There is no better teacher than this guy. Thank you Nick, only using yours tips and tricks on KZfaq I was able to improve my incomes, learn how to use Inkscape was a game changer in my life.

This is an insane functionality and timely tutorial! Before anyone gets feral with those in prototyping, note that mesh gradients are only getting traction and won't work in the tools like Penpot, for the time being. For the future reference, I'd suggest using guides to make a calculated work with those nodes - you CAN do a perfect gradient, it just takes a good minute to prepare.

The drop down menu on the sidebar where layers, align etc is also has all the panel options in it, you can get align & distribute and things like path effects there.

Thanks for this! Gradient meshes have so far for me not been very intuitive in Inkscape, and add to that in previous versions, I experienced some problems with the nodes not behaving as they should, after much work getting desired results (or at least close) finding a gradient being reset to a basic one with no way to reapply it, and things like that! I sure hope some of the bugs are also worked out too. I will find out one way or another, hopefully not the hard way! Happy editing!

You can change the icon size from preferences. Also, please check your screen resolution.

You're probably using a lower resolution screen. You can click and drag the tool bar to expand it. I have a video here demonstrating it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5-Yp7ed2sfbgJ8.html

What aro those 4 big color squares next to a palette in the lower left corner of your screen? Can this be used to hold custom colors next to a regular palette (or customized in any way)?
@LabGecko 4 ай бұрын
Those are (left to right) no fill, black, 50% gray, and white. Left-clicking them affects fill and right-clicking affects the stroke. I not sure if those specifically can be changed, but the palette to the right of them can be changed by making a row of colors and saving them in the palette folder as .palette file. Then it should show up as an option on the 3 bar menu button to the far right of that bar. Clicking the 3 bar menu button on the far right will also allow you to Configure it, if you're just wanting larger palette buttons or the something. I'm sure I missed a step, but there are tutorials on making your own palette.

when i select 30% grey it basically colors the sphere and gets rid of the mesh gradient. if i click again with the mesh gradient it goes back to how it looks when you first make the gradient and won't let me change the whole thing to grey

seems like when i select with the mesh gradient cursor, it isn't selecting any mesh nodes, what am i doing wrong?

Yes . We can make this thumbnail in inkscape as well as in gimp which is open source alternative of PS

I think Nick already has a video on it, I may be wrong though. And yes you can easily make this kind of thumbnail and even more complex ones with inkscape.
@LogosByNick 10 ай бұрын
I create the design in Inkscape then I bring it into Affinity Photo to enhance the colors and adjust the sharpness, brightness, contrast, etc. Inkscape alone can certainly create thumbnails like these though. It's mostly just screenshots of the app + text on top of rectangles.

Note to Nick: Don’t think Inkscape knows how to vector these meshes so if you want to save an svg you have to save png 1st then an svg of that. Try exporting as svg see if you have same issue where the mesh was not on output, not in preview box to right but where you save it too, open it with photos or another program not ink.

Anytime I make something with a gradient or pattern fill, if I move the obejct is changes/messes up the fill. Is that just an Inkscape thing or am I missing something?
@LogosByNick 10 ай бұрын
It’s a setting in the Select Tool that fixes gradients to the canvas. It can be changed in the toolbar.

Great tutorial like always. BTW if you are lacking inspiration for a tutorial, I would appreciate a tutorial on the best way to create a 1024x1024 pixel color palette with 4x4 pixel color squares, and how to automatically change the colors of multiple squares according to a certain rule (for example red from 0 to 255 in steps of 8). Have a wonderful day.

I've never seen a more capable application in this domain, but it is completely unusable for anyone who is familiar with Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Design due to InkScape's UI/UX.

Some constructive criticism. You repeat so many things like, click here, move over her etc. Like we see that you clicked there. Same with 5:45. You just said whats next, and a sec later, you repeat what you just announced. Its so annoying
