Thanks for this. I downloaded Inkscape awhile back but didn’t get anywhere with it because I didn’t understand any of it. I’m sure I’ll be replaying your tutorials several times but this one started clearing the fog for me.

[@IronEchoDesign]

That's awesome. I love that feeling when things start to click. Thank you!

[@littletownlad9988]

You have a real skill for clarity and pacing. I have used Adobe Creative Cloud for years but don't want to pay hundreds a year to rent software. Yet I could not get my head around Inkscape. This was the first time I watched an Inkscape tutorial that was crystal clear and I totally got everything. Top man!

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you very, very much! I feel the same way about renting software.

[@donnaleiber6214]

Outstanding overview and introduction! Your presentation style is engaging, articulate, and appropriately paced. Very helpful content. I look forward to watching many more of your videos.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the support, and I'll keep making these!

[@wisdomlounge4452]

What you did to make the shield was amazing! That's because I saw a tutorial from another KZbinr who made the same shield using a much more complicated process. He combined a rectangle with a oval shape beneath it and a triangle for the bottom. It took him several attempts to get sizes right of each shape to finally form the overall shape of the shield. Then, he perform the difference function I believe, to finally arrived at the shape of the shield with the one stroke line on the outside and fill color within. Your method was much, much, simpler! Even before you made the shield I could already tell you know your stuff with Inkscape. Great tutorial covering all the basics we'd need to get started. Thank you! - "Like" & Subscribe buttons smashed!!!👍

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the support and I'll keep at it.

[@XingWithJulie]

Oh my god this was such an amazing tutorial. I’ve had Inkscape mainly for converting raster images to vector images but you taught me so many thing I had no clue about. Thank you!!

[@Redeemed0923]

You are great! Thank you for this very easy to follow and thorough guide. I've been using Inkscape for a bit, but am still a beginner. I learned a few things watching this. Thank you so much!! Subscribing now. Have a blessed day.

[@brentonreed6834]

Thank you so much for this video, I've recently started using Inkscape and I'm overwhelmed by all the functions + tools but they way you explained everything just gives me the assurance I needed. Keep up the good work Rick

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks so much!! I'll keep making these. Always trying to help.

[@blackcranedesign]

Thank you Rick this is by far one of the best tutorials for Inkscape I have seen in a long time. Your patience with making sure that every detail is explained is fantastic! I can't wait to see your other lessons. Thank you please keep up the good work.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the support!

[@dawn4627]

THANK YOU! I just wasted my entire morning watching other KZbinrs ramble on and on but not teach me a single thing! You explained everything so clearly... And now I finally have a little bit of working knowledge on how to use Inkscape. Thank you for this!

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks so much!! Inkscape is really fun to use. Good luck on your journey, and let me know if I can help along the way!

[@maritadutoit7316]

New on Inkscape ! Now this was a great tutorial. This was very helpful and very well explained. Thank you so much

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you so much!

[@Freeman1776]

Can you tell me how to call up that list of tools at top of page? I'm trying to find the paintbrush to follow your tutorial and can't find a way to show the same tools you have at top of the work page. HELP!

[@IronEchoDesign]

For sure! I think there have been some changes in Inkscape since I recorded this video. To get the toolbar on the top choose View from the top menu and towards the bottom of the drop down you'll see 3 choices: Default, Custom, and Wide. Change it to Custom and that will put toolbars at the top. Does that help? If you mean the modifications choices specific to each tool, make sure you have the tool selected and then they'll appear. Hope this helps!!

[@dano1346]

Ooooo...snap. Thanks for this. I was in the same boat.

[@lucianchevvy97]

This was great man, cracked me up how happy you get just explaining basic tools when you must use them all the time. You started glowing when describing the gradient tool hahah

[@IronEchoDesign]

Haha- ah yes... that gradient tool still gets me. The way the colors blend... thing of beauty.

[@JimRoberts]

Just went thru the video on a 39deg morning in Florida. Got thru most of the stuff with a bunch of start stop rewinds as I duplicated the work. On the text to page once i had my cutout circle I just selected the existing "donut" and text to path to it and flipped and slid it around. Was easier than drawing another circle and guessing the size.

[@IronEchoDesign]

I used to live in Florida! All I had for a jacket on those days was light barn coat. Great idea on the Text to Path!

[@jjjdrone6695]

thank you for your work!!! This really helped me get a better idea of what inkscape has to offer!

Thank you!! Inkscape's great, and I was hoping this tutorial might help others get a good start with it.

Any chance for a "pre-beginner's guide"? I just want to upload an SVG file and reduce the size, then download as a PNG file for engraving purposes. Not at all ready to create anything from scratch.

[@IronEchoDesign]

I think this is a great idea. I was drafting a video of 10 common beginner questions or something like that. I'll use your comment as one of the questions if that's okay?

[@Arinlis]

Thank you! Really quick start I will definitely watch this script more than 10 times. 🤭

Love your channel! I stumbled across it as I was looking how to change a PNG to a SVG on Inkscape. Before I knew it, I was down a rabbit hole watching the background removal video and then this one. You're great explaining the technology - thank you!

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you!! I love going down video rabbit holes! I'll have to add more to the channel so there are more places to burrow!

[@darija5494]

Can you make a video about mistakes beginners usually make in designing clipart? What are some of the things we should pay attention when we design? How to achieve CMYK color of our clipart in Inkscape. Is it possible? Thank you😊

[@IronEchoDesign]

These are great ideas! I’ll see if I can script out a beginner mistake video. The CMYK color request has been a hot topic for a few years with Inkscape. As far as I understand it’s not possible yet.

[@rahulkumar-qb3yc]

I was just tired of searching for a beginner's guide for Inkscape. But when I clicked on your video, it was so easy to understand basic tools and everything. You are doing good work. Best of luck.

[@trinitri9345]

Dude, this video was extremely helpful!!! You're going a bit too fast so I have to stop and rewind but otherwise an excellent video!!! Thank you!!!

[@brainangles]

Thanks! What a great tutorial. So many familiar features from my work with CorelDraw years ago when graphics programs were called computer software not apps. lol

[@IronEchoDesign]

Haha. Exactly! I like designing at my desk on wide screen monitors. Apps are great for on the move, but half the fun is creating the art and seeing it full size!

[@UniversalDesignz]

Draw back you can't create multiple Canvas/Pages I totally agree it's almost a replica of Old CorelDraw they really need to make the right click function same as Corel as well (colouring outline, Duplications etc.)

[@IronEchoDesign]

I loved CorelDraw back in the day. Also used their video editing software at one point. Multiple page / canvas feature is coming.

Very very nice. Now I’m not gonna be so freaked out about Inkscape. I understand it a little better thanks to your demonstrations. Thank You so so much. You are an excellent tutor. I surely appreciate you. Again, thank you.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you so much!! Inkscape is a lot of fun, and the more you play with it, the easier it is. Thanks again!

[@syzygy4365]

Same, I tried Inkscape a long time ago, but gave up because of its complexity. Things should go smoother now that I've been designing for almost years years now. 🥰

The program keeps getting better too. Have fun creating!

[@sayinpride]

Hello, I'm having trouble modifying my gradients. Trying to change the colors of the box and I am using the pencil to click on where I want the gradient color to change. Sorry for the inconvenience. Any help would be great. Thanks!

[@IronEchoDesign]

Happy to help! Couple of quick things to check that might solve it. Make sure the rectangle is selected and on the Fill and Stroke Menu, you want to be on Fill. Sometimes people are on the Stroke section and click on Linear gradient, but then the gradient bar shows up and pencil edits seem to do nothing. The other thing to check is that the opacity slider isn't all the way to transparency. Do either of these help?

[@kieronlutchman9349]

you made everything so clear, extremely helpful!

Excellent video and guide but boy do you rattle through the topics quickly. Lucky you can keep pausing and re-running back over things. Love the style of the video too which was upbeat and fun. Thanks so much for making the video as when you first look at Inkscape it is like looking into the void. I will keep practicing and coming back to this for tips and tricks. Keep up the great work.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks so much!! I tried to do the pacing better in the update I made to this video for the newest version. Also fixed some of the toolbar changes to keep things current. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXTEioCiqsyEr8U

[@frasermay7825]

I've been using Xara since it first appeared, but now that it's owned by Magix there are constant nags to upgrade at a cost. Inkscape is very tempting as I've also been contemplating bailing out of windows and moving to Linux Mint....

[@IronEchoDesign]

Sounds good. Inkscape is worth a try. Free all the time and there is a Linux compatible version.

[@freddavis5544]

trying to follow your mouse movements is very frustrating. your down here then over to left then back up clicking so fast my eyes just can't keep up. Guess I'll do what my son says to do just play with it. You know the Bible method, seek and ye shall find.

Sorry about that. I’ve tried to improve my technique and remade this video. Similar title, but with blue thumbnail.

You’re amazing! That trick to group things to stop the text from jumping is not working anymore :( and it’s such a useful feature

Thankyou for actually explaining tNice tutorialngs. Other videos that I watched started talking about how to make soft and didn't ntion anytNice tutorialng

What do you do if the geometric construction tool is shown as 'on' in the toolbar preferences but does not appear on the actual toolbar? Version1.2.2 on windows 11

[@IronEchoDesign]

Great question. It's been removed from the new versions of Inkscape. I really liked using it. Mirror Symmetry is still available in the Live Path Effects menu.

[@robinszmagaj1398]

What version of Inkscape is this? I downloaded the latest which was the 1.2 2. I don’t think that is what you were running here, so i deleted it. I am so not good with this kind of thing, but am eager to learn. With that being said i want to learn on the version you are teaching here. Cant thank you enough for your help!!!

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks so much! This was an older version of Inkscape. I updated the video for the latest version if it helps here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXTEioCiqsyEr8U

This is an amazing video tutorial. i learn so much from your videos,thank you

[@IronEchoDesign]

[@ssergeant9682]

Loved the tutorial. still trying to figure out how to revert my star shape back to normal. but I'll keep watching. There is a lot of information. thank you. I downloaded the most recent version which is a little newer than the one you're using. I've decided to go back to normal as opposed to dark mode. some of the tools are very hard to see. I also don't think I have all the toolbars you show. I'm sure there is a way but perhaps you have to be working with that specific item for the related toolbars to show?

[@Chadikenz]

just found your video! loving it! but why does my stroke say unset?And I can't seem to change it anywhere or find the settings in preferences

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you so much! I believe the stroke will be unset by default. Once you create a shape or something- say a rectangle for example if you pull up the Fill and Stroke menu it will still have Stroke unset. Click on the Stroke tab to move off the X and select the color you want. Hope this helps!

[@TheJinhuo]

Hey Love your Videos but my interface doesn't look like yours almost at all. Feel like I'm missing a couple of your tool bars so its harder to follow along. Do you know how to get it to look exactly like yours?

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks! And you're right. I filmed this video when an older version of Inkscape was out. If you go to View and look towards the bottom of the drop down menu, change it to custom and the Toolbars should look more similar to mine. Can you let me know if it works?

[@nanettolivo4072]

Why is it when I use my bezier pen I get a black line but not shaded in like your tutorial? When I finish tracing around my picture it just looks like an outline.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Good question. You can adjust the transparency of the stroke from the Fill and Stroke Menu. The opacity slider is the horizontal bar towards the bottom of the Fill and Stroke menu. Does this help?

Hey I just recently download this and I can’t find the paint

[@IronEchoDesign]

Paint bucket? Or paint brush? The newest version of Inkscape still has Paint Bucket as a default tool on the side toolbar. The equivalent of paint brush is under the tool icon that looks like an old fashioned quill pen. Hope this helps!

[@raehansagita1616]

If you're designing a logo, where do you start? I often don't know what to do, even though I've been in front of a computer screen for hours, my brain feels empty

[@IronEchoDesign]

I know the feeling, and I think all creatives have been there. One thing I find that helps in logo design to spark inspiration is to think of who the audience/customer base is. The next tutorial I'm recording for this channel is actually a circle logo template. Maybe elements of it could be a starting point for something new?

[@paulclaven5086]

[@ihartyoutubification]

My toolbar doesn't look like yours at the top how do I fix that ?

[@IronEchoDesign]

This is an older version of Inkscape from a few years back. In 1.2 the settings changed again. Sometimes it defaults to widescreen with one of the toolbars on the right. Check in the View dropdown to see if Widescreen is selected. Or under Edit- Preferences- Toolbars they are some options you can adjust. Hope this helps!

This comment is probably not related to this video but here goes. I am trying to create a shape for a tapered mug then be able to import the file and then upload in Cricut Design Space where I can then make openings for the handles and move on. I probably don't know how to search to find out how to do this (don't know the lingo). I want to make a shape that is 11.063 on the top, 10.813 on the bottom and 4.25 on the two sides. I have tried numerous methods of going to online label maker (tapered label) and the size is great if I want to cut out a template by hand. It saves as a pdf, then I do pdf to png. When I upload to cricut the lines are not crisp. So all I want to do is create a shape with these dimensions but do not know how or if this is even possible. Can you provide insight please?
