly put together a little icon or a nice infographic for a presentation or editing some photos etc. are skills that could be really useful for a lot of people both in their private lives and jobs.

Good presentation. I like that you detail over & over what it takes to create certain things. That way when I'm doing my own design work, I will hear your commands to do a certain action.

@ChickensAndGardening Год назад

The master at work! This was impressive to watch, even though I don't use Inkscape regularly but this makes me want to get better at it. Inkscape is handy for outputting SVG files to use for 3-D printing!

@erikfelton5228 Год назад

@Nick, in the first leaf you make from the pencil tool. You delete a bunch of nodes from the top edge and make a curve (spline?). If you wanted to use that exact curve as the top edge of the stem is there a way to "copy+paste" or "duplicate" the curve settings from the source nodes onto the target nodes? Thank you.

@Vanessa-ko5em Год назад

I dont know why but i don't have those little nodes you had when you were refining the contours of your leaf .. If anyone could answer thank you so much

@andrzejopalinski1891 Год назад

Might be easier to just use Bezier and apply pattern along path (single, stretched) with basic leaf than freehand it with mouse and then repair all of that sloppiness :P Great tutorial as always!

Bro I think it may be display size problem Bcz I normally use inkscape on pc which have a larger screen, everything was fine, but when I used it on Laptop, tabs were not showing, I think this might be due to smaller size of laptop screen

@tmon6038 Год назад

Hello, I don't have this Shape option in Draw freehand lines (Pen tool). There is one like this in Draw Bezier curves tool but it works a bit differently. I'm using Inkscape 1.2.1. Any idea?

@cbbcbb6803 Год назад

Your tutorials are wonderful. I do have one complaint, though. The dark mode does not work well all of the time, especially when watched on a small screen. On my large computer monitor darl mode works well. On smaller screens, not so much.

@user-el8bh5ct7o 3 месяца назад

When I want to size any object, while the aspect lock is on (this is how I generally use it), when I enter the measurement value for width and length, another one changes automatically as the dimension. Why am I having this problem even though the aspect is not locked? Can you help me.

@mitchel9051 Год назад

nike I have a little problem, when scaling shapes or object it becomes very very very slow what should I do to resolve that issue bro.

When you open Inkscape, configure it to your liking. Then go to File/save template and check save as default template.

Comment is completely unrelated... been following Nick for a while. I am always working on my own logo trying to get something exciting and... I created something pretty cool but... it bothered me that it wasn't original enough. Looking at Nick's I see basically I'd copied his logo and didn't even know it. LOL. Worked on a iff one.

Thank you very much, you taught me everything about vector design and Inkscape since 2020. You’re a really good tutorial maker, you never fail and you rarely hesitate ; it’s good to follow a tutorial made by a professional. It can feel extreme but you really changed my life. Thanks again, Azertyuiop927
