  • In this tutorial I'll be demonstrating how to create flat style vector avatar faces with Inkscape. This is basically an exercise in working with common shapes like squares, rectangles, and polygons. We'll also be supplementing with other tools, like the Bezier Pen and the Nodes tool, which will give us more granular control over the shapes of the objects.
    I've put together a pack of 12 avatar templates that can you can download for free and use however you'd like. You can download them here: logosbynick.com/12-free-flat-...
    Want to learn more about how Inkscape works? Check out the Inkscape Master Class - a comprehensive series of over 50 videos where I go over every tool, feature and function in Inkscape and explain what it is, how it works, and why it's useful: logosbynick.com/inkscape/

      @@folkieschannel I just bingewached a bunch of Nick's videos today, and looks like his channel is under a spambot attack, they always comment something like that under the top comment, then there's another comment confirming the first's story...I suggest to report them for spam, hopefully UA-cam will remove them, so they can't take advantage of Nick's awesome work. Also, make sure to not search the apps they recommand, it might lead to harmful sites.

    I love your teaching style! I have to speed up most videos on YT to 1.5, or 2.0, but yours is just right. Something that took me way too long to figure out was that to get the lighter color on the light reflection on the hair, you have to have the stroke style => width set to something high so you can actually see the line, mine was to 0.2mm (I'm new to inkscape :) ).

Because of "needs" I've jumped over to Affinity Photo & Designer and really hope/wish you could do videos on that software. It's 50% off currently so $25 and that includes free lifetime updates. No monthly fees no buying upgrade software in a few years down the road.
