I like the fact that he started talking about raster graphics and vector graphics instead of just jumping into the interface without any context. Not only did he explain Inkscape in 5 mins, he also established himself as a reliable instructor
I used this software very superficially in a graphic design course in high school, and the first impression it gave me was that it was a mediocre program, but watching more tutorials about it, learning and increasing my interest I realized that Inkscape can be an extremely professional level tool. Watching this video and discovering yourself at the same time has opened my eyes to how powerful Inkscape is. Thank you. [Translated by google, my english is not very good]
I don't think I'll ever make money with graphic design (doesn't seem compatible with my career, but you never know) but I bought your master class because I appreciate your effort to promote this free (as in speech and as in beer) software and help people get the most out of it. We need more people like you. I've been enjoying the course a lot, too. Already learned plenty of features that I never dreamed existed.
Tell you what Nick, you da man! I have been watching garbage tutorials on inkscape and suddenly you ended up in my feed, really well presented, helpful and god damn perfect for me.
This video has excited me like hell.. My only regret is to not have started learning it right from beginning of lockdown due to corona... I could have learnt so much in these 3 months.
Inkscape and PowerPoint is a great team 😁👍🔥 .svg power. Thanks Nick, I enrolled and viewed all of the lessons in your Inkscape Masterclass 👍 super awesome
This is awesome. I couldn't afford or justify illustrator for my needs (personal logo design for my company as well as labels, stickers and ads ). So I chose inkscape. I know the basics just from converting the knowledge I have from simular programs, but your guides have been able to take that to the next level! I'm getting more confident now and creating is becoming easier. I've got a functional though simple logo that suits my needs. I've also been able to make attractive looking labels for my products and streamline editing those. So thanks again for the guides!
Nick, Long time Inkscape user here. I use it to design files for vinyl cutting and CNC machines and a many other things. I always learn something new from your videos. Thanks for sharing
Must say, you are amazing. I started using Inkscape when I was 17 or so, and lost grip on it completely, recently I got back to it and your videos helped me a lot. I designed my own firms logo, and use it on a regular basis to creat banners, and advertising art works and what not.
very nice introduction. I was given Inkscape by a graphic designer friend, and I have no idea what I'm doing. I'll be following you from now on!! Thank you for sharing your success.
Thank you so much! I used to use Adobe for school but the monthly payments killed my wallet. I found inkscape and had no clue how to use it but this video helped loads! Thank you!
Not bad. I'm beginner using Adobe Illustrator and i try Inkscape before, but i was not into it because there was no good tutorials to follow up. Your tutorials are really good and I'm subscribing to learn more how to use Inkscape.
I have been using Inkscape on and off for the past five years and I just learned all of it in literally the four minutes of your video. I look forward to seeing more informative content.
Just enrolled in all your lifetime access complete bundle courses!!!!! For $39 it is the best offer out there for teaching me how to use these graphic design tools. I am super excited because your work speaks for itself. Can't thank you enough. I have used so many of your tutorials for so much of my designs. You are hands down the inkscape expert. Hopefully I can get there with your courses! Cheers Nick!
Man, you have been my mentor all this while. Always love your contents. I am serious dude. I really want to get myself dirty with inkscape vector designs. And I wish life could have given average guys like us bucks palliative, then, I must confess, your inkscape Masterclass could have been the first class on my masters. I believe life may change, it surely will change someday. Keep up the fine work dude. Appreciate a million miles to the top of mount Everest.
Hi there! Your video helped me out a lot!! Thank you so much!! :D Commenting to boost the algorithm so people can find this video when they are having the same issue! :)
Hi nick, I'm using inkscape for one week, after 7 years of Adobe software. Very good software, I'll watch your tutorials in these weeks. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for putting all of this together... I am also learning Design Space and someone told me that I might find Inkscape more to my liking... Once again.... time to get ahold of a fresh pad of paper and couple of new pens, start binge watching and taking notes.
So much value in these videos. Wow! . . . Thank you so much. I really appreciate this. You're doing us all a great service. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you for this, I really needed a vector drawing tool, can't afford Illustrator anymore.. THANK YOU and I look forward to your tutorials, this is a great start to familiarizing with this product!
This is a great brief introductory topical video. Having viewed this only after seeing many of your others, I regret not being able to have watched this first. I love using Inkscape, but it is the most fully featured free software I've experienced. I'll be watching for more 🎥 👀
That one example from 0:00 - I just started to play with masks in GIMP, separating RGB from the alpha channel, etc. Masks are pretty powerful. And in this Inkscape video in the beginning, instead of redrawing the whole shapes, I would use a simple mask, by copying the whole text, grouping them together, coloring them white, and use them as a mask for the underlying original text. With this you can easily add these hole effects for characters like "S". I can imagine, making a 7-sided star, but only the stroke from it, 40px big, converted with "stroke to path". And in the middle of this quasi stroke, the same star, but only 10px thick. This one will be a transparency mask, going from opaque at the edges, to full transparency in the middle. This way you can draw your own shapes for gradients with transparency.
It was the fastest subscription of all the time. I just watch this first video in your channel and decided subscribe. And it was just on time, cause my Adobe Trial period ends tomorrow, hahahaha! Many thanks man!
I was leaning towards Affinity Design since I already own Affinity Photo but after seeing the recent update of Inkscape I feel like it’s the better and more developed platform and I actually like the UI and features better and the crazy part is that it is free. I’m convinced. Thank you for the tutorial also.
Started using Adobe Illustrator back in 1985, now giving up on ADOBE. The INKSCAPE interface is a bit mysterious. Hoping your tutorials can make the transition go smoothly. Thank you!
I've been a sign maker for more than 30 years, and Inkscape is my favourite vector tool. After using Corel, Illustrator, Freehand and even FlexiSign; I find the vector tools of Inkscape the fastest and easiest to use of them all. The only bad thing is It's not good to use directly with vinyl cutting plotters, CNC routers, big format printers or laser cutters. But imports and exports a great deal of formats. Otherwise, a great program that has improved a lot since Its early versions. And under Linux - I've Linux Mint at home - is even faster than on Windows.
Oh YEAH!!! You da man! I can see that I'm gonna learn a OT and be able to design th estuff I see in my mind's eye by watching your videos! Thank God I found youjust when I need this the most. This video was informative, inspightfu, inspiring and well-paced - couldn't ask for more. def subbed!
Wow, how nice of you to make a beginner's playlist. I just assumed I had to find the vids myself, thanks for mentioning it in this video. I Love your videos so far.Thx
Hi, Nick! I'm very glad that I chose this video to watch from the all Inkscape videos out there. It was a very interesting, rich in information and very pleasant to watch and listen. Great overall experience! I'll be checking out your content, I hope you don't mind :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a kind way.
Oooh, this looks great, just subbed and I've never used this kind of CAD before so I'm going to try your beginners stuff and check out your course...cheers
Thanks! Once I find the time this is something I'd like to learn. I've been studying and using Photoshop for years and would like to learn something about vector art. I looked at your master class page... Incredibly affordable at $17.
wow you even explained how to make the software look the same as it does on your screen. just to make it easier for some viewiers like me, cant really express how much i appreciate this. thats a true rarity imo. often its just like "and now you go there and do this" **looking confused at my other screen** where is this?
Thank you. I think that your channel may be exactly what I need to get started with this piece of software. I have ZERO experience with Illustrator and Vector Graphics. I'm also unable to draw a straight line. We'l see what happens.
![I Replaced ALL my ADOBE APPS with these [free or cheaper] Alternatives!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/5EfqHg49kMk/mqdefault.jpg)
I like the fact high quality tutorials exist for free and open source software. Great work, Nick!
Exactly why the internet is such a valuable resource. People are awesome! 👍
channel should now be "Inkscape Guru" lol
@@UmbraVivens94 xD
actually the best tutorials are for the free and open source softwares, see Blender for example
people whom worth to support!!! ❤️

Learning _english_ and *graphic design* at once, thanks Nick.
Ikr. His voice is great for narration.
Same here
True ! his English is great and clear
Vamos!
One dislike probably an Adobe employee
yeah
more like Adobe's boss
23 Adobe employees till now😂
@@rajeshrn8331 Maybe the dislikes will go back down as they get laid off due to covid.
adobe salty that open-source software is superior to their $30/month products
The way you structure these tutorials along with your voice and tone is just amazing in my opinion.
The perfect Inkscape tutorials.
I'm here to tell you that your existence help me go though the tough times.
Thank you.
Thanks, Nick. I've viewed every video and have enrolled in your Master Class, which I revisit frequently. Your tutorials are a treasure!
Thanks for the support!

Something about the tone of voice that makes me (a total beginner) feel like I can learn how to use Inkscape. Thanks, Nick.
