In this Inkscape tutorial I'll be demonstrating how you can add some character to your text by drawing swashes. To do this we will be using the Pencil Tool and the Power Stroke path effect.
The font used in this demonstration can be downloaded here: www.dafont.com/darty-zhedant....

There is one happy Inkscape user in EU/in Slovakia/ in small village Bratislava (ehm capital) watching your content & enjoying it VERY MUCH every time. Thank you! 😅👋👍

THANK YOU! I've seen so many designers doing tutorials on how to customize type with the pen tool in Illustrator but literally no one has done one for Inkscape. This is exactly what I was looking for. I'd love to see more videos like this. I was starting to think nobody who uses Inkscape ever makes alterations to type for logos, LOL.

Very interesting, thanks. Did you notice, in LPE's panel, that you can choose rounded start and/or end caps ? If not 100 % statisfied with it , you can also Ctrl (CMD) - click on one pink powerstroke handle to duplicate it and move it closer to the end and refine the shape there.

Nice approach, thanks for the video. Those final roundings you do with the eraser seem to me a good example to take advantage of the LPE corner shortcut in the tool control bar.

@LogosByNick 3 ай бұрын

I tried the LPE but didn't like the result. The angles are too sharp.

@CTRL_SMarcos 3 ай бұрын

@@LogosByNick You are right, I think it is because of the type of method it uses to calculate the fillet. By default it comes in auto, if you change it to force bezier it looks more natural and this parameter can be done by default. I have it like that and I didn't realize it 🙂

Hey Nick, always look fwd to your tutorials! Always a great & useful knowledge you share. Thank you. You once did a tutorial with that line effect like NB logo does for their brand. Can you direct me to that please?

@user-pc3iv5zg3h 3 ай бұрын

Very cool! Thank you! I had entirely forgotten about the power stroke path effect! Is there a reason to use the pencil tool instead of the pen tool? Is one better than the other in certain situations?

@benosborne413 3 ай бұрын
