I'm learning a crazy amount from your videos - this is just what I needed to take my brand to the next level. Thanks for these videos, keep up the great work!

[@magni6o213]

this is definitely the best video so far in this series ... combining what we've learned to create this cool project is indeed inspiring as you mentioned .. THANK YOU

[@TheDusane]

I've seen that you made the videos 2 yrs back, but for your knowledge, I've been through all of them these days, step by step and learned a great amount. You are doing every bit so detailed and careful and things that I've picked up in 4th of 3rd are coming up in real time during work. Putting the pieces together and doing my new company's logo now - by myself!!! Thank you sooo much, amazing work!!! Keep it up!

[@VCCNC]

Thank you for doing these videos! Love how you pick a feature and focus just on it! Much more useful than doing a project from start to finish and makes it easier to go back and look up specific features you are working on. Great work!!

[@TJFREE]

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate the feedback!

[@south_coast_tackle]

I've watched all the videos in this series up to this point and so far this one is my fav! Thanks for the tuts!

[@tanzduwe9931]

Thanks a lot TJ. I have learned a lot from your videos, a lot more than watching somebody design some project that leaves you not understanding the tools they are using and why they choose those tools. Your method inspires more creativity. Again thanks a ton.

[@FarCritical]

This one video single-handedly taught me everything I needed to know. Thank you.

[@prithahaldar6592]

I just practiced over a hummingbird picture following your steps and it looks pretty cool. Thank you so much for the tutorials. It's turning out to be really helpful. 👍👍

[@denishill4372]

Thanks for doing these individual feature lessons, they are a great help. I am trying to use this one, and No. 11, in making stencils, for airbrush work, from my own photos.I knew of the features before but your lessons are essential I find to understanding them fully.

[@nicolegrant4931]

Thank you so much for these videos! They are going to help me so much! You have no idea how helpful these are. Thank you again!

[@maryanngonzalez6524]

These videos are great. I have a little experience with Design space. These videos take you by the hand and walk you through step by step. I am very grateful for them. You are a great teacher!

[@TJFREE]

Thank you!

[@hanjoe5554]

This is really cool! I am a scientist and I have no artistic sense but your videos enable me to produce really nice pictures for my publication!

[@debmc369]

Thank-you for All of your Inkscape Videos. They are very easy to understand.

[@annabellejankowiak1676]

Thank you for all of these very well done tutorials. Last night I watched Lessons 1-11. later I added 15. Excellent progression of teaching each tool. Lesson 10 is what I needed for my "end game". I am a Quilter that needs templates cut precisely by my Sihouette Cameo. Easy to do with well designed templates. But when they are hand drawn, forget it! Your tutorials have taught me how to take hand drawn designs and turn them into well done SVG files. Game changer for me!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

[@TJFREE]

I love it! Thanks for sharing your experience, and I wish you the best of luck!

[@mahnoorawais3811]

This series of yours is life saver ✌🏻💜

[@popxicculture5369]

Thanks for these videos, I appreciate you. They helped me address designing issues I was encountering but with inkscape and these videos I am off to the races :)

[@neveryoumind5743]

love, love, love the very thorough videos! the haircut of the dude in the pic you traced, on the other hand... lol : p
watching them in order, i'm hoping later you cover how to merge shapes into one...

[@lourdesgallegos7508]

I have learned so much from your series, thank you, thank you!

[@ayritebk8603]

Okay I installed inkscape today and this the video number ten that I watch from your channel your videos were very helpful I will share your channel with anyone who asks me where did I learn. Thank you so much and God bless you.

[@vivicristina5304]

[@lettienugent]

WOW! This is going to be SO useful. You're an excellent teacher.

[@TJFREE]

Thanks!

[@nicolemcdowall5605]

Exactly what I needed to learn, very clear and concise. Thank you!

[@slowburnwoodworks7626]

Thank you! I designed a tabletop using a bunch of different points on a french curve. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out a way to get a cleaned up version that I can print out for a paper template, and I believe this might just do the trick. You're awesome, thank you! Lol

[@vasiliysmirnov3922]

Amazing tutorials, thank you for work done.

[@pynskhemsuting648]

Thank you so much for your crystal clear tutorials. Amazing teaching skills.

[@TJFREE]

You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback!

[@noregretsforme]

Thank you for all your informative videos! Very helpful!

[@johnkelley9877]

That is really a neat feature! Thanks for sharing it.

[@nancymc8676]

I got really stuck on this one for a long time. I kept trying to change the color of the duplicate object that I had created but every time I tried, it changed both objects as if they were one, or linked in some way. I had to select the clone and then object to path. Finally I figured out that on a Mac, I should have used command+D to create the duplicate and not option+D. Just posting this in case anyone else makes the same mistake.
Thanks for the videos TJ! I am learning a lot!

[@ariesgirl327]

Excellent tutorial!
I've learned so much from your videos.

[@TJFREE]

i loved this, i'v being waiting for a vector art video but i'v always found the bezier tool hard to use.

[@flyingporker100]

Thanks for this. I always found the Bezier Tool rather scary. I think I get it now! 😀

[@davidvarga2916]

Nice tutorials. I find myself coming back to them when I forget something. Like how to blur things 😂

[@3cimibo3]

Thank you 🙏!!!

[@evvie01]

Way cool, Thank you.

[@zigconcarni]

i love your videos. very helpful and easy to follow. I have downloaded inkscape because i want to creat my own gym brand so i have started designing some stuff. I am going to get a graphics tablet for my birthday as i think that will be a lot easier to use than a track pad.

[@TJFREE]

Awesome. Best of luck with your project!

[@rcfanatic101]

Quick question, how would I do a hairline for a vinyl cutter? Most of the other programs I used allowed a "hairline" option in the stroke width, but there seems to be no such option. Maybe setting the width to 1px?

Hi TJ, this was super helpful! Now that I have my outline, what steps do I need to take to merge the outline inside of a circle? I've tried several things and I am obviously missing something

[@xArshyy]

Hi there! Which video do I look at to find out how to use the dot lines with a mouse to trace a previous sketch done on paper with a different layer?
