[@danielwalker5682]

Even as a total newcomer, I can see how brilliant and under-stated this man is.

[@tanyamackensen]

I just used this tutorial to create a self-portrait and the tutorial is beyond amazing - super detailed and very easy to follow. Love it.

[@sketch.sprints]

Thanks a bunch! I have watched your video more than 10 times and now I can make better vector portrait

[@CaseyWise]

Had no idea Inkscape could do this, thank you for posting, subscribed.

[@sketch.sprints]

It's super aesthetic. I loved it. And also I subscribed your channel so I don't miss your next videos.

Best portrait Inkscape tutorial

[@VivekSharma-hb2zn]

Very nice work

[@PCcardboard1354]

What I love about your art is your way of using color to enhance the base lines draw, and using thme in such an easy way on the eyes!!! good work.

[@expo20saga11]

Great detailed tutorial which highlights Inkscapes vector graphics capabilities and shows what you can achieve without bitmap raster graphics. Well done Zakey design for a superb tutorial. Like you say ...lets never stop learning.

[@sherriyost1520]

Thank you for this. I am a bit overwhelmed with all the info but I am also excited to learn.

[@psytoolkit]

Great tutorial.

[@82acresfarm]

A great demonstration and step by step of what Inkscape can do. Will have to check out the other videos on your channel. You can remove stroke if the shape is still selected by clicking on none in the lower colour pallet while holding shift. ( None being the white box with the X in it located in the lower left corner

[@ZakeyDesign]

thank you for the tips!

I did not like this video the first time I saw it. Coz I wanted to keep it a secret LOL. But then, this man deserves it. His pronunciation does not really matter here (although it could be a bit better). I became an inkscape pro from a noob, using this one video. Absolutely awesome content. KZbin needs more work like this.

which software is he using ?

[@NuMwhan-bg4fq]

when having a common border like between the jacket and the hair isnt possible to use it as a common border or must draw it twice for each element? doing so must be precise and do the work two times

[@ZakeyDesign]

yes, i usually draw twice

hello may i ask you, how to make custom theme like yours thanks

[@karlamichelle4946]

hello do i need to be good at drawing in order to create vector artwork

[@ZakeyDesign]

I think no. I'm not good at drawing, but I understand using the bezier tool to trace the image in Inkscape and practice constantly to trace the image.

[@rendonclarkson7644]

sir, is there an easier way than shift + L for disabling pen tool 2nd handle? thanks! 😊

[@ZakeyDesign]

i have same problem issue for this, the shorcut is awkward to press. recently just search for the shorcut in the .xml file but can't find the shift+L command, i want to change it to shift+C hope inkscape fix this issue.

[@rendonclarkson7644]

@@ZakeyDesign it's time consuming to unhand the mouse and go to L. But this video looks like he doesn't do it? or maybe because he speed up the video?

[@abhinabgogoi2000]

Sir can you please provide the color code in the description...it is hard to see

[@kinghadu9611]

what theme are you using on inkscape?

Pls add this color code in description

[@graphicdesigner9806]

awesome, how do you determine the diminsion (artboard) according to the pic sometimes the pic is very big comparing to the artboard do you use a same template for every illustration? thankyou.

[@ZakeyDesign]

yes, its using template

[@BlairSantos]

Thanks so much for the video! My question though is how can I break the curved path that gets auto generated after I just drew a curve? So this is what I'm doing Drawing 3 nodes with a problem between 2nd and 3rd node: 1. Bezier tool selected 2. Click on page to draw a node (Node 1) 3. Click another point (Node 2) and drag to draw a curved line connected the first two nodes. 4. [PROBLEM AREA] I want the THIRD node to have a straight path from the second node. Inkscape automatically makes the line between 2nd and 3rd nodes curvy, I don't want the line between 2nd and 3rd node to be curvy, I want it to be straight. I understand I can just press ENTER and then continue where I left off by drawing a straight line, but I want it to be a seamless, continuous path. Essentially, I want an abrupt break and to revert back to a straight line path instead of a continuation of a curve. Thank you!

[@ZakeyDesign]

hello, you can press shift+L in node 2 to node 3 to straighten the line without releasing it and hold ctrl to keep the line in straight then click to create the node 3

I was wondering the same thing, how are they created?

[@ardhiyanah5544]

@@rebeccaswayzee860 somebody says that it was a combination of synergy color, the thing in video is a rectangle with the colors, to gain it you can either go to coolors.co or just simply experimenting by yourself with the colot wheel in Inkscape

I have a question. How do you get the black lines around the eyes. Every time I do it - it just fills it.

[@ZakeyDesign]

in what minutes?

[@kdavidson6771]

@@ZakeyDesign Hi - in about 6:08. you are drawing around the eyes and they have a black outline.

[@ZakeyDesign]

@@kdavidson6771 i see, there are two ways to remove fills after using bezier tool. first, on bottom left, right click on fill > remove fill. second way, make sure to remove fill first in left bottom corner, so only stroke with black color. then go to Edit > Preferences > Tools > Pen > Click take from selection
