    Just bought your complete course bundle a few days ago! Thanks to you I got the hang of Inkscape and I designed a few logos and even a birthday invitation. Now I want to know the program from a to z. Thanks for all your educational efforts!

    For those of you who have not bought his class....trust me...It's worth every penny!!! I've purchased it and I learned so much. Nick is amazing at teaching this stuff. Trust me...you won't regret it. If I was smart, I would have bought the Gimp class as well as Inkscape and gotten it cheaper. But live and learn. You will learn a lot. No regrets. 😁🥰

    You don't have to make the edges vertical or horizontal to extend the nodes, you can do it simply by holding down alt+ctrl while dragging the selected nodes.. great tutorial as usual :)

    Part of the fun is there are so many other ways to achieve the same result (and in approximately the same time). For example, when I want to center just a handful of objects I sometimes set the align reference to "selected area" (bounding box).

    Hello Nick, ty for all your videos. I have a question for you. I am working on a project (fictionnal World of Warcraft website) and i am trying to figure a simple way to create a logo for that website. I have an idea in mind but i've never really done a logo before (i am trying to learn by watching your videos !).
    The logo would represent a shield made of wood and metal and kinda respect the design of ingame shields (the shape can be round, a decagon, or shaper to look more threatening). I want the shield to be simple but still aesthetic, and it would be great if the shield had cracks or fissure on it. However, I have no idea how to design cracks or fissures. How would you proceed ? I don't want the shield to look too modern (i've seen modern representations of shields for gaming websites, but i kinda want my shield to look more ancestral and tribal, or at least give this feeling)
    Thank you !

    Is the private community only for those who purchased your course? I've had your logo course for a while and I've recently purchased your other courses but I never seen a community to join. Is inkscape really free or is there a paid version? If so which one have more benefits free or paid?Where can I download inkscape and is there an app? I've looked it up and there's various sites so I can't tell which one is legit. 🤔

    • @LogosByNick

    The problem with all of these updates to a complex program like Inkscape is that they make obsolete all of the earlier "How to..." tutorials. I'm new to all of this, so my v 1.4 screen looks quite a bit different than Nick's 1 year-old tutorial (v 1.2?) shows. The differences confuse the daylights out of me. It's not Nick's fault, just an artifact of the frequent changes to the app by the developers.

    • @dwm1433
      @dwm1433 Месяц назад

      Late reply I know, but I think I had this problem yesterday; I would click on each segment I wanted in the shape, and it would create alot of nodes, and I couldn't shape the corners of the wineglass into curves. Turns out that I was supposed to select the segments while holding down the mouse button the whole time, rather than individual clicks. And then it worked fine. Hope that helps, but you probably already got the answer, since it's been three months.
