Very good video, I am enjoying learning a different way of making Mandalas!

Nice ! From 10:38, I'd suggest select all, path > stroke to path then path > union then path> break apart then path > union again. Quick, but if you set a 4 px stroke width, it will bigger of 2px than original. Not a problem if it is intended to have just a fill, no stroke color.

Very interesting, thanks. I love the way you analyse your needs to guess the way you'll use inkscape to achieve your art. I'd use shapebuilder tool to draw hearts, from 14:25 : no need to use complicated method from there. I'd also use snapping to rotation centers : it may help aligning shapes with oblique guides.

Great! Very interesting new stuff on version 1.4. And your tutorial makes it simple and fun. Thank you.

Great tutorial! I assume you made clones of each animal. But I don’t get how to make them align in a circle inside their shapes. Is it a path effect or can I manage that in the align and distribute section?

A very fun and educational video! Thanks!

Very nice procedure explained by you in a simple way

Thanks so much for the tutorial.

Great tutorial, thanks!

Thanks for the video. Very good explanation. As you say, it has been around for quite some time. This method is used for other things, like templates ,icons, etc. Particularly I create my own libraries of symbols, is the same method, only changes the file type when saving and of course, the location of the folder.

So, is this a new concept for you like it was for me? Happy Halloween and may your autumn be colorful

Your channel is very much welcome! Thanks!

New Inkscape user here, I love how clearly you explain everything. I have always wanted to learn how to do artistic pet portraits like this to help out a local dog rescue. I can't afford to donate any cash, so I'd like to be able to donate art files.

Nice video 🎉❤

Práctico y divertido

This is wonderful, thank you. And that lady's beauty is mesmerizing. I'm surprised how few views you have. If you make an "how to obey look" video, i think you could go viral. (you can google "obey portrait", "obama hope"). I'd also love a tutorial on soviet art posters.

The way I go about it is take the mandala shape and duplicate it. Move the copy out of the way. Take the original and turn the stroke down to something small like 1 px if you have a 2 px stroke for the other one. Turn all those strokes to a path and union them all. Then draw a shape larger than the mandala and send it behind it. Difference the two so now the stroke is removed from the same. Then split that apart. All the individual pieces are now their own object that you can select and change the colors, add individual gradients, etc. Once you are done, group them all together and move the other thick stroke outline over it.

Nobody expects the double switcheroo!

Wow, wonderful! Thank you for this great how-to 🙏❤

*alt j voice* let's tesselate

Enjoyed your tutorial, thank you. If each fish have a black outline/border of 4px but when you stack the rows the border between the rows must become 8px, but i dont see that happening, is it some Inkscape intelligent feature?

Great teaching style. Keep uploading

Great, thanks for the video. 💯

Don't hesitate, tessellate! Hey, if you create a cool Inkscape tessellation and want to share it, send it to [email protected]. Cheers!

You didn't show us how to save it.

Great

Amazing work

A bit I learned from this video are gong to be useful for my mural projects. using bezier curves to create linear line art. I have a big question for you. would I be able to email you my question?

enjoyed your lessons very much. Its just been 2 days since i downloaded Inkscape and I am enjoying every bit.

Once again, tons to learn here. I really love your creative process and your clear explanations. Way to go Tom. 🙏❤ This is a gem of a channel.

Wonderful! l learned so much. Thank you Tom 🙏🤩

Great , Sir Keep uploading these type of videos, your content is valuable to enhance the graphices skill.

Nice effect and very good technique, thanks for the video. Min 8:20 approx. I recently discovered by chance that when using Shape Builder on a piece like this where you are going to take all the shapes, just select everything, activate Shape Builder and press enter. You will save a lot of time 🙂

Start with a photo or a silhouette and end up with some Op Art! Check out the process!

Great video hatts off

Very good result.

I’m so glad I found your channel! Your videos do an amazing job walking through all the steps and how to use Inkscape. I can’t wait to create my first mandala using this program. Thanks for your amazing tutorials. Can’t wait to see what I learn from your up one videos!!!!

I'd love to see your take on this process if you want to email your final results to me at [email protected]. Enjoy!

I chose the first example since I always feel that someone is watching me. Enjoy!

Check out the Community tab for a few more examples that I said in the Outro that I would try. Enjoy!

Please forgive my 2-finned dolphin (I think they are mostly found off the coast of Three Mile Island). Anyway, enjoy the process!

Who doesn't like the KISS Principle? For me, simple = fun when it can lead to stunning results. Enjoy!

This is one way to create a mosaic. Check out my other mosaic video for a more traditional approach. Enjoy!

Who loves the Shape Builder Tool? Enjoy!

What theme would you add to a mandala? Enjoy!

How do you like using the Paint Bucket Tool? Enjoy!

If you love mandalas, you'll love being able to create them using Inkscape - plus it's really fun! I'd love to see your completed mandalas if you want to email them to me at [email protected]. Enjoy!

It pays to have a good foundation when beginning to use Inkscape. Learn the basics here while also creating a pretty cool geometric art piece. Enjoy!

When I clip. It will remove the image on the other side but on the selection box it still appears to be a complete group of images. Where am I making a mistake?
