Quick video tutorial from 2Dgameartguru.com on creating simple game characters using basic shapes in Inkscape.
In this video, I will explain the creation of a simple game character and variations of it using only simple shapes like rectangles, circles, and pills. I am arranging, colouring, scaling, and rotating simple objects to create something complex that would be ready to export and animate.
Most of the functionality shown in the video can be created with other software tools such as Adobe's Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Inkscape with minor alterations and different names for the tools used.
See more Affinity Designer and Inkscape tutorials on the website at 2dgameartguru.com.
Here's the link to the hands tutorial I mentioned in the video:

I've been looking for Vector game art! I don't know why youtube never recommended your channel it's awesome! Thank you for the content ✨

@2dgameartguru 11 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoy it! I don't get youtube's search and still think it's probably me doing something wrong... but hey... I do this just for fun so it's all good ;)

the artstyle is so good, too bad that this channel didn't have many tutorial with this game character artstyle

@2dgameartguru 8 месяцев назад

Thanks! I have recorded most of the animation part as well as some more assets in that style but due to health issues, lack of time, and all those other excuses, I haven't yet finished those videos... but they are still on the list and getting closer to the top :)

@Ken10001000 Год назад

Thank you for sharing this, i enjoy your simplistic way of seeing things and designing. Re-using simple shapes to create so many different items. You are clever, artistic, and innovative. Much appreciated.

@2dgameartguru Год назад

You're very welcome! I try... and I seem to have my moments of cleverness... ;)

@wendyrose1134 10 месяцев назад

I love this. So much fun. I'm just learning Inkscape but I was fixated by your video. I'll be back. xx

@2dgameartguru 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it! I am [still] working on the animation part of this video - and am contemplating a new video with more characters/ animals, and objects done in that style.

@semedic1319 Год назад

Loved it! Thank you for making the sound more clear, too. Keep up the good tutorials!

@2dgameartguru Год назад

Thanks, will do! I am glad you liked it... and I have no idea what happened with the sound in the other video... Sadly, I can't just replace a soundtrack - unless I turn it to music only... RU-vid is not allowing edits... ;(

@adriano.santana 10 месяцев назад

Best Inkscape tutorial channel. 👌

@2dgameartguru 10 месяцев назад

Wow, thanks! I try... I don't get the big exposure and don't do the 'what's new' and 'tool focused' videos... I just like to have fun with the tool. :)

@teo2805 Год назад

Amazing. Looking forward to more of these! Subscribed immediately.

@2dgameartguru Год назад

Welcome aboard! I am glad you liked it. Maybe check out some of the older videos - and spread the word :) New videos are already in the pipeline. The recording part is easy, the editing, narrating, and condensing is the hard [and time-consuming] part ;)

This was great. Would love to see your character rigging and animation process in a video.

@@2dgameartguru Take care of yourself, we need more tutorials

@2dgameartguru Год назад

I try my best... It's sometimes out of my control as the progressive neural muscular disease I was born with shows its nasty progressive nature. It takes a while for me to adjust to the new levels of pain, the loss of energy, or motor function. It's a painful fight - but there is way too much fun to be had to give up ;)

@jennifersamith7773 Год назад

@@2dgameartguru You have such a great attitude and your art is so impressive. Not to mention how much you teach in your channel.

@2dgameartguru get better friend! Thank you for teaching us.

@srbig0des 13 дней назад

how do you fill a shape with other shapes, style I want to make a flowery shirt, I would like to put a bunch of identical flowers inside the shirt, how do I do that?

@2dgameartguru 9 дней назад

You select the shirt shape, make it a clip group and place the content inside that clip group. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i_bLoVlPZPE.html

hello, thank you for the tutorial, it would be really helpful if you told us the keyboard shortcuts you are using for people new to inkscape, at 5:28 i had no idea what you did.

@2dgameartguru Год назад

I didn't use a shortcut. I deleted one half of the nodes [delete key] and straightened the curve [Make selected segments lines in the top menu]

@BlueGemini42 Год назад

Thank you for the tutorial! I always look forward to each new tutorial you post and find them quite useful Would it be okay to use some of these tutorials for parts of Vectober/Inktober (following along with the tutorial and posting my result on Twitter)? I want to use Vectober/Inktober as a way to draw more to get used to Affinity Designer so I think following along to tutorials (at least at the beginning) would be a good way to start

@2dgameartguru Год назад

Thanks... and of course it's okay! Go ahead! Good luck... and let me know how it goes!

@technicianartist2565 Год назад

Awesome

@2dgameartguru Год назад

Thanks... I had a lot of fun recording this [a little less editing and narrating it ;) ]

@phantomx.t.v6610 9 месяцев назад

You should make a video on how to size your work before exporting

@2dgameartguru 9 месяцев назад

The follow up video is in the pipeline - 1/2 done... but the changes at Unity made me remove the development platform from my machine and I haven't had enough time to practice the character setup and animation in Godot. I might go back to Spine for the skeletal animation.

@phantomx.t.v6610 9 месяцев назад

@@2dgameartguru yeah I love Godot it’s amazing but I’m trying to learn how to use Inkscape and when I’m finished with a peace of work I can’t figure out how to size it properly

@tanoo69 Год назад

What colors do you use for background canvas?

@2dgameartguru Год назад

I set the page and the desk colour to 15% L to keep the focus on the art rather than have a very bright white background.

@sahanhasret Год назад

Hello, how can we convert the drawn characters into sprites? Like run, walk.

@2dgameartguru Год назад

Export to PNG. I would suggest exporting the parts and using a skeleton based animation tool [like spine, spriter, or dragon bones]. It's going to be covered in the next video ;)

0:56 what happened here? You didn't click anything and I can't see keystrokes

@fokeyjo Год назад

Hey... Looks far better approach than the other videos which all seem to do frame duping in inkscape to produce sprite sheets. For anyone wondering about the animation approach in the meantime, I found this video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vLDK0eHwsho.html) on doing it with unity, though I'm a bit unclear from that why you split it, as unity seems to rejoin it all again when you add the bones (but maybe you don't need the bones if it's reasonably straightforward?). But I'll have a go with it, see if I can figure it out. You have a great style and unique efficient approach. All the best 😊

@2dgameartguru Год назад

Thanks... I still have the animation video at the top of my todo list... I can do it in Unity as well, or Godot, Spine, Spriter or Dragon Bones.

@emoneydatruth1 Год назад

One more to add to the list is Synfig Studio and may be the best.
