You can know a lot about something, but the ability to communicate that information in a clear way is almost a superpower within the reach of few 😁 Thanks so much for the video 💯
I've been searching for beginner videos and the presenters are sooooo annoying... you are easy to listen to, just normal and easy to understand, and don't skip over things because they're just obvious to you. Thank you!
Thank you for assuming we know nothing. I really needed this tutorial. I was getting frustrated and was having a hard time following other tutorials. I don't have an art background so many of the terms are brand new to me.
Always feels better to see fellas helps each other who wants to switch their environments from all painful paid apps to free wonderful open source environment. Thank for this quickstart guide
Thanks!! That’s one of the main goals of this channel- to share info and help people get their design projects made without using subscription model software.
I was hesitant about clicking this video due to the length, but I'm so glad I did. The way you explain everything enough to get a decent understanding while keeping an enjoyable cadence made it breeze by. Very easy to watch. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
Hello, yes, you get right to the source and make it super easy to follow and understand. The one thing that could be easier to follow is making the cursor more visible to when you're moving, e.g, to the corners, top etc. I would lose you and needed to reply video few times. I'm sure it's probably more visible on computer but not on the phone. Thank you!!
waw, the length of this video had me postponing watching it several times at first... but once i started watching, i couldn't stop. even more impressive than your knowledge of Inkscape is your ability to explain it clearly with just the right amount of information, not toot much, no too little. i'll definitely come back to this channel for the other videos and tutorials. thanks so much.
I watched this video yesterday, then downloaded Inkscape. I tried to make a simple svg, and failed. I took a nap, came back to the video, and about 30 to 45 minutes later, I made that svg. I tried it in Silhouette Studio and it worked! Today, I watched your Bezier Pen video. I made an svg of an elf, with 6 attachments. It also worked. I'm having fun. Thank you! Watching more of your videos.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I had watched other tutorials of Inkscape before and I was almost scared of the terribly complicated tool. But with your tutorial, this tool seems to be amazing and I'm confident of illustrating my children's picture books with this. Once I'm done, I'm going to send you the illustrations. You have a talent for teaching and a passion for Inkscape. Thanks again.
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I only ever used Inkscape for vectors. I knew it could do a lot more and discovering your channel has been a godsend. The way you demonstrate and communicate these videos is engaging and easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing. Working my way through your whole playlist and enjoying every minute.
This has been the best video so far that I have come across to help learn Inkscape. Your pace and coverage was excellent and you don't have a droaney voice that can put a person to sleep 5 mins in. I have been trying albeit not very hard to learn this program and now feel I am making some progress as computers are not my thing. Thanks for the tutorial and I will be watching many more of your videos.
OMG!! Thank you so much for this video. The way you explain everything is so clear. It's the first time I try to learn how to design, and it seemed so complicated at first. But with your video it was so easy to understand everything. You really have passion for this. Thank you again!!
Comprehensive inkscape tutorial I have ever found in RUclips. Thanks very much I am currently learning inscape and RUclips Just suggest me your tutorial very thanks and I am currently wishing to make inkscape my priority on Archviz presentation purposes. Some thousand day I will learn coding in inkscape so I can integrate it with blender so I can get complete package of 2D and 3D and get rid of the dependence on Adobe and autodesk.
HELLO, I HAVE INKSCAPE THAT I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO USE, RIGHT NOW IT'S CONFUSING, YOUR TUTORIAL IS GUIDING ME TO LEARN SLOWLY. THANK YOU. I CAN GO BACK TO SEE IT.
Wow! That is a lot of information for a newbie like me. I will have to save and rewatch (a few hundred times no doubt ) but thank you, very informative😯🤣
Thanks so much!! I began filming an update to this, but now that 1.4 is getting close- I think I’ll wait for the new release. Anything in the new tutorial you’d like to see in particular?
I am new to inkscape. I found it while trying find a way to one, design decals for my hobbies and then be able to send them to Cricket or print on decal sheet. That lead me to your site. My first try will be to take a Jpeg and try to manipulate it with nodes to clean it up. Thanks so much for these videos. I am slow to learn and being able to stop and try as I watch will help.
Really like your tutorials. The voice over is great, tone, inflection, etc. Makes it very engaging to listen to! As well as you get right to it, that is so appreciated. Thank you very much. It makes me look forward to watching many more :)
Wow, so glad i found your channel. Completely understand what your saying. No disrespect to anyone else. Very easy to follow along and grasp. Thank you.
Great video! thank you for the calm explanation. As I followed along I was able to understand what you were point out and kept going "Oh! thats where it is" Lol
This is so crazy, feel like I’m in school, thank you so much for helping me to learn Inkscape with so much details. Sorry for the orthography, I’m French 😊
Just found your channel after downloading Inkscape and needing to quickly get through the noise to the essentials. Just watched another of your videos and found this one - haven't tried working in vector graphics in over a decade and need a refresher badly. Also, I have to figure out how to import hand-drawn stuff and trace it in Inkscape to make it cleaner and scalable, but first things first: This video. Looking forward to it!
Thank you, @@IronEchoDesign - I just found one of your videos that's focused on Trace Bitmap and it answered some of my questions, at least the theoretical ones. I've been cramming my brain full of tutorial videos but need to actually *make* something. If I understand correctly, once I've traced and have a vector, i can use the paths and/or the bezier pen to tweak the resulting image? For example, I have a tree I drew in either FireAlpaca or Sketchbook, and the trunk is definitely too short. I can stretch it vertically after doing trace bitmap, but I am guessing I can just *alter* the trunk. The other thing I'm wondering about may betray a fundamental lack of understanding on my part: Is there a symmetry button or mode for drawing new stuff in vector? It's fine if there isn't; I can do horizontal symmetry in my other programs, but it would be really nice if I could find a symmetry mode for actually drawing and improve workflow. To avoid getting overwhelmed , I searched a little bit and didn't find anything and stopped looking, but I often find that the terms I use aren't the terms that graphics programs use for the same operations and functions. Anyway, thank you for responding and for all your content!
Thanks so much again, and same here! I love experimenting with Inkscape and seeing what it can do. Let me know if there is something you want to see in future tutorial.
Hi, great video tut, easy to follow and understandable. Please can you help with where I can reduce the image file size as I keep crashing Inkscape with large file sizes. Thank you.
Thank you! I crash Inkscape with big images probably too often. Do you have Windows? Open your image with the Photos app and at the top center menu, click the 3 dots. In the dropdown choices you'll see "Resize image". There you can reduce the file size so it will be easier for Inkscape to handle. Hope this helps!
very concise, I wanted to figure out how to make a doble stroke pentagram I use to draw with illustrator I have switched to Inkscape and Corel, thank you
Hi Rick, thankyou so much for your videos they have really helped me to get going in inkscape. Please coud you do more on the filter editor as I have no idea what I'm doing in there. Your watercolour video on it was very helpful but anymore tips would be greatly appreciated.
Useful. Well done presentation. Clear and easy to grasp info. Also found this video trying to convert images into vectors. Thanks for sharing your skills and time friend. God bless you continually 🙏🏼 SUBSCRIBED and will SHARE📝📲
I just discovered your YT channel tonight. Thank you! I was still using Ver 0.92. So glad I learned about 1.2 from your video. Although I downloaded a version long ago, I've never had an opportunity to work with it until today. I'm still trying to figure some things out, and it helps how you've brought up some similarities to Photoshop. I'm trying to quickly produce a log that I have in PNG, but I can't figure out how to cut my image in half. The logo is like a compass rose, with a gradient circle under it. I figured out how to create a 4-pt star and modify the node to make the star 4 skinny rays. I duplicated it, rotated the duplicate 45 degrees, and shrunk it down so I had 4 cardinal and 4 ordinal points. I created the gradient circle on a separate layer. The one thing I just haven't been able to figure out is how to cut it in half from North point to South point, then delete 1/2 of the N and S points, and everything through the eastern hemisphere for both the star points and the circle below. I would appreciate a quick tip!
Wow that was a lot, but here I go to learn a vector program. (I work at a public Maker Space in Ann Arbor Michigan) We have shifted from Corel to Inkscape to help our members save money. and I'm the non computer guy....
I am totally new to Inkscape let alone Vectors and everything this wonderful program can achieve. Your tutorials are fantastic. Clear to understand and so informative. I am slowly building up a simple understanading of what this program can achieve. Congratulations on your wonderful and clear videos. Thank you so much. My reason for downloading and using Inkscape is to create SVG's to use in Cricut projects. I want to take a photo of a long coated dog and create a simplified SVG design. Is this something you could do a tutorial on or is it too simple a project for your audience. Thank you once again. 😄
what needs to be done in this case is known as "tracing a bitmap" where bitmap is any photo file (jpg, png etc) and tracing is the conversion of said bitmap to vectors by the editing program, Inkscape here. there are tutorials by Rick and many other graphic designers out there sharing their knowledge on Inkscape which you'll find helpful.
You are a lifesaver. Great video. Thank you! I am doing a search on your vids, but do not see if you focus at all on using Inkscape to create files to use with a laser cutter? If so, please tell me which vid to view. Thanks again!
It's a bit intimidating at first when starting up the program, but thanks to binge-watching your videos, it becomes a little easier to navigate. I agree that it's fun to explore. 🙂
CONGRATS on a great video. It's easy to follow and is most informative. I am migrating over from Photoshop and can't find how to do a perspective distortion on a bitmap to square the picture up. Can you plz help?
Thanks so much! I made the same move from Photoshop years back and still miss being able to do perspective distortion so easily. The nature of Inkscape being vector-based software doesn't allow this task to be done thr same way. There is a Path Effect that does perspective but I believe it only works on objects or groups of vector objects. If anyone reading this knows a good solution, could you chime in?
Nice video gentleman, next time pls make it full screen 20% screen is occupied by yr face cam I had to zoom in, but when I zoom the upper bar doesn't come on the screen 😢
@@IronEchoDesign was so easy to follow - feel like I’ve learnt so much in 1 evening and looking forward to learning more through your videos! Can’t wait to start creating in Inkscape
Thank you!! I have been working on and Day 2 or secondary skills. Was waiting for Inkscape 1.3 to update things, but if it gets pushed out, I’ll go forward anyway.
There is a really great deep dive on splines and a woman's rabbit-hole she went down really trying to understand everything about them. I'll try to come back and edit this to leave the video title later but failing that, I can't imagine there are too many other videos on splines.
Paint Bucket Tool tutorial- I’ll upload it around Halloween because it’s scares me. Kidding, kidding. I need to do a video on Paint Bucket. It really is useful, but seriously it’s hard to repeat the same actions which can be frustrating. I found out why- it’s performance takes into account zoom level and makes a raster image of the screen to perform its action. That’s why it can be imprecise. I’ll give it a shot though.
Great question. I wanted to make sure the stroke scaling feature was highlighted. Hovering over each button will at least provide a short description if that helps.
Yes! I’m behind schedule. I should have recorded the 1.3 update in the Fall. I’ll shoot that video next. Anything in particular you’d like me to include?
hola, Thank you for your videos, I am new to this program and I want to know if there is a tool like Illustrator fusion, to combine objects and the number of steps for it, thank you
Thank you and great question! I haven’t used Illustrator in so long. Inkscape had path functions that do combine objects but I’m not sure how they differ from AI fusion. Any Adobe people who may be reading want to chime in?
@@IronEchoDesign I'm from Poland and I just started to get interested Inkscape, and when I watch your video I understand everything well, you speak in simple language and you can explain what you're doing. Thanks ;-)
You can know a lot about something, but the ability to communicate that information in a clear way is almost a superpower within the reach of few 😁 Thanks so much for the video 💯
Wow, thank you so much! I just want to share what I've learned from everybody in the Inkscape community.
I've been searching for beginner videos and the presenters are sooooo annoying... you are easy to listen to, just normal and easy to understand, and don't skip over things because they're just obvious to you. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I’m trying to share the info in a plain, straight-forward way and with no background music. That’s how I like to learn personally.
This is the best channel for users like me who got frustrated earlier learning Inkscape and are now combing back. 🙏
Thank you so much!! I’ll keep making these. Love to see the community grow.
Right! I’m trying to learn myself, other software’s is very confusing, this one is to but I can learn from it.
Thank you for assuming we know nothing. I really needed this tutorial. I was getting frustrated and was having a hard time following other tutorials. I don't have an art background so many of the terms are brand new to me.

brilliantly done
7 mins in and already learned a bunch of stuff that other tuts weren't giving me
many thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thanks so much! I’m making an update to this soon. 😁
This is what knowledge sharing should be like, totally valuable video, really appreciate the work you’ve put in. Thank you.
Thank you so much. That means a lot to me, and I appreciate it!
Exactly, without showing you live and wanting you to pay $197 over 5 payments to learn everything and get free bonuses for signing up.
Thanks Rhonda! I learned Inkscape from free content on RUclips, so I wanted to do the same for others.
@@IronEchoDesign You are so welcome.
I was searching for good content about this program and with less than 2 minutes you totally blew my mind. Thanks a lot
Thank you so much!!

The nature of Inkscape being vector-based software doesn't allow this task to be done thr same way. There is a Path Effect that does perspective but I believe it only works on objects or groups of vector objects. If anyone reading this knows a good solution, could you chime in?
Nice video gentleman, next time pls make it full screen 20% screen is occupied by yr face cam I had to zoom in, but when I zoom the upper bar doesn't come on the screen 😢
Thanks so much! I’ll try to make work area larger next time.
Amazing tutorial! Thanks Iron :)
Thank you so much!
Love this.. thanks!!
Thanks!!
Awesome Rick!
Thanks!!!
Thank you so much!!!
Thanks! Anytime!
@@IronEchoDesign was so easy to follow - feel like I’ve learnt so much in 1 evening and looking forward to learning more through your videos! Can’t wait to start creating in Inkscape
Hi. Great videos. resize images, please make a video. Is there a day two and three, etc?
Thank you!! I have been working on and Day 2 or secondary skills. Was waiting for Inkscape 1.3 to update things, but if it gets pushed out, I’ll go forward anyway.
@@IronEchoDesign see 1.3 will be released next week
Is it really!? I’ll download it and start looking under the hood. Thanks!
There is a really great deep dive on splines and a woman's rabbit-hole she went down really trying to understand everything about them. I'll try to come back and edit this to leave the video title later but failing that, I can't imagine there are too many other videos on splines.
Cool, thanks. I'll check it out.

Nice, thanks. Checking that out now!
Hey! Do you mind making an in-depth tutorial on the "Paint Bucket Tool"? This will be highly appreciated.
Paint Bucket Tool tutorial- I’ll upload it around Halloween because it’s scares me. Kidding, kidding. I need to do a video on Paint Bucket. It really is useful, but seriously it’s hard to repeat the same actions which can be frustrating. I found out why- it’s performance takes into account zoom level and makes a raster image of the screen to perform its action. That’s why it can be imprecise. I’ll give it a shot though.
@@IronEchoDesign It's okay. Anything will do. Just as long as I can grasp the concept.
At 20.00 you covered the 1 of the 4 buttons for scaling what about the other 3.
Great question. I wanted to make sure the stroke scaling feature was highlighted. Hovering over each button will at least provide a short description if that helps.
Man this is good!! Thank you! Any chance you'll do one for 1.3?
Yes! I’m behind schedule. I should have recorded the 1.3 update in the Fall. I’ll shoot that video next. Anything in particular you’d like me to include?
@@IronEchoDesign wow! Thanks! No you're pretty extensive so I'm just grateful for anything you can dive into
hola, Thank you for your videos, I am new to this program and I want to know if there is a tool like Illustrator fusion, to combine objects and the number of steps for it, thank you
Thank you and great question! I haven’t used Illustrator in so long. Inkscape had path functions that do combine objects but I’m not sure how they differ from AI fusion. Any Adobe people who may be reading want to chime in?
thank you so much
Anytime! Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks!!
@@IronEchoDesign I'm from Poland and I just started to get interested Inkscape, and when I watch your video I understand everything well, you speak in simple language and you can explain what you're doing. Thanks ;-)
Thanks!! I'm trying to make the videos clear and a good pace.
Awesome👍Thank You.
Thank you!!
