      Hi Nick! Love these videos on Inkscape! I wish I had found them 2 years ago. I might be further along by now! Do you have any videos on how to use Inkscape to convert hand drawn images into vectors using Inkscape? I'd really like to be able to do that but it seems so difficult!

    I just wanted to say that I learn quite a few new things every time I watch a video from you about Inkscape. You seem to talk clearly enough that the auto-generated subtitles are mostly sane enough to follow. (I'm deaf)

    • @LogosByNick
      @LogosByNick  7 років тому +33

      Well that's good news. I didn't even know that there was an automated subtitles feature. Glad it's working out!

    really nice tutorials, but i did find it quite difficult to follow along with the current version of inkscape, trying to find how to enable snapping where for you it was on from the get go, object menu being a drop down and not a seperate row, buncha small differences which added up, eventually got through it, but would love to see an updated tutorial!

  • @danlloyd921

I had the latest version which was different than the tutorial one, but just had to learn the location of the actions to take with latest version to match yours. Great tutorial indeed!!!!!

    Thanks so much for your videos! I've been stumbling around Inkscape for years and you answered about 10 unanswered how-to's just in one video. I have just started using it to make custom labels and was thrilled to find out about the clone command! I will have to look into your library and see if you have any videos on labels and/or cloning. If you have a link to one - I'd love to watch one. It's your little tips that really help the most!

    Thanks for the tutorial! I did have lots of trouble with the last part though: I couldn't get any of the path tools to work, possibly because I didn't listen as attentively as I should have.. It seems I had done "Objects -> Group" instead of "Path -> Union" somewhere along the way. Well, lesson learnt!
