Hey, nick. I think your tutorials are really helpful and more people deserve to know about them. I strongly reccommend you make your channel more public in some way, posting it in a design blog, subreddit, even making a channel trailer. Cheers!
Thank you. I've been trying to think of ways to promote the channel more, but I'm a little apprehensive about posting it on other websites as I don't want to come off as spammy. All of the channel's growth over the past year that I've been doing this has been organic. I'm sure I could ramp things up a little more if I reached out and collaborated with other large design influences. Just have to come up with a plan and figure it all out.
Is there a way to set your defaults to a custom setting instead of having to set your defaults every time you start up Inkscape? When I set my Default settings then close down Inkscape and reopen I then find that all of my previous settings are wiped out completely.
Hi Nick, I know this is an older video and i followed a lot of your logo making video's back in the days, so i got a little more familiar with inkscape since then, so thank you for that. Today however i stumbled over a problem, i am not able to fix. I would like to print out a fret-board for a lap steel guitar on an A4-size document in landscape orientation. As you know the frets on a fret-board of a guitar get narrower the closer you come to the bridge, that is where your hand would pick the strings. So i had a calculated list of the exact distances for those frets online. So i started drawing just simple straight vertical lines with the distances from that list. I started with a guide line at 0 mm the next real line at 33 mm, the next on 63 mm from zero etcetera, to end up on the twelfth fret, witch is exactly one octave higher at 91.5 mm. Next step was to save the file and print it out. Unfortunately the print out was not correct, the lines where somehow cropped. The distances from the left page border where completely off. I have tried everything, from grouping the lines, save as pdf , png, loading the svg into a libreoffice word document, no margins etcetera. Nothing seems to work. So my question is do you know how to print lets say 10 vertical lines at a specific different distance from the page border, and then print them as they where drawn in Inkscape. Your help would very much be appreciated. Greetings from Belgium. Jean
Ur an awesome instructor. U solved my issue within 10 seconds of this video and even mentioned business cards which is what I am doing. I did a pdf image and not an png file....ah thank u Nick!
So many great tutorials on GIMP and Inkscape, thank you for making some helpful videos! And you get right to the point which is awesome, im learning very quickly!
Thanks for the tutorials. I really like it when you give the use case examples instead of just giving a bare minimum description. Good stuff. I have a suggestion for your video description of your simple line art design tutorial. When I started with that tutorial, I got kinda got stuck at the start when I couldn't figure out why your Inkscape work area didn't have the visible rectangle. I was worried about the output formatting not being right since I didn't know what you had set for your work area, as well. I had to search for a bit to figure it out. Maybe include a link to this video in that video description and all your other Inkscape tutorials starting without the visible rectangle to help beginners avoid this confusion. Thanks! P.S. The object at 5:32 I didn't think was ugly. Before you called it ugly in the video I was thinking to myself how kinda cool it looked. LOL.
Thanks for all your tutorials Nick, you make it very easy learn and understand. Just started to get into web development, graphic design and other aspects of tech and I am completely falling in love with it. Can't believe I didn't get into this earlier! I've realized I have a true passion and capability for this. I wanted to ask, what do you recommend to do in order to get some type of course to cover, front end and back end web development. I want to either find an affordable school or online courses/resources, just don't know the best route to go. would you be able to help me out in this?
This "Inkscape explained" series is really good, thanks for that. At around 11:00 there the axonometric grid is at 30 degrees and not 45, right? The interface has 30 written there, and I am assuming that is the angle you are talking about. Also, the lines do not look like they are at 45 degrees, really. Another question: bleed? I was hoping to see that mentioned here. It's something that concerns print people more, I know, but it would be useful to know.
Just ran across your videos and they have been very helpful. Thanks for putting in the effort to share your knowledge. My question is on page formatting. If I set the size to 16" x 20" will it print out on 8 1/2" x 11" paper at 1:1 scale. How does this work? Thanks again for all your effort. I think I am going to learn a lot.
Hey Nick, I can't find anything online about putting an actual border around a small label design, or making a stroke with a bit of thickness in the exact size and shape of the document's page boarder placed exactly right so that it creates a perfectly balanced border for the label. I can't figure it out. Always looks uneven, not centered, or the wrong size. Gotta be perfect, all three.
Hi Nick, I downloaded the last version of Inkscape (I have Windows 10 and 65-bit system) but it looks completely different to your interface. All menu buttons look very different. Is that because your computer is Mac? Do you know why?
Hi Nick, thank you so much for your videos, they just saved my relationship with inkscape "^^ But I do have one question: I know that in Indesign (or was it illustrator? one of both adobe programs...) there is a function that allowes you to see just what is within the border, so that you can see just the thing that will be printed and blends everything else out... Is there a function in inkscape like this too?
Hope you should be familiar by now. Inkscape 1.0 has introduced these features. Both Split-View Mode and X-Ray Mode will take care of these. Hope that helps.

Oh, gosh this is a fantastic video. You are easy to follow! You are a natural teacher.
Thanks!
i should have just followed inkscape explained from the beginning, everything is so clear now. thanks

Thanks for making this video

Very Helpful
Thanks for awesome video
You are the best man .. THANKS A LOT

THANK YOU
Hey. Just so you know: the axonometric grid is at 30 and 60 degrees, not 45.
Hey Nick,
Great videos.
Is there any reason you use v0.48? for the tutorials?
Do you use this for productions as well?
Thanks

Hi Nick, I downloaded the last version of Inkscape (I have Windows 10 and 65-bit system) but it looks completely different to your interface. All menu buttons look very different. Is that because your computer is Mac? Do you know why?
You probably know this already, but he's using LINUX with his own custom icons ... AFAIK.
If you save your artwork off of the page and you were to save it, will it only save what was inside the page
as always, thank you for sharing

Hi Nick, thank you so much for your videos, they just saved my relationship with inkscape "^^

Not that I know of, sorry

Too bad this great video is not about the Windows version of Inkscape.
John Paravantis it is Windows version, he just has his toolbars custom.
He's using it on Ubuntu but it should work the same on Windows
