Krita tutorial videos please uploaded

Thanks!! Nick is amazing and I really owe a lot of my learning to him!

The Live Path Effects are really fun. Have a good time playing with them when you update!

Thanks!! 🙏

Thanks so much!! Had to revisit this one to show the 1.2 changes.

Thanks! I think you're right - 1.2 is a game changer.

Thanks so much!! Inkscape is pretty fun, and I wanted to show how 1.2 does the mandala technique even easier.

Thank you!! These are really fun to set up and let imagination steer.

Thanks!! I like this new method.

Thank you so much!

Thank you!!

Thank you! Have fun with it!

Cool! Thanks, and have fun with the laser cutting designs. Inkscape is a good tool for that.

Happy to make these and help anyone who wants to learn. Thanks!

Thank you!!

Thanks!! Have fun trying it out with Inkscape!

Thank you very much!! Just made an update to this in a new video actually.

Thank you! I'll keep making these!

Thank you! I learned from some good instructors.

Thanks so much!! I love the way Illustrator does it, and I was trying to do something like it in Inkscape.

Thank you so much!!

Thanks! These are so much fun to make!

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much!!

Thanks! Always leveling up!

Thanks!!

Thanks! I’ll make more!

Nice! Thanks, and snowflake design is a great idea. Mind if I use that suggestion for a video this winter?

@@IronEchoDesign Yes, please make a video on snowflake design. I'll watch it for sure. +1 subscribed. 😀

Thanks! That should be a fun one. I'll practice a bit before winter hits, so I can get the steps down.

Thanks!!

Thanks!! Hopefully it goes smoothly!

​@@IronEchoDesign , it came out great! I made a simple, pretty Border Design for a Quilt or Handbag. I actually just made a video for someone, and this Design just happened to be on my screen, so it is in the Video. Here is the KZfaq Video link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hcp8l8qL38-2gIk.html

That's so cool! Nice work!!

@@IronEchoDesign , thanks! :)

Thanks!!

Thank very much! Vielen Dank!

Thanks so much! He led the way and I'm trying to keep up!

@@IronEchoDesign you doing great!

Thank you so much!!

Thanks!! That makes 2 of us.

Please, teach decorative border with space &...

Thanks, and you're so right. The new Layers Tab is much more intuitive. I really like it.

Thank you!!

I'm not sure if you'll see this, but what are the "4 corners with arrows" called? I haven't figured out how to get all of the icons like you have on your menu so I'm searching through all the menus every time you say to click something 😅

They're called transformation handles. The menus can be confusing because they change with each Inkscape release- this video was made using version 1.2. Also the tools shown in the top bars change depending on what you have selected. To see the transformation handles, you could choose the Edit-Paths-by-Node tool or select the object itself. Hope this helps!!

@@IronEchoDesign thank you! I actually have no icons at the top and I can't figure out how to turn them on. So I just have to pause and search for names through the drop downs. Lots of hair pulling, but I'm getting there! Was so proud of my little watercolor egg 🥰

Thank you!! I'm liking version 1.2 and its capabilities.

@@IronEchoDesign 1.2 is good and all but it's laggy a little bit, I hope they release optimization updates.

Laggy- I see that. My computer renders even color changes to an object with tiling seen on the screen. That was a bit to get used to.

Thank you!!!

Thanks!!

Nice!! Coloring books are very popular- I'll see if I can get a coloring book video together. With the new multi-page feature, I wonder if I could make a whole themed book???

@@IronEchoDesign Thank you, that would be great. Looking forward to it.

Thanks! I thought about this a lot before switching over to 1.2 myself. I didn't want old version and new version to make videos confusing. A lot is the same, but you're right- some of the toolbar changes will make it harder to follow across versions. I'll try to make note when explaining.

Thank you!!

Thanks!! I like doing these.

Thank you very much!!

@@IronEchoDesign You're most welcome.

Thanks!!

Thank you!! I'm liking 1.2 and the new stuff.

@@IronEchoDesign I haven't got to play around with it much. But, I'm liking the updates I've seen so far.

Thank you so much!! I'm filming the next one tonight, and if I can edit it quickly enough I'll upload today.

Thank you!! You can save as an Inkscape svg with File- Save As. To export as a a PNG has a couple extra steps. Here's a detailed video on how to do it if it helps. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etRgeZiFssi3gZs.html

Thank you so much! Geometric patterns are my personal favorite, and I've been practicing variations of this. Works in progress.

@@IronEchoDesign Good to hear we share common interest. 🙂 I try to simplify designs from books written by Jay Bonner, Eric Brough. They have great books. Samira Mian ( KZfaq channel) is also good.

Looking up Eric Broug and Jay Bonner right now. Their work looks amazing. I'll pop over to Samira Mian's channel now. Thanks for the recommendations!

Thanks!! That's awesome!

Thanks!!

Thanks! They're fun to make.

@@IronEchoDesign and thanks for giving us these tutorials. As a person in laser business, buying each and every mandala file can be expensive. Time to learn and be a pro like you😊

That's awesome. One of my goals with the channel is to share techniques that people might want to use in their design projects. All without needing to buy assets or pay software subscriptions. Thanks!!

@@IronEchoDesign you are a good man.God bless

Thank you so much. I love this community.

Thanks! 1.2 made things a bit easier if you want to take it for a spin. Have fun!

Thanks! I had to redo the original mandala video to include the continuation feature since it really does change the game. Had to mention Logos by Nick because he's the best of the best and I owe my entry into Inkscape because of his videos. Affinity Designer is good! I'm hopefully going to branch into more cross-platform work soon. Trying to choose a path for the channel.

@@IronEchoDesign Nick is the best, but you are a close 2nd. It takes skill to explain/teach new tools and skills in an accessible way and make the viewers feel at ease and less overwhelmed. Yes, I wanted to get into digital drawing a bit more and purchased a Wacom Intuos. Besides open source app Krita, Affinity Designer was therefore a logical choice for me to bridge between vector and pixel work. I'm still giddy trying to work it all out. Whatever you decide re your channel's direction, I'm looking forward to how it develops. Have a great day/ evening(?) !

That means a lot to me- thank you!! It's nighttime here and I have 1 of 2 little ones still stirring, so I'm off to story time. G'night!

@@IronEchoDesign g’nite 😀

"Made it mobile" is also by Logos by Nick

Nice!

@@IronEchoDesign hi Rick, i like your tutorials! I have the same question 🙋‍♀️ like Barbara. All went well until I stared to use the pencil tool, the stroke result is very thin. So I had to adjust the stroke colour, style manually to match the rest of the design which doesn’t make sense. This issue didn’t happen with me when I used the bezier pen tool. In your tutorial it didn’t happen with you when you used bezier pen too or pencil tool, I mean when you drew using the pencil tool, automatically the line was blue with the same thickness like the rest of the design. Or did you change them manually during the time lapse time? I was drawing inside the group and all was getting copied and rotated correctly. It’s just the colour & stroke style when I use pencil tool is not matching the rest. Any trick? Or anything I need to change in the setting before I draw with pencil tool? I had my settings on the top menu for the pencil tool the same like yours. So not sure what’s causing the issue. Hope the question makes sense. Thanks

@@Mariam-Mina I had the same issue. I dont know if it is right solution, but you can double click Pen or Bezier icon, you will get settings for default line style. You can either set it to use last used setting, then pen /bezier you set only once and other lines will follow lastly used color and width, or you can set your default line styl based on selected sample. But I dont know if it is right way to do it, othewise it makes no sense, when I set line style and make a line using Bezier, it always reverts to 0,265 mm width instead of my 1 mm setting.

@@lakyljuk thanks for your reply!! yes I tried this last week and it was the only way I found it working too to keep the stroke with the same width. I couldn’t figure out another solution.

Thanks! That's a great idea. I'll start playing around with some color ideas and see if I can figure out a video for it. You mean filled in, right? Not just colored lines?

@@IronEchoDesign Yes filled in and or using gradient etc :)

​@@IronEchoDesign Loving your videos, Rick. Yes, I'd love to be able to colour in lines, too, as I'm making colouring pages and want to have the blank mandala plus examples of coloured-in ones. Also, I notice if you try and add a shape into the mandala - e.g. a circle - you can't 'grasp' it to move or change it. You can only use the nodes to tweak it. So I'm just working out where the bounds of it all are right now. Keep on truckin' with your videos. They're fantastic! Thank you!

i thought the same thing but forgot to group the lines together before choosing this option

Thanks!! I was worried about losing my projects when I switched, but they all stayed in the folders on my computer and are still there. I don't know for sure if it's the same for all systems. Backup to be safe first. Don't want to lose all that work.

Are the circles complete? Like a full, closed circle? Sometimes the arc function messes things up. Or, is transparency on? Check on the Fill and Stroke menu opacity slider towards the bottom. Sometimes the Fill is off, or fully transparent, or set to white. Let me know if any of these are on track.

I might have found a bug or limitation. Doing more testing

Thanks! For the line weight and color- I know what you mean. Inkscape sometimes gets stuck on a default seemingly at random. Normally the Bezier Pen is set to Last Style Used and it should stay on your last choice. Double click on the tool icon to pull up preferences- is it set to Last Style Used? If it is and its still flipping back to something else try changing to "This Tool's Own Style" on the Preference pop up. Hope this helps!

Found it! you need to : Double-left-click anywhere outside the group.

Just seeing this. Glad you found it!

Hi Adam- I made several tries at it. I think Photoshop or Affinity would be better tools for an image intensive poster. It can be done in Inkscape, but not as efficiently than with Photoshop. I've been looking into expanding this channel outside of Inkscape, and if I do, the fan made poster project will be perfect!

It's Camtasia. I'm still using Camtasia 9, and I think the quality would be better if I improve my camera.

Yes, good tip!

Interesting! I wonder why the star is doing that? Great idea on the color changing- that will add more to the designs.

Go to View in the top menu and make sure Widescreen is NOT selected. That should put the toolbar on top. Or, if Full Screen has been selected that will alter the toolbars. Click on Full Screen to toggle it off if it was on. Hope this helps!
