Neat. I haven't seen your tutorials in ages and recently stumbled onto your channel again. Also nice to know that I don't have to shift+f6 anymore but can just use b for the bezier tool. One thing tho: You don't have to press enter to end a bezier path - you can just right-click!
Thank you for this update on Inkscape's ... updates :D I really like how you're not just showing the tool and that's it, but instead you give a practical example. Very nice and illustrative!
Thanks for the video. One more thing to call it Game changer is the possibility to add control points of the effect by pressing CTRL+click on a point and thus create complex shapes very fast. Credit for this information goes to a video by Sweater Cat Designs.
de momento no soy estudiante, pero lo hice todo porque necesito usar este programa. Me siento un poco sucio pero es por necesidad ya que ando desarrollando un videojuego con unos amigos, gracias por el video.
Thank you for the helpful tutorial. Yours are some of the best I have seen . I am using Inkscape 1.3 now and wondering what key combination to use to add additional points to the power stroke, so I can widen it some more at other points?
I only wish you could choose the size of the endpoint manually (at least you choose an flat end, or "butt"). And I would like to be able to delete control points. The tool is more of a pain without that.
Thanks for the tutorial! Is there a way to have the thickness of the stroke vary according to an underlying picture? Somehow a mix with what you did with the vector halftone pattern. That would look very cool!
This is the second video I have watched and it says to click on the nodes to get access to the handles. I cannot find this. I have clicked on the nodes and the handles are not like on your video?
Do a horizontal line by clicking the start & end points. Define stroke paint & width, say a few points. Go into point edit mode, select both end points, then click on add point, which will appear at exact mid point. Select mid point, make sure it is a curve point w/ symmetrical handles. Grab a handle, move it away from the horizontal adjusting to taste. Then add the power stroke. Edit mid pink control point & mid path point to taste. Endpoints are eye balled but if you zoom in & place pink stroke control points on top of the original path end points that should be arbitrarily precise.
I’ve been learning from Nick since years ago, there is one tutorial I’m still remember, the one that teach you to clip the scenery with a hot balloon, he did a really great job at teaching, the smooth tone explain every bit of function is what you need on your learning path. If you’re new to flat design, give his master class a go, you’ll have more insight about how and what happen in every corners, which most designers will not have such patient to explain 😂
Each time I'm watching your tutorials I'm positively amazed by what you can actually do in Inkscape. And each time I feel more disappointed (or even infuriated) about Inkscape’s notoriously bad performance on Mac. If this powerful app would only run as smoothly as its rival vector editors on my Mac (or as itself on PC...) I might possibly use it for most of my vector work. Up to now, however, it just keeps me getting unnerved after a while because of its sluggishness... Too bad, really!
can you please help me , when i clip 2 images jpeg or png, it shows nothing ( like its blank) there is still an outline of a object which i can move but i cant see anything . i have check my opacity and transperancy and they are 100%, 0% please tell me the solution
Hi Nick your tutorials are great, i have a question, how to make the handles appear after clicking the nodes? In mine when i click the nodes nothing happens 😢
When I try to adjust a line in Inkscape using the "Node Tool," I can't see the curvature changes as I drag the node control handles. Instead, I see a schematic blue line that appears to represent the desired shape of the curve, but doesn't actually affect the actual line.pls help me
Why is it tyhat when I try to adjust the width of the stroke, it always adjust on one side and not symmetrically like in this video. When I pull the handle, one side is completely flat and the other side bulges, instead of the line bulge symmetrically.
I would like a whole tutorial on handling those curve handles. So hard, you drag one, it messes up the other. Try to drag the midpoint but can't 'cause I grab the other end. It's like torture so I shun using it.
Try using a thicker stroke on the path *before* adding the power stroke. Then add the power stroke. It's easier to then grab the middle control point for a smoother contoured shape. Then fine tune the ends as necessary. Another poster suggested adding more control points by Ctrl clicking on an existing control point. New point is created right on top of the old point so you have to move it to see it.
That's just scratching the surface. That thing is so handy with digital inking where you want to control line weight with precision, and also great for creating glyphs in a custom font for the same reason.
Great! I was using "Pattern Along Path" which didn't allow to change the width in separate locations of path, so I had some hard time showing perspective/rotation of objects in 3D space. I've already tried, this is the cure.
Thanks for explaining this. At 2:10 when you zoom in it actually makes it harder to see the pink point because the apparent thickness of the curve increases but not the thickness of the pink point. Also you keep saying path at times when I think you might have meant point. Unless I misunderstood due to the difficulty in seeing whatever you're saying is pink. I couldn't actually see anything pink but my screen is pretty small.
Nick, I tried upgrading to 1.2.1, but since the newly-conceived Layers/Objects combo menu no longer lets me adjust opacity and blur on the screen, I ditched it for 1.1.2 (or whatever the latest). I use it all the time in my workflow! Do you have a tutorial that can help me adjust? I don't want to fall behind! Thank you. :)
Nick, I'm a paid student of your academy and am very happy with the content. I'm primarily an Inkscape user but purchased the whole package. My question is, is Inkscape 1.2.1 worth switching to? I'm already familiar with 1.1.2 and not sure if it's worth moving over to 1.2.1. I don't need multiple page documents and I don't prefer the way the layers menu is in 1.2.1. However, no one has addressed this question anywhere and I trust your opinion. I would be delighted if you'd provide even a short answer. Thanks so much.
Kind of wish there was a way to re-use a power stroke set up so you can continue to draw as you create without tweaking each individual line as you go.
Hello Nick, I am basically a newbie to this Graphics world - coming from digitizing machine embroidery - with no graphics experience as mentioned. I followied other tutorials which were very helpful, but I just stumbled across your Tutorial. Wow, you are brilliant. This is what I was wanting to learn how to achieve this effect. Thank you. You have me hooked and I will be following you from now on. Many many thanks.

Exactly what I was looking for yesterday.. thank you!
As always, very informative and a well put together tutorial. I definitely need to check out that masterclass.
you have the best tutorials, thank you for the content you make
U still save my life
I always learn something awesome from your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 👏👍

A big time saver, I love it! Thank you for sharing
basics it's encouraging to learn a little bit more! Well done!
Another great video tutorial. Thanks!
Excellent video as always, thank U !!

Thank you so much, I always learn so much from you! ❤
thanks
Haven't this this before but looks very useful :)
I thought we were going to draw a Diesel Ford Pickup. In any case, I love this tutorial.
Really amazing. Thanks

Ctrl+Click on control point to add another one, Ctrl+Alt+Click on control point to delete it
Have you ever used Vectornator?
I'm always about to upgrade to Inkscape 1.2 but I'm so used to the previous version I'm afraid it changes a lot and I chicken out.
Thanks for the tutorial!

cool
This is the second video I have watched and it says to click on the nodes to get access to the handles. I cannot find this. I have clicked on the nodes and the handles are not like on your video?
Using pink nodes, is it possible to adjust the width so that the the beginning, middle and the end of the stroke will all have the same width?
Awesome! Question. Is there a way to easily make a perfectly symmetrical swoosh? so you don't have to eyeball it?
Do a horizontal line by clicking the start & end points. Define stroke paint & width, say a few points. Go into point edit mode, select both end points, then click on add point, which will appear at exact mid point. Select mid point, make sure it is a curve point w/ symmetrical handles.

Eric Bridge oh
Well yeh besides that but i nver need to anyway
Thank you Mr. Nick. You have been my Go-To for most of my creative tools and software. Just wanted to say Thank you!
Same here 🎈
The gap between Adobe and its competitors appears to be narrowing gradually.
@4:00 how can i make both tips round?
make a new channel and send it to a new setuper entirely?
My favorite RUclips channel!
Warm greetings from Germany. 🤩🙏
Great!
So, I asume that after transform the "mountains" objet into a path, the path-effect editable mode turns off.
Cool!

I was waiting and looking for a tool like this! I'm so happy Inkscape finally found a way to make it happen and added it!
hello Nick
I follow you and say thank you for your youtubes.
If I want to make a flag. not square but wave in the wind. Do you have a tube?

Please do a tutorial on how to expand the toolbox, tool controls, palette and scrollbars on screen. 🙏🙏🙏
As a game developer, I like the phrase "game changer" 🎮😂
Hi, i made a V, when i selected the tool power stroke, only took the right side. why? somebody knows? :(
sick of it!! !!!! anybody got any tips to help?? close on throwing my laptop out the window! got the Full package on soft feel its a waste of

Great video! Is there a way to save powerstroke settings and apply them to another path? I didn't catch if the values reset with each application.
You can set default Power Stroke settings in the Live Path effects dialog. Also, it's useful to set stroke width in the Fill Stroke dialog.
Nick you have been so consistent on all your tutorials over the years, amazing!
All path effects details video need..
The comnt section is very positive and downright encouraging! Love it!
Crazy, love this tool!
Fun fact, power strokes and similar path effects all came from Ponyscape, an Inkscape fork specifically meant to create MLP art :)
Can you make asymmetrical profiles?
finally an answer to my begging, thank you
it's obvious people still remain poor due to ignorance
Excuse me. Did i can add pink color Dot?
really love and laugh how you gradually slipped into Bob Ross mode on purpose, highly appreciated!
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!! That's great, thanks Nick
or corel brush styles since 2014
This is pretty much the one thing ive been trying get inkscape to do!
How's it going? Did you learn how to use it?
Wow thank you so much very amazing tutorial
Toimii ! :) Kiitoksia, Tarvittin tätä
You make the best videos.
to be so honest, you r the best one that teaches design in youtube, thank you so much ! ...

YT recommended me this vid!
Wow... thanks. 💜❤🧡💛💚💙
Great as always :)
Can u teach how to use nexus
How to see all tools like you
Quick question mike....
thx and subscribed

Worked, thx
Hai
Just love inkscape! I'm using to to save wmf files that I can import into preset shapes in corel paintshop pro. Works wonders.
very usefull
