[@romeorel1679]

Even 6 years ago, you already had this captivating voice. From your student in your Inkscape course 👋

Best GIMP AND INKSCAPE TEACHER EVER! I have been watching nicks video's for months now and I have learnt so much, I just gotta Thank U Man! U the Best.

[@LogosByNick]

Thanks for your support!

[@edisvila]

He really is. The only thing that would make his videos even better would be if he also applied his systematic approach on designing the series and not only the videos. In my opinion that would make his lessons even more effective and would automatically lead to more views on his other videos as one needs to watch them to progress in the learning process. But he seems to know what he does, maybe it's not his intention to use his KZbin channel like that. Nonetheless his videos are of outstanding quality.

[@inventify_club]

I am progressing in inkscape just because of Nick thanks a lot dude and keep up the good work

[@salmanbabar]

You uploaded this tutorial just in time. I have an app to submit as a project, now I can make an icon for it. Thanks Nick, your tutorials are really helpful.

[@LogosByNick]

Awesome, great timing

I'd like to thank you profusely for all your amazing tutorials. Love you!

[@rahulmathew8713]

Awesome work. Please continue. I just started studying making icons for my desktop apps.

[@adolfodanielbanegaseuceda5687]

Hi! hola! espero que puedas leer esto, yo hablo español, no entiendo el inglés ni lo hablo, pero en busca del conocimiento conocí tu canal, y a pesar de la barrera del idioma entiendo a la perfección lo que explicas, lástima que en el habla hispana no haya canales de inkscape muchas gracias, sigue así! Thanks!

[@cartoon80s90s]

This was immensely useful for a beginner like me. You are amazing.

[@hadirotafoua5381]

With just a video I achieved my goal.. thanks so much

[@abdullahalabdulwahab6672]

perfect as always ...thanks Nick

[@jamesfc30]

Hi Nick, I love using Inkscape for some of my projects. Your video tutorials are awesome. I've learned a lot of new design techniques from them. Do you have a tutorial on creating a zigzag with Inkscape? If not would you consider creating one? Again thanks for your hard work providing these video tutorials. James

[@vitalyRodero]

Let me congratulate you Dude. Very profesional work. Thanks a lot.

[@ayeshaparveen5088]

Why cant we create a box with rounded edges straight as you did with rectangle in letter D tutorial?

[@minleyfox5231]

The batch export seems to work. You can't specify the folder however the individual selections are exported next to the inkscape file! I am using version 1.0.1

[@shater1164]

Great idea, good tut Nick, thanks.

[@Icontaria]

Very good video 😀 I don't know how to make the perfect pixel in inkscape, can you make the turorial? please.. 🙏

[@braindroid9696]

Amazing tutorial and great service to the design community! Thanks so much. I do have a problem with Paste Size. It doesn't seem to work for me on Mac. I tried it multiple times. Otherwise, I have managed to follow your tutorials including this one except for this one issue. Any idea what could be wrong?

[@mpg7886]

Your tutorials are awesome! How do I save these icons as .ico file? My Inkscape version does not give that option. I used a .svg to.ico converter. But I need a set of icons in different sizes. Thanks!

I came back to this video yesterday ad i remember it mentioned batch export. Initially i was confused that it didn't work as i expected the same as you did: export severals selected items in several files. But i finally understand what the batch export is made for : export the same thing in several formats (ie one export to generate a pdf, a png, a jpeg .... At once). Maybe for once it's me teaching you something instead of the numerous time it was the opposite 😂

[@LykMike]

Your awesome Nick much appreciated thanks man!

[@sgs6753]

Thank you Nick for great informations, on Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya, Kernel 4.8.0-58 : Cinnamon 3.4.4, Batch export work fine (on Version 0.92) . Saves a lot of time.

[@todddewitt1595]

Out of curiosity, why don't you use the Clone function? I know it doesn't work for all instances, but just curious if there was a reason.

[@LogosByNick]

I've used it in other tutorials. It's more time-consuming than other options, so I rarely use it.

[@todddewitt1595]

I guess I haven't made it to those videos yet. They're pretty restricted on what you can do so I thought I would ask. I ran into issues using them where I don't think my PC could keep up with it. Keep up the good work!

[@jimmyboy8005]

Nick, can one batch export the icons as svg's?

[@Ki-Lessons]

Great video. Love your style. Happen to know a way to build a bunch of icons, and have each one save from the same page as separate SVG files (each file resetting the offset back to 0,0)? I assume that was what you were trying to do with Batch, but it fails. This seems to be what most of us would want to do, especially those of us that make a LOT of icons for a UI.

[@andyc5714]

Hi Nick, i have recently found your videos and they are great. Just one question - do you do all of your work in Inkscape (for vector graphics) and what is the reason you don't use Adobe Ilustrator? I am just curious, but i am actually really happy that you are using open source software for your tutorials.

[@eterno1610]

Hello Nick! I hope you can help. Just downloaded Inkscape, and i have little problem, i don't have that x; y; width; hight tab. How do i open it? thanks.

[@LogosByNick]

Do you have the Select tool selected? It only appears with the select tool.

[@eterno1610]

oh wow, when i searched for any tabs that can be open i didn't realized i clicked on it and after i restarted inkscape its there. Thanks. :D

[@smishyt]

Nick, you're awesome. Cheers.

[@viktorkuzmanov3086]

Can you actually use this software on mac in 2018 ? If yes, is it good for making app icons

[@jorgemontoya3153]

When I move the square, the gradient will disappeared. What am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot for all your tutorials, you are awesome!!

[@codinghusky5196]

Love the video, thank you so much!!! Hate your interface though. It's great to work on, I'm sure; but a dark theme + custom icons == pain in the @$$ for a n00b to figure out what button you just clicked...

[@hillyerhobbies8014]

yur the man Nick!

[@bimagv]

thank you nick!

[@hej0ssxd867]

Nick, Can you help me? I need logo, but I don't know what can be it. Logo to nick "CresixU". I wanted C+U, but it's something like your logo and I don't wanna copy. Have you any Ideas?

[@reiam4713]

appreciate your work very much, thank you!

[@pedromedina5781]

Hey nick I love your work first of all, could you do a tutorial on how to convert to ai, pdf.

[@johnlight-knight8060]

Looking good! :D

[@asyoudo9936]

Hey Nick, Have you tried Affinity Designer? Im wondering how it is compared to Inkscape.

[@LogosByNick]

Haven't tried it yet, sorry

[@yuqe]

great! as always!

[@hectorblue6124]

Thanks!

[@shubham_dalvi]

Hi Nick, some day also tell us how to export image. I know it's 'File> Export as png' but we get edge-to-edge image with that. Isn't it possible to get 1024X1024 resolution for some rectangular graphics?

[@LogosByNick]

I have a video explaining this. It's called Inkscape Explained: Exporting Files I think. It should appear if you search that term.

[@shubham_dalvi]

+Nick Saporito (LogosByNick) Thanks! I guess, I missed it. I will check it definitely!

[@O1A1Richards]

Great video

[@davidhodges8156]

Hi Nick, thanks as always for great content. Do you use a drawing tablet and do you recommend its us with illustrator/inkscape?

[@LogosByNick]

I don't use a drawing tablet and haven't tried using one, so I can't really make any recommendations either way.

[@anthonywalter3976]

wow your channel is amazing Nick! let me ask you a dumb question... is it possible to use adobe files and open them up with GIMP, INKSPACE, KRITA? I mean, which files we can open it without getting errors? and also, could you make a video of your own review about these linux softwares, and what do you think about them compared to adobe ecosystem? I'm amazed with these softwares... I'd like to know more

[@LogosByNick]

Well I know that Photoshop files (.psd) can be opened in GIMP without a problem. If using a Linux OS, Illustrator files (.ai) can be opened with Inkscape, but there are sometimes errors. Same with .eps - Inkscape can open it, but there's something errors. Other than that, you best bet is to just pay for Adobe stuff if you really need to open their proprietary formats on a regular basis..

[@anthonywalter3976]

Thanks Nick. .psd is the mainstream, so I think I won't need .ai as I could see through your videos, Inkspace is less complex than photoshop while creating some stuffs. I may be wrong but, seems easy in some moments. Keep up with your videos, at the moment, I've never seen any channel better than yours. simply fantastic!

[@TruthFreedomTV]

Can you show us How To Design & Prepare App Icons in Gimp??

[@Kjnhcan9x]

Great!

[@scorpionweb884]

Hey Nick , Can you please make A tutorial on Designing and preparing Characters In INkscape Please :( :( :(

[@Cronay]

Merci.

[@SuperAlboni]

My user interface looks so wildly different I can't find half of the functions.

[@TribbleLPTV]

Like for that Thumbnail, teaching me how icons work to use it for gimp

[@LogosByNick]

Whatever works!

[@PTM1008]

I just don't seem to get out of your playlists... I decide to watch another channel but I am dragged back to your content...
