Hi Nick! Thank you for doing this good Sir! Basically I wanted to learn Inkscape so that I can make my own design for when I will have a fiber laser, after watching about 20 of your videos here I have realised that you are going to be my teacher and I just bought the bundle from your website and I am so happy with the decision! again Thank you very much for all the effort and time that you've put in making this videos!
Coming from many years of raster work, if you'd asked me how to do drop shadows in Inkscape I would have gone up to the filters area...and probably would have been looking around for a multiply layer. Using "blur" in the fill/stroke never would have occurred to me. Thanks for teaching so well!
I know they are open source but Inkscape should sponsor you, you should be hired by their marketing team regardless... I have had Inkscape installed for quite a while(never used it previously, I know, stupid; who knew it was so easy and so good...), Illustrator for longer (never had the need to use it...until now!) only recently stumbled across your content (apologies!), and my whole family have learned so much from your tutorials. You are not selling us anything but a FREE skill set. Easy to follow, eloquent, precise and all the while being affable and personable. I love the fact that you repeat your 'standard' document setup and controls throughout each video. You do not talk at us, but TO us; a skill many Tubers need to learn. My son (11 years old) is producing team logos, squad and squad member badges etc. all using ideas that are seeded in the ideas your content provides. I have easily created, with your tutorials help, many useful logos, desktop backgrounds etc. Thank you... and much Kudos.
Thank you. I finally figured it out last night. At the bottom of the screen there was a dialog box with unset and set fill. I hit those buttons and played around with the spokes at the top of the page and that seem to fix the problem. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Super nice Nick! Btw could I suggest you or others that dont know, that ctrl shift + on a single object converts anything to path. It is quick habit. But anyway thks so much I learnt a lot of new stuff with ur videos n tips~
Great videos. Great videos that's what I have got to say. Thank you 4 sharing your amazing knowledge, you are are a genius. Your videos and tutorials are solid. Thank you and congratulations.
@LogosbyNick Great tutorial. I've always enjoyed the Material Design since Google introduced it to me years ago. I'm more of the straight lines and boxy type when it comes to this style. I will now have to explore circles and curves. I know this isn't an app you're designing but have you looked at Google's rules for Material design on the dev pages? Way more complex. Thank you for showing us this.
Great video! I have learned a lot watching your videos, thanks! Could I know how I get that beautiful black interface? Congrats! And thank you for greats videos!
Very good video. could you please tell me, how to make rules in inkscape, match the single vertex to zero. I mean that in illustrator you can, from the vertex of the canvas, drag the ruler to the object. Can i do it in inkscape?
Hey Nick, im a huge fan of your work. Since im trying to make money, I was wondering if i could make and sell some of your designs but will give you full credit for the work.
Hey, there's a new version of Inkscape (it's in Beta though). Nick, maybe you can do an overview of the new version soon. Just downloaded it and it now looks better, but I have yet to see how it works. :) Not sure I understood 100% but it seems they removed the feature of being able to import .ai which would be quite aweful. Great tutorial btw :)
I feel like it would've been better to use the bézier tool rather than the pencil for the curves. I mean, both work, but it's easier to make smooth curves with the bézier tool.
Hi Nick, I really like your tutorials, I've learned a lot through them. But for this one I have a question : I don't understand the sequel of those operations; i mean, I made the same looking material by making one cloudy shape, duplicating it with changed colours and slightly rotating them to get that wavy slopes. And then I duplicated them to Black, sent Black layer down and blurred it. When finished, I clipped it ti be square like yours. It saved me a bit time, but maybe it has some disadvantage? Could you pls tell me if my way is OK? Tnx
Thank you for the tutorial. I want to ask if there is a shorcut to make a shape placed behind another specific shape instead keep pressing "page down" several times. Like in Illustrator, we could select the shape/object we want to put behind another object and press Ctrl+X and then select the specific shape/object that will be on top, and then press Ctlr+B, it will paste the first object that we "cut" behind that object we want to be on the top (if I remember it correctly). Sorry for my bad english.
With x-mas around the corner, I'd love to see a inkscape tutorial on frozen or snow letters/logo. I didn't see any like it on your channel, unless I missed it
Well, Inkscape development is running they are working on Inkscape 1.0. And you can check this on the link: inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.0/?latest=1
1.0beta2 was released on December, 3rd, 2019 and current version on January, 16th, 2019. For more info about releases you can check wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Release_notes
Hello Nick. I love your videos. I'm having a problem. I was playing around with the stars tool and may have hit something by accident. Now the star tool is not working. Every time I select the star shape the star stays small and won't change in size or do anything else. I have been trying to fix this for 2 hours. Do you have any suggestions. Thank you
You have more than 1 options. If the curved shape is simple, just create a rectangle, convert it to path and edit the nodes (use the add node and make node smooth feature). For a more custom shape, use Bezzier pen tool. Watch this video in case you are not used to it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s-kPg4vYKfk.html It's Nick's video about how to convert image to vector.
After I've taken the square opacity down to ~50%, the following lines are also tied to that same opacity. When I raise the opacity for the lines, the square darkens too. How do I dis-associate the square opacity from the line opacity?
why are you not disclosing what version of inkscape you have? i mean i have " Inkscape 0.92.4 " and it looks noting like this, quite contrary the interface looks like something from 2007
This isn't about this video specifically (though I love this effect; I'll be using it a lot) I have a general question about Inkscape and can't find the answer anywhere. I have a dual monitor setup. In PhotoShop I have the tools on one screen, work on the other. I can't figure out how to unpin the toolbars and menus in Inkscape and move them all to a second monitor, and just leave the drawing space on my main monitor. Any tips or suggestions?
