Inkscape inking a drawing example

[@richardmorganwrites]

You have no idea how valuable this was. I have scoured videos for HOURS and for some reason, it hasn't occurred to ANYONE else how to create this basic aesthetic of tapering lines in Inkscape. Bravo to you!

[@mireazma]

I ended up here by accident and learned more than in 6 dedicated tutorials. Liked.

[@timeisgold7793]

I am no artist or any related to it I am accountancy graduate work in the bank but my heart belongs to art I really appreciate those people who unselfishly share their knowledge coz this is my only way of learning ...thank you

[@asianboy508]

I've tried using Illustrator once... After 5 minutes I just laughed and exited out and went back to using InkScape.

[@juliogerardo99]

I use illustrator at school but inkscape and gimp at home... I can easily say inkscape and Gimp destroy illustrator because it's free but sometimes it's frustrating

[@Tiber234]

Thanks for the tutorial Jason - still watching/learning in 2019 from your well presented vids

[@rodmantis2550]

That was the best tutorial I've found. I've been trying to make sense of different vector graphic design programs but just keep getting frustrated. You solved everything right at the start. Can't thank you enough Bud. Champion...!!!

[@youssufmostafa6588]

It's so amazing how how a windows 95 looking system can run inkscape with word opened , multiple mozilla tabs ,maya ,blender and illustrator at the same time

[@asoooom9090]

Thanks so much.. It's Amazing

[@lizvasquez7277]

OMG Jason this tutorial is like amazing thank you...

[@jocargua]

Thank you Jason !!!. Excellent drawing way..!!!

[@FashionnArt]

Thank yiu, this was helpful. I don't have illustrator anymore, I'm so sad, cuz I'm so used to that program. But I heard of this program and decided to see how it works and what not. i really love how you can easily manipulate the nodes, it's convenient, and makes work faster!

[@jaimebermudez7081]

En las comparativas entre Illustrator e Inkscape no se mencionan estas habilidades notables de Inkscape. Gracias, muy buen video.

[@zulfadli5641]

I learned many things from this video

[@reggiedoesdallas5449]

I must have a different version of Inkscape, because I don't have any way to adjust the thickness of my tapered lines, which I have to say is really frustrating. Great video though. 😄👍

[@agualupus]

this should help : go to Path-path effects-choose : pattern along path, then you should be able to adjust the width

[@teroblepuns]

Maryem Ben Brahim Tried that, didn't make any difference.

[@scottacus1]

I think it might be that the author chose the Pencil tool and then set the "Shape" to "triangle in". That seems to give me the handle to grab and move around as in the video.

[@xPAKIII]

You da real MVP

[@Brickerbrack]

If you Convert Stroke to Path, that essentially turns the lines into editable paths. EDIT: Just spotted what Scott did; in the Pencil and Bezier tools, you can choose the "shape" of the line, and Triangle In creates a line that tapers toward the endpoint, and when you go to Node Edit, there's a handle which allows you to alter the thickness. I never actually noticed that before; that's gonna come in _very_ handy... ;)

[@lidiatorresprado]

Amazing thank you.👍😀

[@pawelsbox]

Fantastic tutorial. Thanks.

[@reinaldoandresramirez2551]

You have no idea how happy i was when a I saw this video

[@itotallyrockoutloud2]

Thanks so much! Great tutorial, I'm going to try it out right now! :)

[@omadesala384]

Thank you! Just what I was looking for.

[@suenecorrea]

great video! It helped me a lot! Thank you, Mr Welsh

[@tinabrowny]

so lovely! thank you for sharing!

[@Pedozzi]

but after the outline how can i color the drawing in a fast way without having to trace everything again?

[@shardaskitchen08]

Thanks bro nice tutorial

[@avijitashe3252]

really loved it...used, corel draw, which is also similar but requires a few more steps for allowing that sort of flexibility..thanks

[@andryan.s]

[@AntGeezer]

Very useful, thank you.

Thank you

[@jessicadraper9684]

I was wondering how to taper the lines--thank you!

[@vc20029]

Thanks. Very helpful.

How to change a pencil from Stroke to Fill?

[@Arthevandalism]

Awesome

[@JuManja]

Dear Jason, thanks for the tutorial. I have been using Inkscape 0.48.4 r9939, however, using pencil tool (F6), I can not see or get the handler to make the end thicker or bold as you show. Is this a new version ? or should I press an specific key or set any optin to get this cool behaivor of pencil tool ? ... Best Regards

[@howls34moons]

Ju Manja did you ever find out? I’m having the same problem

[@ajpink5880]

he's using a different kind of line. if you look at the top of the viewer, he's using the "Triangle In" setting.

[@kevingunarly6431]

Thankss

[@carmenbugeja8722]

Thank you. Good tutorial.

[@MaghoxFr]

Great tutorial.

[@marieseltenrych]

This is such a struggle for me. Lines are thick, horrid. Thanks for helping. Just trying to find the correct tool is flabbergastingly complex. Should be more simple I think. Like a small scroll similar to zoom in and out process.

[@JuManja]

... I use F6, Triangle In, draw my line, then I used node tool (F2), however I only got the handlers, the RED square on the node but I did not got the PURPLE handler you used on 1:34 of video. It is your Inscape version superior to Inkscape 0.48.4 r9939 ? thanks in advance.

[@mathghamain]

I downloaded the latest pre release version and it has these features in it.

[@JuManja]

great, I downloaded the last pre-release, and bingo!, finally I can do the same as your video... thanks a lot!

[@lohranrocha2584]

Your lines have a pink handle you can use to adjust the thickness of the stroke, that doesn't appear when I'm drawing; I looked everywhere already. How do you use it?

[@ruffethereal1904]

+Lohran Rocha He's using the "Triangle In" shape which you can see near the top of the bar. Not sure exactly how to use it but fiddling around a bit, I found it eventually.

[@richardbergsteinson2263]

Excellent - thanks ...!

[@amrmoneer5881]

i'm getting really harsh curves do u know how to fix this?

[@chazzsplash1234]

Thank you.

[@mahmodabdulsalam99]

Thank you for the video

[@KimFruitheads]

Very informative, thanks!

[@nadinewhite993]

I'm unable to 'open' a line wider as per 1:40ish. I have 1 node only at the end of the line - I don't have the smaller corner nodes to thicken/thin out the line. Any advice? :)

[@marccarson7620]

+Nadine White use the F2 key to switch to the node editing tool--make sure you're not using the Pencil tool for this step.

[@nadinewhite993]

+Marc Carson Thanks Marc. I think I must have a pretty old version of Inkscape and that could be the problem. f2 and f1 will switch from ‘edit path by nodes’ to ‘select and transform objects’, however I still only have one node at the end of a Bezier triangle in or triangle out line - no small corner nodes to drag the line thicker or thinner. I downloaded my version 17.11.2012 and I’ve never upgraded. Could that be the problem?

[@anzatzi]

wow

[@lorenzobernardo6743]

are you using a tab or just a regular mouse

[@lourdesredondo8138]

Hi, I'd like to know what did you do with the layers to make them look like onion skin.

[@RailRide]

It's the "Opacity" slider below the Layers list. Select the layer, slide the opacity down. Instant 'onion-skin'.

[@uniform92]

How bout the base drawing? Can u make that in inkscape?

[@alberth.1857]

are you using like one of those wacom tablets or just a mouse? I usually like to just use the mouse but wondering if I should get used to a tablet.

[@AJSchultz]

2019.02.09 2337h EST Albert H. the audible clicking suggests it's a mouse.

[@Suche13]

great tutorial! im looking for a free programme and this looks awesome. in an other tutorial that used illustrator the drawer created an own brush with pressure variation because of the graphic tablet she uses, can you create brushes and use them with a tablet like that in inkscape too?

[@marccarson7620]

+Anna Sanz yes, you can, see the calligraphy tool, which has presets for marker, dip pen, etc. I recreated the look of Copic markers for one of my projects.

[@LeDucTube]

When I edit the points, I'm unable to get the lines thicker as you did. I am not getting that pink point.

[@lizbethmendoza3772]

+LeDucTube try zooming in. It worked for me

[@LeDucTube]

+Lizbeth Mendoza Hmm... It's still not working.

[@lizbethmendoza3772]

+LeDucTube After you clicked the pen tool or the pencil tool, did you change Shape to Triangle In?

[@LeDucTube]

+Lizbeth Mendoza I don't know what you mean by Triangle In, but here is a screenshot. tinypic.com/view.php?pic=332uwxt&s=9#.VuI_hLyxZns

[@magic8447]

This was very helpful. Are you using your mouse or a stylus of some sort?

[@cmena801]

seriously thats my question?

[@Brickerbrack]

I can't speak for Jason, but personally, I don't find a drawing tablet very helpful when doing vector art; I'm far more comfortable just using my mouse and keyboard shortcuts.

[@jeysteel]

nice

[@bunniethebunnyfoxfnafhalfg908]

how to make smooth line of it?

[@mathghamain]

I am in the same position as JuManja, are you using a hotkey to thicken and thin the line ? is this a dev version. It looks great!

[@misterno1157]

How do you taper the path like that kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZjXmHiJf9B0Z5Y Could it be a Windows exclusive feature? (I'm using Linux) Or am did I miss something?

[@NoCommentaryGameplaySFL]

So your not "drawing" over the lines? Your using the tools to give you solid lines instead?

[@jeremyz7431]

what kind of windows do you have bruh

[@lindamermaid]

this would be more helpful if you said which button you are clicking on for each effect. Saying "if you click on this" or "if you click on that" doesn't help unless I watch carefully to see what you're clicking on.

[@ImmaterialDigression]

What version of Windows are you using jesus christ!

[@NijiDash]

ImmaterialDigression That's Windows 7 with Windows Classic style.

[@MaghoxFr]

+Marvin P. Correction, you're rocking windows 7 in classic style. Cool.

[@dead4390]

what windows is that

[@gammersrebbelion4438]

window xp made a decade or go like 17-16 years ago

[@gammersrebbelion4438]

how to update anyone????

[@elenaa4301]

1:38 and my jaw went south

[@gaminggyal6262]

is this not tracing??

[@sujurean]

Gaming Gyal technically yes but its more of a demonstration of how to use the vector program rather than how to create original artwork. Also when you do make vector art usually you start drawing a sketch either digitally or scanned in afterward

[@ShinyShilla]

red alert red alert TRACING! Btw are you tracing if you do lineart on your ruff/sketch?

[@ЛеоНид-ч2б8н]

in 2017 Ink still better than AI ?

[@ee-fq2dj]

2019 reporting in yes

[@homegrowndigitalmedia2283]

Pitbull?

[@HalkerVeil]

Is that Windows 95? lol

[@paolaantieri759]

No that's Windows 7 with Windows Classic style :)

Using inkscape svg for white board animation is suck.. try eksport it to videoscribe... Illustrator is the best choice

Bez-ee-ay. Repeat after me, s'il vous plait. Bez ee ay. Bez ee ay. It's not hard. It won't hurt you. Try it. You'll like it. You will sound smart instead like an idiot. (The worst and stupidest pronunciation I've heard is "beezer".)
