If you want to learn more about how Inkscape works, I have a 50+ part video series where I explain all of the tools and features in Inkscape and demonstrate how they work. Here's the link if interested: logosbynick.com/inkscape/
your tutorials are great. I think I am in for your course. I randomly used inkscape with your tutorials. I try to make images from photographs for my Silhouette cutter. Now this bird is easy to section in different colors. I want to do a dog and don't know how to organize it into sections.
Hi Nick, I really appreciate your videos, especially the GIMP & Inkscape tutorials. Keep up the good work and please don't stop making content. Greetings from Germany
It's so great that you mention the keyboard shortcuts you use. As a total beginner, this is immensly helpful - much more fun to look at a cool parrot picture being made than just hear/read a list of key bindings with no to little context.
I think being a good teacher is an incredible skill. You are one of those people who's got it. Your videos are always so well put together and informative, I learn something new every time. There is no other channel on youtube that can hold my attention for 20+ minutes, like yours. Thank you!
Wow! I am very impressed with INKSCAPE as a vector graphics design application. It is exactly what I was hoping as an alternative to Corel Draw, or most any other program, that cost hundreds of dollars to own. I am also very happy with the instructional videos available from logos by nick, and will very likely be purchasing a more in depth training series so that I might finally learn to do the things that I have been wanting to do for a long time. Thanks for the instruction Nick. Kudos to the creators of Inkscape!
your speed of teaching doesn't matter as long as you tell your audience what you are clicking on your keyboard and thanks for that! Love this Vid! Keep it up!
Thank you for this. You just helped me out in a big way. I appreciate how well you presented it. Clear. Consice, and just enough detail of information without a bunch of unrelated stuff. Very well done. Thank you again.
i have been learning inkscape and using the Bezier tool for the last 2 weeks, but I just realised that i did not know how to use the Bezier tool, till I saw this awesome video. this is the first video that i have seen, that shows very clearly how to use the Bezier tool to advantage. Thank you for helping dummies like me. Keep up the good work. i think that this is the best Bezier tool video, that i have seen so far.
I'm really very much thankful. Nick videos are helping me every day. Now, I myself can create vector, low poly potrait, line art etc after watching his videos. His way of teaching is extremely wow. Please make more videos on Inkscape. Thanks for all your efforts to shape us.😍
Amazing tutorial. Everything I ever wanted to know in one video was very informative, short, and well explained! You got my attention there, keep going!
Thank you so much for this, Nick! I am an absolute newbie and thanks to your tutorials have managed to achieve things I didn't think I could. You are concise and clear and I greatly appreciate your effort and the time you take to share what you know. Thank you, thank you! Kind regards from Colombia, South America!
I am just fascinated. I want to learn how make my own designs to cut with my cricut maker in fabric and then use them in my personal quilts and stuff. I just love to watch others drawing now ...I'll watch for hours, over and over ... :)) I even made a few stickers. This is so much fun!! Thank you!
Awesomeness! I totally enjoyed this tutorial! You have unlocked some treasures for me on this program! I had used Coral Draw for years, but you have saved me a huffa-lump of cash! Thanks so much, Nick!
I'm so glad I found this. I recently had to get a new laptop and install Inkscape and GIMP onto it. I've been working with Illustrator and Photoshop for years but I am unable to get them right now so I had to find substitute programs to keep working on my digital art. I was recommended GIMP and Inkscape but they're so different than what I'm used to, especially Inkscape, so I was worried! Thankfully this helped me understand the basics a lot better! I plan on using my old laptop for an art computer at least until I get the hang of these new programs-just hope it holds out long enough! Thank you so much for doing this tutorial!! I gotta keep in mind that sometimes simple is better and not get so hung up on little details! The parrot looks great by the way! :D
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I'm making svg files from jpg images for embroidery, and this tutorial was *extremely* helpful. I'm fairly proficient with GIMP, but had never worked with Inkscape until your tutorial. Thank you again.
This was so helpful. I've had that program on my desktop for so long but every time I try and use it I get frustrated because it's tools are so different than the ones I am accustomed to using. I really appriciate this tutorial.
The whole time I was like OMG dude just drag down that layer panel! Kind of wish I had watched this first, would have saved me a good few hours figuring the busier tool out. Thanks man.
Love your stuff! Can you show us creating cartoons from portrait photos as well? Would be cool to see the process, i have always problems using the right lines to define the face.
Nice. This brings back memories, I used to work at an embroidery shop for a bit and this is how we did some of the work, just using Corel Draw instead.
Hi Nick. Like everyone else who has commented, I really appreciate the time and care you put into these videos, and I find them very useful. A quick question about this one. At 21.23 you start to mention that you did not put the different layers of feathers on different layers, but used the "raise or lower function" to bring them forward or send them back. I have not tried this yet, so I am trying to understand how the raise/lower function works. Does it adjust the hue or brightness of an object, in order to change the impression of its relative 'position' or 'importance'? Thank you.
I love your work sir thanks a lot , I use both GIMP and Inkscape because they are free resources. Please continue on making content great work :) Greetings from Philippines.
Nice tutorial. Only thing I would suggest is instead of using the bezier pen, pressing enter, and then clicking the point where you left off, use shift-L instead. This makes the corner sharp instead of, well... curvey :)
Hi Nick, great instructional videos. I followed step by step on a different image. Single color. But I seem to have mixed up the layers that I drew on. Is there a way to select all the lines I've made and group them together into one layer? Also, while outlining shapes I seem to have missed selecting some nodes to make it a complete line. Is there a way I could connect different lines into one continuous line?
You've probably already realized this by now but setting it to spiro is a lot easier, and twice as fast. Just lay out all of your nodes, select the ones that need to be curved and click the auto smooth feature at top. Then, all you have to do is adjust. Simple as a pimple.

@Fabianus Anka why would he do it for free? He went to school and paid to learn, so you can as well!
Sometimes you do. Not everyone is born with skills, they practise and pay to learn
You have the perfect balance of being repetitive without sounding too repetitive. Explaining the keybinds each time really helped me. Old but gold

Thanks! No plans of stopping any time soon.

This video can never get old ... I am always here each time I need clarity with inkscape drawing

Thank you for the feedback! Glad to hear that what I'm doing is effective.
I was lost at the very beginning until I looked elsewhere and found out I needed "Create Regular Bezier Path" selected on the top left panel
OMFG!!!!!! THANK YOU! I just spent 2 hours on this and I immediately did it!
yeah i just realized the same thing

thank you so much>>>> I am from Egypt and i learned a lot from you>>>>i need Inkscape a lot in my channel>>>>>and your video helped me a lot
Another outstanding video by Nick! Learning to use the Bezier tool is challenging but powerful once you master it.

This video is exactly what I was looking for for my logo project. I appreciate you manifesting it. Very informative and engaging.
I like how you explain so clearly that anyone can follow along. Thanks for that

Thanks for the tutorial Nick, it's really unlocked a lot of new skills for me! (Both for tracing, and for creating things in general.)
Awesomeness! I totally enjoyed this tutorial! You have unlocked some treasures for me on this program! I had used Coral Draw for years, but you have saved me a huffa-lump of cash! Thanks so much, Nick!

Great video. I’m self taught with Inkscape and GIMP and this made things much easier to understand.
This looks so much better than what the program gets from using the vectorizing algorithms.
Just began exploring this software. Absolute beginner. Great video . thanks
The whole time I was like OMG dude just drag down that layer panel! Kind of wish I had watched this first, would have saved me a good few hours figuring the busier tool out. Thanks man.
I LOVE LOGOS BY NICK. HE IS THE GOAT!!!
Inkscape is blowing my mind. Thank you for teaching me how op it is lol

Bro your vid is so detailed and helpful!! Thanks a million! I followed right along.
Love your stuff! Can you show us creating cartoons from portrait photos as well? Would be cool to see the process, i have always problems using the right lines to define the face.
