Great tutorial, Ashlee, THANK YOU! I love my Cricut Machines - I have the Cricut Explore Air 2, Maker 3 and got the Joy Xtra in January this year. I feel Cricut Design Space is letting its Customers who, for whatever reason, don't pay for Cricut access, down as every new update you now need Cricut Access to use them. Apparently Cricut could be bringing out a Laser Machine at some point, which is great, but personally feel they should concentrate on fixing the bugs in CDS first before releasing yet another new machine. Just my HO ofcourse. I use Canva and save my projects in both PNG & SVG. [I also use Creative Fabrica a lot as well for SVGs as they come with a Commercial Licence which is awesome] I've not used Inkscape as often as I'd like, so definitely going to watch your tutorials and have a try. 💕💕

Cricut does have a patent on a laser machine, but I also heard rumors of them buying glowforge. I wonder what's the truth and what's really happening inside cricut. You think they'd hire me? LOL

Although this isn't a character tutorial the new svg file that we create is of a realistic image, so this will be really helpful to learn so you can replicate the same steps with realistic characters: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6bJXoeEpZ2Gfrssi=81odZt1_dLFZrP_F

Great tutorial! However, definitely not a follow along for someone trying to learn Inkscape. I wish you could have explained where the buttons were as you were selecting things. It got really difficult to follow along when you started changing the colors of the eyes. I guess I will have to play around with Inkscape more, before trying this again.

Are you using the same exact image as me? If so, try saving the image to a higher quality. If not, choose images that are higher resolution. The more resolution the better the trace.

Hi, This is amazing and easy to follow along, but I must have missed something. 🤣😬😬😊 I had the following issues: 1. When I right clicked on the clipart I did not have an option to download, so I selected "save image as." 2. When I put my silhouette to the threshold of 1.000 it turns into a black square, even when I place it on the colored image, it remains a square. Also, if I take the silhouette image down to 0.990, the white part of the silhouette's eyes show. If possible, can you let me know what I might be doing incorrectly. Thank you.
@ashleefalcoАй бұрын
Hello! Saving image as is perfectly fine and acceptable. You did the right thing! Turning it all the way to 1.00 will turn anything black. You’ll want to take the threshold down until you get exactly the image you’re wanting. Once you’re satisfied press update. Depending on the image you may need to go down to .97 (it just depends on the original image).
