This is something that could always be done using a sequence of path operations, but this new feature streamlines it into a single execution. A good example of when ...

Thank you! 💛🖤
Thanks Nick! I'm still trying to grow the brain connections that tell you how to produce shapes like that book. Every one of your great tutorials helps.
Thank you ❤ I love this tutorail.
I don't know what i did but when i select a shape or add a shape a big circle show up and I can't work with any shape because of it 😭😭😭😭

Hey Nick. I have something a little trickier thats bugging me - how to extract text from an image uploaded to Inkscape. For example, an image of a Japanese drift car with Japanese writing. I clipped the writing first, added it to my own image, but I cannot create a transparent background behind the text. How do I do this? (The writing is mine generated by ChatGPT).
Thank you
Thanks for the video, I upgraded to the most recent version and the selector tool is missing from the toolbar. The first tool is the node tool? Any ides how to fix this?
the half circle is not possible it comes out as a D
Omg I've needed this so many times. Thank you Nick
Is the private community only for those who purchased your course? I've had your logo course for a while and I've recently purchased your other courses but I never seen a community to join. Is inkscape really free or is there a paid version? If so which one have more benefits free or paid?Where can I download inkscape and is there an app? I've looked it up and there's various sites so I can't tell which one is legit. 🤔
Inkscape.org is where you can download it, and yes it’s free. As for the courses, if you sign in there’s a community tab in the menu on the left
Oh goodness… you just saved me HOURS! Thank you!
Looks great. Thanks
2024 and still amazing and simple
just got here by chance while doing stuff for blender and trying to change png/jpgs to svg files what i really hate is that i always try to use blender short cuts :) thinking of getting the course seems like a good addition
Hi, I've been looking for a gimp tutorial to create a water slyle like the video in youtube called ''Watercolor Photoshop Action tutorial | Adobe Photoshop CC | Multi Tech'' could you do an video tutorial about it, Thank you.
The shift+click to outline doesn't work for me 🤔 doing it from the Stroke menu doesn't work either
how did you invert it @ 6:47. is it a button?
No need to count 15 steps. You need to select the nodes, press "Show Transformation Handles for Selected Nodes" and move them symmetrically while holding "Shift"...

Can you provide a slower step by step of how you did this?
Hi Nick, could you please make a video about creating Skyline shapes/how to trace bridges/POI`s to make a nice "logo" of a favorite city in inkscape?
This tutorial is awesome! Instead of traditional lesson you teach with pratical approach! So fantastic!
I learn a lot from your videos, so keep up the good work. But one problem, my Inkscape looks very different from yours (I've downloaded the latest version) yours is som much easier to navigate in
hello nick, can you make a tutorial about how to make a packaging design by inkscape?

You don't have to make the edges vertical or horizontal to extend the nodes, you can do it simply by holding down alt+ctrl while dragging the selected nodes.. great tutorial as usual :)
Im copying the characters from Illustrator but when I paste them in FontForge they don't appear. Any clue?
Amazing tutorial! I had a little problem with the base shape for the shopping cart. I clicked the X for the fill and it fixed the issue
