If you want to learn more about how Inkscape works, I have a 50+ part video series where I explain all of the tools and features in Inkscape and demonstrate how they work. Here's the link if interested: logosbynick.com/inkscape/
Had issue with the union I think alot have changed over the years and some ways are different I guess Have you don't anything remotely related to this if so can you guide me there with a link ?
for Inkscape 1.1 and other recent versions: 6:43 : "break apart" doesn't do the trick, you should do instead : (1) Path > Stroke to path (2) Object > Ungroup (3) Path > Union this will help solving the "difference" problem at 8:40
@@AlexTognolo My pleasure! you have to learn Inkscape basics and functionalities and understand difference between "path" and "object" as well as the difference between "group, combine and union"
Hi..i'm inkscape newbie, was browsing some tutorial on youtube. Found your page and here i am.. 1.04 am, trying to make my own donuts. Great tutorial. I'm gonna explore your page. It really helps. Thank you.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but around 8:40 where you duplicate the dark brown object and then select the white ring before applying Path/Difference I am not achieving the same results. I'm using a newer version of Inkscape, so not sure if that is the problem or not, but when I duplicate the darker portion on top and select the inner white ring nothing happens when I apply Path/Difference. I ended up getting the proper look by putting the darker part you duplicate down two steps. Great tutorials by the way. I've completed a few of your tuts already and it's giving me a lot of confidence with the tool. Now I regret paying for a year license for Adobe Illustrator :P
I think it's something to do with the dark brown duplicate layer. When it was created and put beneath the lighter layer, it was then given a stroke > stroke to path > break apart > Union. Doesn't seem to like this layer after doing that. Instead I duplicated the lighter layer, changed to a darker colour, put it beneath it and then outset it a few times until it had the right thickness. Had no trouble taking the difference off after. Hope his helps someone because it was frustrating AF!
Incredible. Both explanation and example choice. Simple enough to understand but complex enough to introduce many of the tools a newbie should know. Thank you for this. It really helped a lot
This is one hell of a tutorial, thank you very much. I've opened up Inkscape a few times over the past decade and been scared off pretty quickly each time. I love that you get right to the point with everything. I didn't have a clue where you were going with the teeth mark object(s) but it really is a brilliantly simple/clever way of doing it.
I just followed you through this video, it's the first time I ever tried to make a vector image and after a few restarts, I finally got it, thank you!!
Hello, I truly appreciate your teaching! I am very new to Inkscape. I love art, so wanted to give it a try. I love it! I learned the neon sign from your tutorial and this donut. It was fun! I found out while I was working on the white ring, that if you blur it, it looks really good. The opacity can be to the max, but blurring it gives a really nice perspective to it. I just added one white layer of white on top, did the inset as you said, only once and blurred it. I am excited to learn more videos from you. Thank you, and God bless you!
Another Inkscape newbie here, I had to change from Windows to Linux because of my work and I was founding an alternative for Corel or illustrator and then I found this video! I think you have a perfect way to explain tools and software itself! I suscribed! Regards !
Many thanks. I really needed some quick inkscape tutorial to make vector arts for my project and I finally found this tutorial. Finally found everything I needed.
Wow, thanks a lot, man. I just started using Inkscape and you realllly answered a lot of my questions. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and teaching us
OMG you're so awesome!! I was going to ask you why do you did so many duplicates and I perfectly understand your idea at the minute 11:00 when you added the bite mark. I've never touched softwares like this, just Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, Ansis (engineering softwares) but I'll go to create a donut keeping this in mind. And I hope I could show you my work based on this tutorial
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL. I did everything step by step and i feel very proud of it!! It makes me feel motivated to continue doing vector designs. Thank you for your content!!
I found your page because I could not for the life of me figure out how to get my text to flip the right way when wrapping around a circle. 5 hours later and here I am. AMAZING CONTENT! Do you have any Social Media that we can follow to give you a shout out?
Great introduction to Inkscape, I've just begun, but I'm getting some troubles. In 6:50, when I go to path, stroke to path, and then, path, break apart, my donut doesn't do anything. Also, in 8:40 my donut doesn't do the difference...could it be a problem of the version? I got the last one. Thanks!
Hey - I'm just doing it too and having the same problem. I got round it by sending that second white ring down two layers so it's on top of the doughnut, but under the dark brown colour.
I did it!! But i dont know how to explain it in english, basically instead of press path/break apart (descombinar) i did left click in the shape, a menu open up, and press ungroup (desagrupar), and then path/union. I hope i explained well, it worked for me, wish you all luck!
For anyone else having that problem: you need to unclick a button in the "Snap Control Bar". (The bar is probably already shown, right under the status bar. If not, go to View --> Show/Hide.) Disable the "snap cusp nodes"-button.
I love your videos,man.Keep it up! Also,don't stop explaining every little bit of the things you do in your videos.(It's very helpful) By the way,you just earned a subscriber by yours truly,Sneaker Graal!
+Sneaker Graal Thanks for subscribing! Yes I intend to keep these tutorials as easy as possible so that any first-time user can watch and follow along.
Love the videos, great instruction. Only thing I have to pick at, as a professional graphic designer of many years myself, is OMG you over use duplicate. I don't see how you keep from ending up with a crap load of layers you don't even need. As someone who also works printing designs like this and has to do color separations, apply industry standard pantone colors, etc. the biggest PITA is getting in vector graphics that have tons of layers to make the design when they never needed all that... You can make this sort of thing a LOT more complicated than it is if not careful.
because of grouped object cannot perform any of path ...... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D0p1_epFQ4s.html => explanation. hope can help you.
Another great tutorial, but I've got a question. What is the purpose of go to: path stroke to path, break apart and union? And a little trick, all left tools have assign a letter and a F function, for example, to use the dropper tool you can press "d" on the keyboard instead of F7, letter "e" instead F5, "r" or F4 to rectangles, "t" to text (to replace F8), and finally "n" (F2) activate the editing by nodes tool. Thanks for your attention.
Great tutorial! I’m practicing in 2021, everything went well up until 8:40 apparently the Path-Difference effect doesn’t work and I couldn’t add the bites…but it’s a good beginners tutorial
Unfortunately many of Inkscape's functions have changed since I made this video, so some things may not work like they used to. If you download version 0.48 of Inkscape then it should work as expected.
@@LogosByNick oh okay thanks, I was confused I put hours to just do it some other way and I managed to do it without the outer border but then I got stuck on the bites 😅 atleast I managed to move out of one thing will try to work on that bite next hopefully,
Can anyone please tell me exactly what intersection,difference,union etc does!? I know something about them but i want to know their objective clearly,very clearly!!!!
This really is a great beginner tutorial! I'm a bit puzzled why when I hold control it doesn't work so well - perhaps it's the version of Inkscape I'm using. For example at about 14:45 when I held control the select rectangle moved everything up instead of just the node, but when I didn't hold control it worked just fine.
If anyone is having trouble with the CTRL+0 shortcut, for some reason my number pad on the right side of the keyboard didn't work (yes, I checked that num lock wasn't activated), but the numbers along the top of the keyboard worked.
