Inkscape Tutorial: Simple Line Art Designs

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
  • In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how you can use Inkscape to create simple vector line art designs that could work great for t shirt designs, logos, monograms, and more. This tutorial specifically will be utilizing a sunny mountain landscape with pine trees as an example, but you can use this lesson to create any other type of design you’d like.
    We’ll be constructing the entire design from strokes and utilizing the cut path and combine features a lot throughout this tutorial.
    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.co...

      Welcome back! I have requested this before, but I've never seen you use my suggestion. Your tutorials are very helpful, but what would be the icing on the cake, is if you would stick the finished design in an empty corner somewhere for the duration of the video. Why do this? Often when you're setting up the early to intermediate steps for more complex designs, it's a bit hard to visualize what you're going for until the whole shape comes together. If the final product was there on screen to reference, it would make following along a lot easier (in my humble opinion). Thanks!

      @Ramarti Ottolina I know what you're saying, but it wouldn't have to be moved around constantly. Depending on Nick's workflow to produce his videos, after the screen capturing is done, the final image could be added using a video editor, shrunk down and layered on top of an unused or seldom used portion of the screen. But it's an extra step Nick might not want to do, and I can understand that. It could also be imported into the project file and stuck off to the side, but that might get weird when zooming in and out to work on details. Your suggestion to screen grab is good, and I may do that for times when I'm on my desktop/laptop, but I often watch the tutorials on the go using my phone or tablet, and for those times, that wouldn't work very well :-/

    How do you save your shirt design in inkscape to meet Amazon Merch Artwork Specifications
    To ensure your final artwork file will upload to the portal smoothly, follow these guidelines:
    Create your final artwork in RGB: This will produce a greater range of colors when printed on the different products.
    Output your artwork file at 100% of the print dimensions at 300dpi.
    Make sure your artwork file is no larger than 25MB. If you are using Photoshop, you can choose "Smallest File Size" in the PNG Format Options dialog to help reduce the final artwork file size

    Does inkscape have a higher resolution than gimp? Gimp paints nice lines as long as they are strait up vertical or horizontal but get very jagged on any other angle.

    No worries Nick. Really enjoyed this tutorial and although this can best be used for logos - I will experiment with this during comics class.
    For work I had to learn the Illustrator way, and now I'm looking into using scripts to do common (move, tilt or resize objects) as well as creative (place random, deform or resize random) tasks.
    What are your favourite scripts or 'automatic' tools of Inkscape?

    I'm trying to create a lady bug graphic. So I would like to take a red circle and put a small black circle on top of the red circle on the outside edge of the red circle so only half the black circle is on the red part and other is off. I then want to cut away the excess overhang so that when it's done I'm left with just a red circle (ladybug's body) with a half of a black circle (dot on ladybug's back). Hope that makes sense but the half black circle is basically a black dot that you can only see half of because the rest of it is hidden from view because it's being curved around the bugs body. So what I'm doing is I'm creating a red circle. Go to Object To Path to convert the circle to path, then I create the small black circle and Path -> Object To Path, then I select the red circle and press Ctrl + D to duplicate (for some reason this puts the black circle under the red circle) and then I shift click the small black circle and then go to Path -> Cut Path and it just makes the black dot invisible with selection handles around it. Nothing gets cut away like the water lines in this video. This would be a great help for this and other projects if I could figure this out. Thanks!

  • @sheaulle

    Why did you add nodes to the converted-to-path circle in the beginning? I seem to have missed it. 😅

    • @LogosByNick
      @LogosByNick  4 роки тому +4

      It has to do with avoiding an Inkscape glitch. Sometimes when you do a cut path on circles in Inkscape it corrupts the structure of the design. Adding nodes avoids that for whatever reason.
