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.
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~
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.
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.
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?
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!
@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.
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.
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
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 :)
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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?
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. ua-cam.com/video/s-kPg4vYKfk/v-deo.html It's Nick's video about how to convert image to vector.
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
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
You giving me ideas for a complete logo redesign 😊
I've never seen such good tutorials. I'm learning so many new things. Thank you for all your content!
I agree with you. Nick's tutorials make everything come to life and it's so cool watching it happen.

can you stop being so goddamn awesome for just a moment? love your videos
I made my logo with Inkscape, and looks great ❤
Love your tutorials Nick, with every videos you upload I'm becoming more familiar with Inkscape and Gimp, thank you very much.

Great video Nick, you always bring clear and concise tutorials that I can follow. Thank's.
Thank you nick, you are the best for me, i love the way to explain, i prefer watching your tutorials than netflix
Thank you Nick for elaborating the material design as simple as that. I really appreciate your efforts.
You are a genius man
What smart tips here! Thank you!
Nick delivers again. That was a really nice effect, and you made it look so easy.
It took me so long to learn in barely anything in gimp. You make inkscape so easy.
Another great video. Thanks Nick.

Could I know how I get that beautiful black interface?
Congrats! And thank you for greats videos!
It's Dark Theme. He has a page that shows how to install, it. If I find it I'LL post the link.
New version of Inkscape (1.0 beta) has that option: Edit-Preferences-Interface-Themes.
I have a tutorial for that here: logosbynick.com/inkscape-92-dark-theme-windows/
Your videos are so interesting! Thank you so much for all your hard work :>
@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've had a look at it. You're right, it is complex.
Hey Nick, thank you for amazing tutorials! Btw the portfolio link isn't working for me at the moment, just wanted to let you know :)
Versa-Visa? The object selected first then a design based on the desired placement within it. Thank you, Nick.
Thanks Nick. New to inkscape and loving your videos. Is there a tutorial for the custom view setup?
Thanksa
Yes, here: logosbynick.com/inkscape-92-dark-theme-windows/
astig!

Nick, how do you get the background pattern to wrap around the foreground shape?
what is the different between union tool and combine tool? btw I really love your videos.
that is so cool

Sorry for my bad english.
Yes, the Page Down key lowers and the Page Up key raises. The Home key raises objects to the top and the End key lowers objects to the bottom.
Can I download you videos for offline use?
Whats the difference between union, combine and group? Tnx..
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
Check the tool's settings at the top toolbar.
wonderfull
In your inkscape cours has projects creaging stuff like this?
厉害了老铁！👍
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.
gracias
You should try affinity designer.
Лайк не глядя
When I group, all the drop shadows disappear :( any idea why?

Unfortunately I don't think that's possible with Inkscape.
@@LogosByNick Bummer. Thanks for the quick response.
There hasn't been a new release of Inkscape for a long time. It seems that the development cycle has stopped. Where do we go to find it's replacement?
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

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?
Sounds like they got grouped together somehow. Try selecting them and ungrouping (control + shift + g)
nice
How do u download inkscape to the upgrade 64 bit mac version! Inkscape was running fine before i upgrade my mac to Catalina
I only downloaded Inkscape after upgrading to Catalina. Perhaps deleted and re-download? Mac apps are pretty robust about being nuked and reinstalled.
does anyone know how to use inkscape to create a curved shape? for example if i am trying to make a curved road
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.
ua-cam.com/video/s-kPg4vYKfk/v-deo.html It's Nick's video about how to convert image to vector.
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
It's version 0.92.4 with a dark theme and custom icon pack.
i draw the lines nice and smooth not intersecting, select them all the combine, then the lines intersect. Please help !!!!
Hi, I would love to improve my YT logo and give it some depth.
icon theme?
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
Lmao, we have the same logo😂 here’s a free sub
It's similar but I wouldn't say it's the same 🙂
I just realized that I took to much time making stars manually...
