Sorry for the lack of uploads lately. I moved recently and I've been really busy with client work too. Hoping to get back into a regular uploading routine soon.
You are the Best online teacher I have ever had. I can pretty much design anything that comes to my mind thanks to your tutorials. You deserve some break, no need to apologize. 😄
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 :-/
Amazing! I'm just starting out with inkscape and have been watching a lot of tutorials, none of them mention caps or alignment tools and those are an absolute game-changer. Thanks so much for this (and your other) tutorial(s)!
AAAAAAA My mind is BLOWN!! I was trying to learn this by myself and I couldn't find the controls I needed for my project! I still haven't grasped the hotkeys or anything!! I was layering shapes because I couldn't find just a plain circle tool! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Now I gotta redo my work... but this is going to simplify everything!!
Dear Nick, as always, a great video. A suggestion to the topic "Text -> Put on Path". If the text is centered first, it will also be centered directly on the path.
I just bought your mega bundle!!!! thank you so much! With the Upwork course and the logo Design, I couldn't say no. Especially for that price. I'll be sure sure to check out the other ones soon.
I hope it will be nice to know that even after more over a year after premiere of this tutorial it is still same useful and precise. I've just finished the lesson, many thanks Nick.
Thank you, I got fed up of trying to get my simple icons done from Fiverr and decided the Thanos way that I will do it myself. Great tutorial and great soundtrack.
Hey nick I have a request for a video!! Can you show us how to make a pair of dice??? I have this idea to make a logo out of dice and your style is exactly what I love!! Great videos man thanks!!👍🏻👍🏻
Perfect tutorial, I just have one question. Before such a multi-component object is exported, how should it be merged? Combine - Exported or Group - Exported? Thanks.
Man this turned out absolutely fabulous! 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.
Awesome - best teacher on RUclips 😎 would love to see you do some affinity designer videos, sadly my Inkscape is so buggy it crashes all the time, so I’m now learning to use Affinity designer.
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?
Great Tutorial. I would like to ask when you were doing the lines to make the water. Cuts you made on each line you did separately. Can you not click on each 'box' on all the lines and cut?
I’ve mentioned in other tutorials that your tutorial would be much better IF you added a colored “Halo” around the cursor (arrow). When the tiny cursor moves across the area so quickly, its difficult to follow it. When you touch a specific tool, it makes it easy to see it.
Good day nick.i wanted to know why u used cut path and combine in this tutorial instead of interest , union and difference for the operation. I just want to know the key differences thankss
Love your content!! Question, did you use cut path when making the "water" to keep the round ends on the line segments? I assume that since Difference would have been "quicker" but then the line segments would have had square ends at the cuts? Sorry if my question doesn't make sense. Lots to learn in Inkscape LOL
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
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.
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!
I’m trying to follow exactly what you are doing but you have tools on your screen that I didn’t get when I downloaded Inkscape. How do I get all of those?
Hi! I have used your tutorial before and with great success! I was wondering if there was a way to convert a design, let’s say made on procreate and make it into single line design using Inkscape? I have a Cricut maker and now I have the new tool which is a foiling tool but works with single line designs. I hope you read my comment! 🤞🤞🤞 Thank you for your great tutorials!

Logos By Nick No problem bro we understand. Coping that Gimp and Inkscape course soon.

Thanks for finding the time to do these vids, life is busy!
If this channel isn't the best RUclips tutorial channel, the I don't know what is.
TRUE!
Dude! This guy is the best teacher ever!
Amazing! I'm just starting out with inkscape and have been watching a lot of tutorials, none of them mention caps or alignment tools and those are an absolute game-changer. Thanks so much for this (and your other) tutorial(s)!
These tutorials are a great work of design in themselves. Simple, clear, elegant.
I am always using your tutorials, and never said thanks here... so, thank you a lot! Great stuff! You´re awesome!👊😉

Sensational. Once again, I learned several new techniques. Both in tools and design. Thank you!
Hi Nick, this is such a great tutorial. Combined with your Masterclass I really feel that I am making progress with Inkscape. Thank you!
You're great Nick thanks for your videos.
This tutorial is SO helpful! Thanks for putting out such great content.
Just discovered your tutorials and bought the class after the first one. I appreciate good teaching.
This was really fun to watch. I'm learning more about Inkscape, and this had some really helpful things in it.
Your videos provide better instruction than what I received at Eastern Washington University. Cheers and thanks!
Dear Nick, as always, a great video. A suggestion to the topic "Text -> Put on Path". If the text is centered first, it will also be centered directly on the path.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, it was a huge inspiration and a good way to practice!

Thank you, I got fed up of trying to get my simple icons done from Fiverr and decided the Thanos way that I will do it myself. Great tutorial and great soundtrack.
There new feature??
What a great tutorial! Thank you.
Fabulous tutorial. I'm new to graphic design and Inkscape. I'm planning to do POD, but this opens up many other options 😊
Just what I've been looking for... line art logos!!

You are the reason that I'm able to breathe in inkscape boy , Thank you so much 😀
Another great tutorial Nick, your videos are really helpful. I'm learning Inkscape. Keep enlightening me.

very fantastic video Nick
Thanks a lot. I have got a many tips for managing my paths! YOu did a perfect job!
Why do have to to duplicate the ring before cutting of the excess water lines?
So Great. Mine is 1.0.1 version. Hard to keep up with your pace but still I learn lot.
Chiming in to add my thanks! Your work is incredibly helpful
love!
That's nice logo :)
Always a learning pleasure. Thanks Nick 💣
Perfect tutorial, I just have one question.
Before such a multi-component object is exported, how should it be merged? Combine - Exported or Group - Exported? Thanks.
Man this turned out absolutely fabulous!
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.
Great video, found this really helpful
Super clear and informative, thanks so much!
Thanks for nice tutorial.
Once again great tutorial 👍
wow this is amazing tutorial, thank you a lot!
First comment from Brazil!!!
Amazing work Nick!
That was a good design!!!
Educational Video. R u teaching art in school with GIMP & INKSCAPE? Your videos gives INSPIRATION to art lovers with computer.
Awesome - best teacher on RUclips 😎 would love to see you do some affinity designer videos, sadly my Inkscape is so buggy it crashes all the time, so I’m now learning to use Affinity designer.
love your tutorials, this is an amazing one. thank you for sharing.

What are your favourite scripts or 'automatic' tools of Inkscape?
Great Tutorial 👍
Thanks sir🙏🙏🙏
That was awesome!
I remember one of your earlier videos where you said you don't really know what is cut path option is for!. Now look at that
Wow thank you 🙏!!! This has helped me heaps !!!
awesome as usual
you are the beeeeeessttt
Great Tutorial. I would like to ask when you were doing the lines to make the water. Cuts you made on each line you did separately. Can you not click on each 'box' on all the lines and cut?
Thanks!
all ingenious is simple
Great tutorial as usual bud, thanks! I've noticed you almost always bring opacity down to 50% on objects - what's the main reason for that?
I like to be able to see through objects to see where they intersect with other objects.
A great ‘gambit’!
Beautiful logo
great tutorial as always! I also admire your choice of fonts. They always look and work just great.
Could you advise your list of preference?
Some of my favorite fonts: Montserrat, Lato, Avant Garde, Acre, Microgramma, League Gothic
Really, beautiful Work thanks a lot .
Thanks for this video!
I’ve mentioned in other tutorials that your tutorial would be much better IF you added a colored “Halo” around the cursor (arrow). When the tiny cursor moves across the area so quickly, its difficult to follow it. When you touch a specific tool, it makes it easy to see it.
Can you please share with some basic earing jewelry design for laser cut?
2nd comment from Brazil!!!
*Man! **_U ARE HUGE!_** Thank u so much!*
Great video
💯 salute.
Can you please give the custom interface.
Like the buttons are different in this tutorial and I like them.
Thanks
really Thank you for this all!
Good day nick.i wanted to know why u used cut path and combine in this tutorial instead of interest , union and difference for the operation. I just want to know the key differences thankss
yes
Muy instructivo, gracias 👏
God damn, thank you

Amazing video!
But my inkscape doesnt look like that
LOL

Merch artwork ?.sell on Amazon??
the best videos
Great as always!
Why did you add nodes to the converted-to-path circle in the beginning? I seem to have missed it. 😅
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.
@@LogosByNick Great to know, I had issues with that before. Thank you! :-)
@@LogosByNick it also happen to me at version 0.92.4.
Now i try to beta version 1.0, i never faced again. 😃

So underrated.. i very happy find your channel
What's the difference between 'Cut path' and 'Difference' ?
1.If we have to cut the circle , we said that add a rectangle + select two+ intersection and difference?
2. Cut path?
Can we use both methods?
I’m trying to follow exactly what you are doing but you have tools on your screen that I didn’t get when I downloaded Inkscape. How do I get all of those?
Hi! I have used your tutorial before and with great success! I was wondering if there was a way to convert a design, let’s say made on procreate and make it into single line design using Inkscape?

Thank you for your great tutorials!
22:59 is that the only way to get the text on a curve? Menu > Text > Put on path ? im used to a lot of flexibility in illustrator.
