Inkscape Tutorial: 3D Vector Sphere Icon/Logo

[@LogosByNick]

If you want to learn more about how Inkscape works, I have a 50+ part video series where I explain all of the tools and features in Inkscape and demonstrate how they work. Here's the link if interested: logosbynick.com/inkscape/

[@justinchimento5654]

thanks this is actually oddly similar to what I had in mind for my own business, at least to start off with and I can always change it. Thank you for this

[@onesyphorus]

"you know what? i know some ppl are broke. i knew i'm fully capable of what that guy made in illustrator. so i'm gonna go the extra mile and make something just as good on inkscape- all free of charge, for random people on youtube". thank you, Nick.

[@lifelimitless1710]

I have downloaded Inkscape on Saturday. Finished all tutorials of TJ on Sunday. And now doing practical lesson on this one on 4th day. I must say, cracking Inkscape is made easy by you NIck. Thanks for the wonderful creativity dose.

[@somchaibrown6731]

This is probably my fourth or fifth logo I watch from Nick, awesome, quick and to the point! Thanks Nick for making the complex artwork simple to understand...

[@sexychickens4515]

You're the greatest tutorial maker for inkscape on youtube.

[@LogosByNick]

+Sexy Chickens Thank you!

[@sexychickens4515]

+Nick Saporito (LogosByNick) Welcome (:

[@digitaladskenya5729]

i second this @Nick Saporito @Sexy Chickens

[@JeremyRitcheyphixxer]

I've watched two of your videos and learned more about inkscape than I have from watching about 2 dozen videos in the past couple weeks. Thanks so much for the help, as I've always been a paintshop/Photoshop guy!

[@LogosByNick]

+Jeremy Ritchey (phixxer) Wow, had no idea my tutorials were that helpful. Thanks!

[@robertoochoa7934]

this guy is like a digital bob ross

[@RoboticCreators]

well, I have to say , The best TEACHER is someone who makes you fall in love with the subject even if its damn boring, and yes u made me fall in love with inkscape.

[@tiagoas171]

this separates an artist, real designer to corel addicted ones ... congratulations for the outstanding desing, wish i'll be some day like that.

[@ahmeddeiaa3943]

your tutorials are amazing..... you make me believe that Inkscape is awesome every time I watch your videos

[@LogosByNick]

+ahmed deia Thanks! I aspire to put Inkscape on the map and start digging in to Adobe's market share 8)

[@dreeze49]

You are incredible! This is literally giving me a headache. There are so many steps it'll take me 5 yrs just to create this on my own.

[@acabbie]

great tutorial there Nick, really showing us what can be achieved with inkscape. There's not many inkscape tuts on youtube that are as well explained as yours and i look forwards to each new one. thanks for your time and commitment.

[@justinchimento5654]

Oddly enough I had something similar in mind for a logo I'm working on for my own business. I am gonna change the colors and the shape a bit and add some text but this was a huge help since I need to save as much money as possible for what I need to do and once I get more established I can change it if need be.

[@eljanagugu1439]

wow! this was amazing. I'm actually a beginner and I haven't taken any classes, but it turned out pretty good. Thanks a lot

[@JQ-Frances]

Incredible just how you could come up with those amazing logo ideas by just simply manipulating different shapes and colours...absolutely inspiring and stunning

[@GraphicDesignStudio]

Wow great tutorial.. No need illustrator

[@LogosByNick]

Thanks, you have some great Inkscape videos on your channel as well

[@Bradyboy26]

best inkscape tut i have seen so far good job

[@LogosByNick]

+brady_boy 26 Thank you

[@Bradyboy26]

your welcome

[@TheZiZaZo]

You are very good at explaining things! Thanks for including all the small tips in the video, too!

[@gjaynir0508]

I am a big fan of your videos. When I first opened this application, I couldn't understand a single thing but your videos helped me learn this awesome open source software and now, I use this software daily. Thanks a lot. I like the way you show the keys you are pressing and the mouse clicks. I tried using carnac but it wasn't that good. It would be really helpful if you could tell which app you use for that. Hope you don't take it wrong.

[@geswinfitness8005]

Thank you Nick. Awesome stuffs! I just downloaded inkscape and will have fun with it. Keep up good stuffs coming. I highly appreciate it

[@DimitriBoyarski]

OMG dude I just stayed up till 5 am doing your tutorials. Didn't wanna sleep anyway :`(

[@josemesacabellos9465]

I count my subscriptions with the fingers of one hand... You are one right now. Need I say more? ;). Great job man. Thanks a lot.

[@srv232]

Complete mastery of the software. Thanks so much.

[@KnightBott]

Sweet! I saw that same Illustrator video. I love taking Adobe videos and making the same things as them using Inkscape and Gimp. This video was great. Subscribed!

[@LogosByNick]

Thanks. Yeah I like showing people that Inkscape can do virtually anything Illustrator can.

[@jefferex1]

Thanks, for making me realize I waste $300 on adobe illustrator and photoshop. Subscribed

[@derrickfyffe7269]

Hey Nick. Thanks for the videos. I just started learning Inkscape, and it is going good so far. Keep up the good work.

[@mardanafin]

I like the way you describe things to audiences

[@dianecollins6674]

This is a fun way of getting really creative with shapes! Thank you!

[@CleverMarkDesign]

Very creative form. I also manged to make something with myself in 2013, also on KZbin, video tutorial for Illustrator. Just type 3D logo! I think now that my video has just over 700,000 views. I am surprised because some people are now seeing for the first time. Luckily not violated the copyrights of authors! Please!

[@LogosByNick]

+Clever Mark Yes I saw it. I wanted to show people how to create the design in Inkscape, although you executed the design much better than I did. Great work!

[@abaholech6297]

The best Inkscape tutorial available, definitely i subscribe. GREAT JOB!

[@LogosByNick]

+aba holech Thank you for subscribing!

[@kuroshikki708]

[@tanalee229]

As mentioned below, magic. Great skills, Nick.

[@rblihovde]

Great video! I always learn something when I watch your videos, from now on I'm double clicking to add a gradient stop!

[@LogosByNick]

+Bob Blihovde It's definitely a much easier approach. I always knew about it, but didn't realize how much easier it is until recently.

[@rmjrmj4]

Amazing, I learned so much... now I just can't forget it.

[@GNU_Linux_for_good]

I had to subscribe. This is great stuff. Thanks a lot.

[@LogosByNick]

[@crossbladevi]

[@salauddeensyed5295]

[@lakshyasingh9259]

Great Tutorials. Watched three in a row. Subscribed. thanks for educating.

[@ramp695]

I am learner. very inspired with your design skills. Thanks for the presentation.

[@LogosByNick]

+Ramesh Pydi Thanks for watching!

[@kenwu7]

near the 14:38 mark, when you were talking about the space left over near the grey and blue... If you zoom in and click (possibly double click) you can adjust the edge of the shape i.e. pull a corner to the edge of the sphere without adjusting the entire shape itself. Hope thats clear :) (ver. 0.92.3)

[@wishmaster3000]

That logo looks really awesome! Great tutorial, thank you. Just found out about Inkscape today, of course I'm interested! Keep it up

[@AllenWheels]

thank you for the great tutorial! very cool example and your instructions were simple and easy to follow

[@IRISHEYEZFILMS]

Hey Nick, Is it possible to turn a flat 2-D logo of three figure eights into a 3-D sphere? If so, what program would be best and most user-friendly? Thank you for this video !

[@SarahAlJeohanny]

Thank you for sharing this, it was fantastic, you are a real digital artist

[@musatov75]

[@WedersonWinchester]

I really like these tutorials.

[@expressocean9874]

Excellent! I love your videos, they are some of the best and most helpful!

[@hangugeohaksaeng]

Awesome job Nick! No need to apologize for "Sloppy work". It doesn't even look bad to me and I understand that if you were doing this on your own time as it were, you would correct the little stuff. Thanks for not obsessing -- for the video's sake. :) Thanks again.

[@combat2ouf1]

wow ! what a job !!! you have some awesome skills, dude. very impressive inkscape tutorial ever. thank you very much ! please don't stop ;-)

[@bijaydahal0]

Thank you very much.... I am interested in learning graphics and your channel is helping me to pursue my learning with free open source software. thank you so much.

[@aranharsin9719]

I probably missed something but when you cahnge the opacity on 4:54 On my inkscape it still displays the image at 4:55 but with brighter colours. What did i do wrong?

[@ElliotGraham]

I'm finding these videos extremely useful for finding nice techniques for making nice drop shadows and how to achieve certain geometries. Can you suggest any books or magazines which are useful for giving ideas for what to incorporate into designs? Great videos!

[@alkaupadhyay7650]

Man chwck out some international buisness magazines. The companies have a lot of logos and related stuff.

[@0004voltz]

Awesome Tutorial man

[@hamadykais9318]

Amazingly beautiful. Although I can't "follow" your steps and your imagination. Really beautiful.

[@canvastic]

Lovely tutorial! I used some of your awesome tips to create a vector coffee cup! :D

[@LogosByNick]

+SD Origami Cool, glad to hear :)

[@cube_view]

Its a very very good tutorial👍👍👍

[@broderp]

@14:15 Inkscape will not allow me to create the center point for the gradient. ???? The other gradients worked fine....

[@apetzon]

I cant find the snap to custom nodes Burton on my interface and cant find custom in View? How do I do That? I Am using the latent version of inkscape. Thanks for an awesome tutorial.

[@mosog8829]

I had no idea inkscape can do this. Thanks

[@jacobdavid]

Great video. Thank you for sharing. You have good mastery over Inkscape.

[@GwlaS]

Great tutorial, I really like it. Simple to follow

[@graphguy]

How do you get that little keyboard insert at the bottom left of the screen that shows the key sequence you push?

[@fonzjedelarosa7587]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@eroScorp12]

You are a magician, for real!

[@gregghardin6506]

That's really cool,Nick! Thanks.

[@Ekraelum]

This helped me a lot with my homework. SUBSCRIBED.

[@WedersonWinchester]

Now I know the technique, I need now the inspiration.

[@manutegg82]

great tutorial!! A huge contribution.

[@LogosByNick]

+Manuel Garcia Thanks!

[@kingmenka2085]

Awesome design thanks

[@joeyselk8447]

Wonderful tutorial. Very beginner friendly!

[@RebelliousX]

This is great video, but in my opinion @9:44 was the best this shape will ever be, you could have ended there. The reason is, @9:44 the blue spherical ball was looking like it is in the center of the outer shell. Unlike the final image, which it looks behind the shell. Thanks for your video, it is awesome, "just like that" XD

[@LogosByNick]

+RebelliousX82 Thanks. You have a good point!

[@Sakshishandmades]

Amazing video again 👌👌👌👌

[@bobcatt2294]

Have you produced an update to this task for the current version of Inkscape?

[@eternalflame1548]

Wow dude... great video. Thank you

[@diwakarnautiyal7088]

thank you. very nice tutorial

[@LikeTanya]

thank you very much from Russian student :) it`s very very cool!

[@lemmebee2385]

logo made on this software can be commercially used? I mean can I use the logo made on this software for my KZbin channel and monetize those videos?

[@LogosByNick]

Yes, as long as your designs don't violate anyone else's copyrights and/or are used as "fair use". But yes, Inkscape creations can be used commercially. I've made a lot of money using Inkscape :)

[@InnerTranquility]

Holy, that's beautiful!

[@LogosByNick]

+InnerTranquility Thank you

[@rmstm5640]

cool it gives me a lot of ideas thank you !

[@fjsolis26]

Thank you for sharing your expertise!!!

[@shadowstunting1447]

How do you make the outline were all the tools are black mines white?

[@LogosByNick]

I wrote an article about how to do so here: blog.logosbynick.com/design/how-to-make-inkscape-go-dark/

[@dollieelizabethjames343]

Nick , can you please do tutorial videos on Hitfilm 4 Express ? Like how to add motion graphics on videos and all.

[@douglasmoratorres6745]

Really great tutorials! Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@7om5]

1:25 it doesn't show me the arrows needed to continue please help

[@myname-dq5sw]

Great! Pulling this with inkscape!

[@3deeguy]

Gorgeous artwork.

[@patricio1163]

You are a genius!! Thanks very much!!

[@savagejoe4368]

wauw very nice tutorial

[@emeksestudio]

Hello, thanks for the useful video. I have a question: If I draw an object, for example, a colored circle and create a light effect with create and edit gradients (Ctrl + F1), then I can not save the object with light effect together to an object. The object and the light effect dissolve as soon as I move it, even if I try to combine it with Ctrl + G or Ctrl ++ before. how so? Thanks in advance for the answers.

[@Superspiderbatman2]

hello...pretty good tutorials, maybe a little advanced for a Inkscape beginner but i'll try to keep up.

[@pinbota]

Awsome tutorial right here:)

[@LogosByNick]

+Arch Koven Thank you

[@thirtysixzed]

Thanks man, this was very helpful. Subscribed.

[@LogosByNick]

Thanks!

[@Gray-Wolf-Media]

Nick I followed what you did and for some reason I had a black border that was around the object, so if i lowered the opacity the object was clear but still had like a wireframe

[@LogosByNick]

It's probably a stroke (outline). With the object selected, hold shift and click on the X at the bottom left corner next to the color black. That should turn it off.

[@Gray-Wolf-Media]

ok thanks

[@angelapeligrino9899]

Hi Nick, Can I use Inkscape to upload vector in Shutterstock? and how? I always get errors etc. thanks

[@grey_mouse]

Very, very nice. ...and one day I'd like to see a not perfectly round circle. 😉 I think a circle is always perfectly round, otherwise it is an ellipse.

[@jaimejlolopez]

What version of Inkspace is this? I downloaded Inskpace 0.9.2.2 with totally different icons and screen display than yours. Please inform me. I like this SW.
