In this tutorial we'll be going over how to use the Power Stroke path effect in Inkscape version 1.2.1. This effect allows you to apply a variable width to any stroke. It makes for a great tool when designing abstract logos and tracing line drawings from images.

Thanks for the video. One more thing to call it Game changer is the possibility to add control points of the effect by pressing CTRL+click on a point and thus create complex shapes very fast. Credit for this information goes to a video by Sweater Cat Designs.

Thank you Mr. Nick. You have been my Go-To for most of my creative tools and software. Just wanted to say Thank you!

@ace-catel Год назад

I was waiting and looking for a tool like this! I'm so happy Inkscape finally found a way to make it happen and added it!

@Evergreen64 Год назад

Thank you! I've been looking for an effect that can mimic hand drawn layout lines in pencil for years! And this does it perfectly.

@evionlast Год назад

Nick you have been so consistent on all your tutorials over the years, amazing!

@bim41337 Год назад

Thank you for this update on Inkscape's ... updates :D I really like how you're not just showing the tool and that's it, but instead you give a practical example. Very nice and illustrative!

@deesnuts5960 Год назад

After watching some tutorials for other programmes I had to get back here and give you a compliment. The way you exxplain things is exceptional, you never miss a step and even a person that has never done anything like this can easily follow the instruction. Thank you for that I've learned so many things from you and hopefully many to come as well. Keep up the good work man!

@karynhermans2358 Год назад

Hello Nick, I am basically a newbie to this Graphics world - coming from digitizing machine embroidery - with no graphics experience as mentioned. I followied other tutorials which were very helpful, but I just stumbled across your Tutorial. Wow, you are brilliant. This is what I was wanting to learn how to achieve this effect. Thank you. You have me hooked and I will be following you from now on. Many many thanks.

@godsunika Год назад

The comnt section is very positive and downright encouraging! Love it!

@franknord4826 Год назад

Neat. I haven't seen your tutorials in ages and recently stumbled onto your channel again. Also nice to know that I don't have to shift+f6 anymore but can just use b for the bezier tool. One thing tho: You don't have to press enter to end a bezier path - you can just right-click!

@soundpassion-africa2874 Год назад

This is great. I am new to Inkscape- and I'm loving it.

@bennieboi6720 Год назад

I’ve been learning from Nick since years ago, there is one tutorial I’m still remember, the one that teach you to clip the scenery with a hot balloon, he did a really great job at teaching, the smooth tone explain every bit of function is what you need on your learning path. If you’re new to flat design, give his master class a go, you’ll have more insight about how and what happen in every corners, which most designers will not have such patient to explain 😂

Thank you for the helpful tutorial. Yours are some of the best I have seen . I am using Inkscape 1.3 now and wondering what key combination to use to add additional points to the power stroke, so I can widen it some more at other points?

@squidwardfromua 3 месяца назад

Great! I was using "Pattern Along Path" which didn't allow to change the width in separate locations of path, so I had some hard time showing perspective/rotation of objects in 3D space. I've already tried, this is the cure.

That's just scratching the surface. That thing is so handy with digital inking where you want to control line weight with precision, and also great for creating glyphs in a custom font for the same reason.

@llwynogkitsune Год назад

Thanks for the tutorial! Is there a way to have the thickness of the stroke vary according to an underlying picture? Somehow a mix with what you did with the vector halftone pattern. That would look very cool!

@agarddrxppy684 Год назад

@d.lawrencemiller5755 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for explaining this. At 2:10 when you zoom in it actually makes it harder to see the pink point because the apparent thickness of the curve increases but not the thickness of the pink point. Also you keep saying path at times when I think you might have meant point. Unless I misunderstood due to the difficulty in seeing whatever you're saying is pink. I couldn't actually see anything pink but my screen is pretty small.

@pillsber Год назад

Nick, I'm a paid student of your academy and am very happy with the content. I'm primarily an Inkscape user but purchased the whole package. My question is, is Inkscape 1.2.1 worth switching to? I'm already familiar with 1.1.2 and not sure if it's worth moving over to 1.2.1. I don't need multiple page documents and I don't prefer the way the layers menu is in 1.2.1. However, no one has addressed this question anywhere and I trust your opinion. I would be delighted if you'd provide even a short answer. Thanks so much.

@moreorlesslikeso Год назад

Each time I'm watching your tutorials I'm positively amazed by what you can actually do in Inkscape. And each time I feel more disappointed (or even infuriated) about Inkscape’s notoriously bad performance on Mac. If this powerful app would only run as smoothly as its rival vector editors on my Mac (or as itself on PC...) I might possibly use it for most of my vector work. Up to now, however, it just keeps me getting unnerved after a while because of its sluggishness... Too bad, really!

@DASPRiD 9 месяцев назад

Fun fact, power strokes and similar path effects all came from Ponyscape, an Inkscape fork specifically meant to create MLP art :)

@susankniola5958 Год назад

Great video! Is there a way to save powerstroke settings and apply them to another path? I didn't catch if the values reset with each application.

@jktolford8272 Год назад

You can set default Power Stroke settings in the Live Path effects dialog. Also, it's useful to set stroke width in the Fill Stroke dialog.

@victorponomarenco6960 7 месяцев назад

When I try to adjust a line in Inkscape using the "Node Tool," I can't see the curvature changes as I drag the node control handles. Instead, I see a schematic blue line that appears to represent the desired shape of the curve, but doesn't actually affect the actual line.pls help me

@karimahmed9316 Год назад

Could you please advice how to get the full version and the evms!

@dwilliams21 Год назад

Nick, I tried upgrading to 1.2.1, but since the newly-conceived Layers/Objects combo menu no longer lets me adjust opacity and blur on the screen, I ditched it for 1.1.2 (or whatever the latest). I use it all the time in my workflow! Do you have a tutorial that can help me adjust? I don't want to fall behind! Thank you. :)

@jansonsynder Год назад

Awesome! Question. Is there a way to easily make a perfectly symmetrical swoosh? so you don't have to eyeball it?

@jktolford8272 Год назад

Do a horizontal line by clicking the start & end points. Define stroke paint & width, say a few points. Go into point edit mode, select both end points, then click on add point, which will appear at exact mid point. Select mid point, make sure it is a curve point w/ symmetrical handles. Grab a handle, move it away from the horizontal adjusting to taste. Then add the power stroke. Edit mid pink control point & mid path point to taste. Endpoints are eye balled but if you zoom in & place pink stroke control points on top of the original path end points that should be arbitrarily precise.
