Thank you very much for your effort to teach from start to finish. So helpful and interesting

[@creative_hax]

LOVE your videos. This was fantastic.

[@rockyhudson7814]

Thank you Crafty Stax. I've been using Inkscape for a few years now, but I didn't really know how to transform photos. And now you've shown me. Thank you so much!

[@mikerodrick2430]

This is a great tutorial. Easy to follow & understand. Thanks for sharing it!

[@shazndavereynolds6976]

[@evefavorse5939]

Wow, a fantastic tutorial! Thanks for sharing

[@marisacaruana9809]

Oh! I really enjoyed this tutorial and artwork. So cool👏👏Thanks

[@cacevedo07]

Another awesome video tutorial from you. Many thanks!

[@janeleigh3835]

Your teaching is amazing, thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@jennhall522]

I had no idea what that style was called, thanks! That looked really easy, so I downloaded Inkscape on my MacBook and had some issues figuring out what shortcut keys to use, but once I got it, it went much faster. Awesome!

[@pemujailhamhidupmantap7018]

awesome

[@hansbonnevier5022]

Thanks Zen! This was very interesting. I will start to exercise to hopefully get the same flow as you.

[@annyhalpin9419]

Such a great tutorial verification of Basics really useful.I had not known where to start with Inkscape but this has encouraged me this has encouraged me to do just that.A huge thank-you.

[@kinetpaintworks6528]

I watch your videos every single one. It is very useful to me as an artist. But this one is my favorite coz I love colors and somewhat similar to my painting techniques. So this year I will be starting working on digital painting and Inkscape is very useful and easy to use. Thank you so much for introducing this software. Keep producing more of this crafty stax! 😊

[@craftystax]

I appreciate the feedback, thank you so much! Awesome to hear!

[@sephineminien3230]

Nice tutorial, a lot of work. I would wait until everything was colored, select all and remove stroke. I would also make some custom swatches, makes it faster to pick colors, but that's just how I work. Thanks for all the tips.

[@dkstudioart]

Well, this motivated me to finally download Inkscape (I used to be a prolific CorelDraw user) and give it a go. I think I might like to apply this style to classic cars and vintage photographs, (featuring classic cars).

[@crazyDIYguy]

Love your videos, if I was paying thousands for this in college it would be money well spent. Exceptional and thorough down to earth teaching style, really appreciate your content 👍💯😎

[@craftystax]

I sincerely appreciate the feedback, thank you!!

[@99shoebox]

great tutorial. I got a bit lost with the layers bit. not sure if I missed that bit, but other than that, great. thank you.

[@SurgzSeattleEvents]

I have been watching all ur inkscapes tutorials, I haven't used it yet. It's intimidating...this would be way down the road but I wanna try for sure .. thank you for the videos

[@Fioneenacockeen]

Wonderful. Thank you so much.

[@giorgiogorgeous5570]

Thank you! As always you share really cool info. God bless you.

[@craftystax]

Thank you so much! We appreciate your kind words - Stax

[@marcusmaier-thurn4379]

Zen - wow, recognized this voice immediately... Thanks for this, was just following watercooler before, now there's more 🔥🔥🔥

[@craftystax]

It's like 2 for 1 day at the KZbin store! Thanks for watching!! - Zen

[@vanbraekel]

Great video, I love the WPAP style! Do you recommend using a mouse for this, or would a stylus on a touch screen be better?

[@craftystax]

That's a great question. I personally struggle with a stylus but I think it is because I grew up with a mouse. So I would say if you are willing to put in the time and effort with a stylus, it would be amazing (I can't seem to muster the energy to master the stylus personally).

[@tanalee229]

For colors, you could also make a color map/palette of rectangles on the side, where you could just grab color with the eyedropper.

[@hka1625]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@simonvance8054]

Fantastic, thanks!...

[@bleachedout805]

This is also called polygonal art but the unique color pattern is WPAP. I don't actually like the colors myself but I do love polygonal art.

[@jenniferwaidner4293]

This sounds like a stupid question but how do you do page down or up to move objects behind? Thanks

[@craftystax]

There should be a "pg up" or a "pg down" button on your computer? Usually in the corner of the keyboard?

[@ranganavidyaratne9036]

Great

[@Banula]

Thank you 🔥

[@blackkitt98]

Thanks for the tutorial! I love this style and didn't know what it was called. I can see it's tricky to get right -- she looks like Bea Arthur, lol!

[@hairounagems]

Thank you! I have seen these but didn't know what the style was called. Quick question though, when you are finished do you click 'Group' or 'Union' to keep the pieces together before you export the image?

[@craftystax]

If you are exporting the image (to a PNG for example), you don't need to group the image together at all. Exporting to PNG is like taking a photograph of your art; it locks everything in as a static image.

[@hairounagems]

@@craftystax Thank you very much

[@gotchagr]

Thanks for the information. Very nice video! I knew about this technique but I never tried to make an image yet! A quick tip: Removing the strokes one by one is a huge waste of time, you can select all the shapes and then remove the stroke all together with one move :) Nope, I haven't used Inkscape again in my life but I'm an average user of Photoshop and I found it obvious! :) By the way, can you do this also in Photoshop? Can you make a video about it?

[@travelwithudeshi]

Congratulations for 1k subs...wish you all d best for 100k subs..your content is 👍 ..definitly you will received 100k soon...💖

[@craftystax]

Thank you so much for your kind words! - Stax

[@jimmatthews1930]

Thanks! You really could use Inkscape to do WPA style posters also...This video was very helpful..

[@sunlightsky26]

Thank you!

[@katemccarthy2463]

Love this thank you. However, how do stop the Bezier tool, from continuing. I find when I am working with it when I go to change, do something else, it continues wherever I move my mouse. Hope this makes sense.

[@craftystax]

Yes that is a great question. When you are making a shape, your last click is the same point as the first click. So if you are making a triangle, point #3 is the same as point #1. This closes the loop and makes a solid shape.

[@katemccarthy2463]

@@craftystax I would also like to say I am really enjoying your videos, tutorials. They are interesting, clear and precise instructions. Thank you for your time and effort.

[@marie-josee-bouliane]

As usual, super ! I am thinking about something : is it possible to select all shapes and select altogether no stroke ?

[@craftystax]

Yes good question - Ctrl-A will select all the shapes, and then you can select the stroke and remove it. You can also hold down the Shift key and select more than one shape (and then remove the stroke). Hope that helps!

[@marie-josee-bouliane]

@@craftystax Ouf ! That relieves me from the stress of watching you modifying the strokes for each shape... lol

[@jayclyde6045]

Now I am confused by this, would on still be best to use public domain photos for the subject or could this be introducing gray areas here since it more subjective representation???

[@craftystax]

Yes I personally steer clear from doing celebrity photos but I wanted to pick something that everyone could kind of recognize. If you are SELLING the designs, then one idea would be to do custom requests (like friends, family, birthday gifts, cats, dogs, etc). You are right - it's a grey area so it''s possible that someone could say "hey I own that image" but if you stick with public domain you can at least point to it and say "wrong"

[@scottdol2099]

great work on video content, but could you get something to highlight your cursor/mouse... trying to take it in, with 'here, here, here,and here'... but then have to rewind and search for the tiny mouse pointer moving doesn't project well for all viewers prob no criticism, again great work, just presentation refining maybe

[@craftystax]

I appreciate the feedback, thank you!

[@giraffe2973]

Where is page down and select on Inkscape?

[@craftystax]

Page down is a button on your keyboard, typically in the top right.

[@clarareger3955]

Not just copyright, but what about living celebrity's rights to their own image and how long does that survive for heirs? Wish I had a guide to that.

[@clarareger3955]

PS - I'd like to see her left eyebrow. I like her expression.

[@pythonjava6228]

I don't think it's a good idea to use images of a living celebrity. That would infringe on their personality rights. I don't know about the rights heirs have though

[@crrimz]

wishy washy

[@ironknobair]

I find when I re open the app and load an unfinished pre saved file I can no longer manipulate the existing coloured shapes.

[@craftystax]

Hmm what are you saving the original project as? An svg file?

[@TheLombardProject]

The problem is exporting PNG when you import the PNG it can't be manipulated. Name it and then save the whole window as an SVG when you open the SVG it will be ready to go.

[@Lima_Lima_Lima]

Artists?

[@bjornlinsin4570]

Final result is a bit off compared to the examples at the beginning of the video... good try regardless.

[@artkreatorwpap]

So sorry your tutorial still has a lot of errors. In WPAP, the shape of a plane that can give the impression of a curve is strictly prohibited, seen in the making of the eyes and eyebrows, the lines must be straight and firm....
