  • In this video I’ll be explaining all 21 Inkscape tools and uses, along with a brief demonstration of how they work. Inkscape has much more to offer than just the 21 tools located in its toolbar, but this guide should serve as a good starting point for understanding the basics of Inkscape if you’re new to the software.
    I've put together a written guide for this tutorial here if you want to check it out: logosbynick.com/inkscape-tool...
    Video breakdown is as follows...
    00:00 Intro
    00:39 The Select Tool
    00:57 Editing Nodes
    01:25 Squares and Rectangles
    01:49 Circles and Ellipses
    02:18 Stars and Polygons
    02:51 3D Boxes
    03:21 Spirals
    03:37 Bezier Pen
    04:06 Freehand Lines
    04:27 Calligraphy Pen
    04:45 Text Objects
    05:06 Gradients
    05:28 Meshes
    05:48 Pick Colors
    06:23 Fill Bounded Areas
    06:48 Tweak Objects
    07:08 Spray Objects
    07:32 Erase Paths
    07:54 Diagram Connectors
    08:14 Zoom
    08:30 Measurements
    08:56 Goodbye

    I've already purchased your master class bundle a couple weeks ago, but tbh have been kinda overwhelmed at the thought of starting it. This video was a fantastic overview of what I'll be learning about, and has eased some of my fears in starting to learn Inkscape more in-depth. Couldn't have been better timing! Thank you for providing such fantastic resources to learn from ♥

  • @midplanewanderer9507
    @midplanewanderer9507 3 года назад

    Blown away. Subscribed. I'll be getting video burn, scratchy eyes from watching all your tutorials. I have to find out if Inkscape has a grid utility, how difficult it will be to warp a 2D construct onto a sphere and utilize/incorporate (with mathematical precision) golden-section principles and fractals for design. (Generally, it seems the best logos, sigils and geometric forms, the ones that really "pop," are those which are "in tune" with themselves using golden-section techniques and simple fractals). Glad I found your channel!

    Hey Nick! I am a self-taught freelance graphic designer and your videos are very helpful in my work. You are an inspiration for many people out there wanting to start graphic designing, for free but don't know how to. Inkscape is free to use and your tutorials are the best and your thumbnails are attractive. I would love if you make a video on how to design epic thumbnails like yours that grab attention. Thank you.

  • @malcolm341
    @malcolm341 3 года назад

    @Logos By Nick Hi Nick, can you recommend a free program that has a vector freehand drawing tool that also has line stabilization so when I draw a curve it smooths out my shaky hand. I'm currently using Autodesk Sketchpad, but the drawing tools are all raster and ironically you can't zoom out because the viewport isn't filtered so drawing a higher resolution causing so much aliasing you can't judge your drawing. I'm currently inking my line drawing in there with because it has a nice stabilization setting for the pen tool and then converting that to vector in another program and losing quality on the way. Looking for something where I can draw at a higher resoulution while zoomed out and or draw directly to vector.
