Thank you so very much! I appreciate your excellent work.
thank you for the link. saves me time trying to go through all of your videos to find the videos i need. although searching thru everything does show me other programs i could start learning to use to progress my crafts and perfect them
thank you
This guy is a legend or what? He makes long and detailed tutorials for free. Seriously he deserves a lot lot lot of respect +++++
I agree.
I also agree. Informative and well spoken. He's taught me so much and still continues to. Thanks Nick!
Yeah
Yes, seems like an open source enthusiast.
I'm sure he gets plenty of monetizing and sponsoring funds. Well-deserved. Great teacher.
Thanks a lot Nick! I really appreciate you doing these tutorials with open source software. Very useful for Linux users like me.
I've been dabbling in inkscape for over a decade (mostly just using trace bmp) and now that I'm retired it's time to master the bezier pen! thank you for your tutorials which I stumbled upon when looking for options for creating my own SVG for my newly acquired Cricut. These are phenomenal. I'm having to pause repeatedly since you are so efficent at what you're doing but I'd rather have to do that than wait while someone slows down their teaching as if we had to grab it in real time. Thank you again and I'll be binge watching until my brain explodes.
Brand new to Inkscape, logos, drawing digitally and drawing in general really. Finding your videos quite inspiring. Ended up buying your Gimp and Inkscape tutorial package and learning a lot so keep up the good work Nick
Hands down one of the best inkscape tutorials I've seen online yet!!! Subbed and hit the bell on this one... Thanks
Thanks!
Honestly, one of the best tutorials I've ever seen.
P E R F E C T
(and yes I subscribed and clicked bell)
Keep up good work pal
Thank you SO Much for Making these Tutorials .. as a crafter who uses svg's having the ability to be able to create my own is important to be different than others.. Thank you so much again for these
Useful - clear speaking - the right speed - good explanation. Thanks!!!
I am a very new user to inkscape, and this tutorial really helped some concepts "click" for me. Thank you for providing it.
really useful video, thanks! i'm a portrait artist getting into learning vector tools, and this is a handy starting point for inkscape.
i do have a suggestion, though: you might try altering the width of your lines depending on where the light is in the picture. this will establish an illusion of depth. so, thicker lines in the shadow areas, and thin lines in the light
What a FANTASTIC tutorial. You have covered exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you so much.
Regarding the tricky thing to get a handle of the node (7:10): while holding shift you can drag the handle right out of a node. No need to push things around. Btw your content is great and right on the point. I learned a lot from you, thank you.
Nick,
thanks for the very useful guide on using the bezier pen handles, that often has me mumbling under my breath. I will do my portrait, should be easy as my hair disappeared years ago :-)

I am trying now but my lines are thin how can I do thick does anyone has an idea ?
inkscape is amazing, and your tutorials are great. thank you.
Clever technique, using the Intersect shape and creating a stroke from it.
THIS is what I have been looking for for days now! I am gonna have to watch that again...
I've never seen the paths done like that before. I usually use the power stroke path effect. I'm going to try this it looks like a huge time saver.
Omg where has this been all my life!
Been watching your videos for years, they rock
Wow, that method is even better than the one you showed with the ship! PRICELESS CONTENT FOR FREE GUYS! Nick is the best!!
Simple, and interesting! Thanks for showing how!
The trick with the beizer is the greatest trick ever!
What a fantastic skill you have. That drawing is superb. Thanks again for a great video :)
This video just gave me an idea for my mother's upcoming birthday! Thank You So Much Nick
Wow! That was great. Explained very well and at a pace for even the slowest, like me. I don’t think I can do that, but I’m going to try..
I'm so excited to try this!
Just purchased your logo manual to say thanks for the videos. Awesome work.
Thank you! I appreciate it.
Great video, really useful! I appreciate your time and effort put into sharing this great example! Many thanks!
Only just saw this fantastic tutorial thanks...You make it look so easy
Great video with the process clearly explained. Thank you!
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks, Nick.
Nick the only reason I keep re- installing 😎
Great tutorials Nick! I have greatly enjoyed them. I did discover through experimentation that if the Bezier Shape is set to None that the resizing node does not show up no matter what you do. I have noticed in the comments that some individuals have had problems getting the node to show and it is possible that this is the reason. The node will show up on any other Shape EXCEPT for None. I have noticed that sometimes Inkscape will switch the shape back to none without any apparent reason (program glitch?) so that is something you may wish to point out if you do any other tutorials about the Bezier tool. I hope that this comment helps anyone who may have had problems getting the node to show up. Someone else may have already pointed this out in your comments (I didn't read every one) but I thought I should mention it to try to help anyone who is having problems.
Thank you for the informative tutorial! It took a number of times through, but I managed a simple logo :)
I really like your tutos great job and very usefull, I really improved since 1 year and mostly due to your videos :)
Incredible...!
Thanks so much for sharing this stuff.
I have next to no experience or training with graphic design, but with the help of watching your, and a couple others, here on You Tube, I have designed a logo for my kids' company that they are quite pleased with!
Now, I just have to find a way to convert my SVG file into and .exp file that my sewing machine can embroider from... :-)
Dude i love your videos has a lot of value!
still the Best inkscape teacher so far
Nice tutorial, helps me to make better use of the pen tool! Thank you!
Clear, simple, perfect
Love your videos. Thanks I've learned so much! Let's say I like how my line drawing turned out, and now I want to paint it but I'm not sure how to export the line drawing. Maybe this is a whole other video or process, but what would anyone recommend for next steps? Should I move into GIMP or stay in Inkscape? I'd love to see what others recommend.
i know this video is super old but it has helped me to start making line work designs and its sooooooo easy to follow. next step making actual picures (once i perfect line work that is) thank you for your Inkscape videos im learning so much!!!
Same , did a hammer with Adobe illustrator
OMGoodness Love your technique
Thank you Nick. This tut is awesome!! :)
I think I'm missing smth concerning editing the lines. When editing them, the only thing showing is the handle to increase or decrease the thickness.
I tried what you suggested, moving the lines around, except I can't. I clicked numerous times over several parts of the line and no extra handles come out nor does the line move.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much!
Cool technique. I was hoping for two clicks of a button for some auto cartoon filter but maybe I was just dreaming but this looks like a simple trick/maneuver that you can just get better at and get good results
Nick made me love inkscake
Im done. Ive got something to add on my portfolio. But i struggle on some presets. I did some trial and error.luckily it turned great. Thanks!
Awesome as always, keep it up
Absolutely Amazing !!!!! Thank you for a great video!
Very helpful as always. Thank You
Excellent video Nick!!
So cool! Gonna give this a try soon.
I love your videos !!
Amazing tutorial and amazing song =)
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing!
awesome, thanks for the tutorial!
Hei thx very much sir, from you i learn a lot about design and inkscape..😁
Wow that was so helpful! Thank you for sharing :)
Really fantastic nick. keep it up! I did'nt know such complex portrait could be done with Inkscape. Why do we then need Photoshop for?
Thank you for the tutorial... It helped me appreciate the utility of inkscape.. also i could make a beautiful portrait of a girl i like .... :)
Most excellent. Thanks for showing.
Does gimp has that feature making the lines thinner n thicker by dragging ?
Great work, very helpful thanks.
Nick, you've been doing great help with these videos. And since I discovered your channel I've being fascinated with Inkscape. Thanks
First off, Thank you for the tutorial... I've been trying to do the line portrait and for some reason i get this pop up screen with error and have lost 3 attempts already. not sure what i am doing wrong. Any suggestions/ help would be great. Thank you.
I love your videos thank you!
Thanks. Interesting tutorial.
At 4:26 you're setting a width for your curve. Is there a way to set this width by default. On my drawing, I have to set up every line's width.
Thanks. This helped a lot.
Wow! This is the best tutorial I have ever watched on RUclips! Would you please take this a step further & show how to turn this into a continuous art piece?
mate did u do it? i have it as hw and im goofed
Awesome ! That's helpin' a lot !
love it 💗💗
This is brilliant
Really thank you man ❤️❤️
awesome tutorial! i was wondering if there's something similar in photoshop
Hi Nick, I was trying to follow this tutorial by using an image of a dog instead (dont know if that's relevant) Thing is that the tool "edit paths" doesn't work the same way for me. Instead of making it thinner or thicker it allows me to move the curved line shape and change the position of the edges. I've followed every step... 4:23
That was really cool, thanks.
Muito bom, valeu.
Ah.. the main reason I clicked this video as soon as I saw it is because I thought it was you Nick 😂
Haha lol
Thanks you bro. love you....
awesome thanks bro!
That was awesome.
A bery helpful and interesting video
Waow. I love you sir.
Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️
Brilliant!
Great video
Thanks. A ton
How do yoh do those strokes? Everytime I try to recreate it, even though I followed the instructions properly.... It ends up being oval again and not like those thin lines. Do you have tutorials in setting up those bezier?
Hey did you figure this out? Seems like I'm having the same problem.
@@werewolf_13 did you figure it out I am having the same problem
@@syriosly3058 Yes I just had to bring down the size of the path using the handles.
@@werewolf_13 I am so confused now its not making the lines from the clipboard do you know how to fix it. It also just is invisible
Hi had the same problem. Try "bend from clipboard" for shape instead of "from clipboard". Worked for me.
Great tutorial
Hi, I'm not sure what is going wrong for me, I follow the steps up to using the bezier pen. I have all the setting correct and the shape copied. I draw my line and press enter, but it just draws a normal line and pastes the shape at the end of the line. Gahh! Thanks for your tuts I really like them. Just can't figure this one out :S
same problem here
Ok I fixed mine! If on a Mac, go to X11 "Preferences" (should be top left when youre in Inkscape), then go to "Pasteboard" menu, the unclick "Update Pasteboard when CLIPBOARD changes".Voila!
After applying your fix, i had to close Inkscape and reopen. Worked perfectly!
Thanks for the advice!
0.92.2 is the latest version, as of today, 01.16.18, which version are you using? Thk you.
Hellonor
When I enlarge or shrink the image when done, before turning it into a path, the lines won't thicken nor slim
How is it so?
I took notes while I was watching this, maybe I missed it. But, everytime I use the Bezier pen, when the line is inserted its way too fat, is there a way to set the default so it doesn't look so unruley at first? I adjust it with the nodes, so i get to the right setting, but I was wondering if there was a smoother way to do this.
hey nick.. big fan,, just one question.. what if we wanna fill them with the solid color.. i mean the face and the beard stuff and hairs in general
The music is the best.
i did it man lol,i usually have problems with the tutorials
Awesome thanks for sharing
Can you provide the link on the tutorial of how to change the color scheme in Inkscape to gray (toolbars etc)?
