That is the first time I've ever made a tree that looks good. Thank you! I even put a meadow of sorts in front with daffodils and snapdragons using just this technique. again thank you. I love trees!

This is excellent. Am I competent enough to follow this yet? Naw. Do I hope to be in the not too distant future ? Yes. I tried to trace bitmap of a tree drawing I made in FireAlpaca or Sketchbook, but this might just allow me to skip that and start from scratch here. I bumped up my notifications to ALL because I keep finding interesting stuff on your channel!

I recently found your channel and I must say that I find it really interesting, both for the topics covered and for the way you set up the lesson by showing the various "scrolling" phases. Great job! 👍 However, after seeing some of your videos (not all of them yet) I would like to suggest you disable the "Snap Tool" because in 90% of cases this is the cause of crashes in Inkscape. Obviously when you need it and if you use it just when you need it, it's not a problem and it's a very useful tool but, if the function is unnecessarily enabled, every time you move or shrink a simple shape or worse, a path with lots of "nodes" , will always try to connect to something, even if in the near environment, there is nothing to connect to ... ... in fact it can be seen that the movements, during the movement, are less fluid, almost jerky. We always have to imagine an "invisible magnetic grid" that the Snap tool is perpetually looking for. If you add that while you work, there is a screen recorder (example: OBS) in the background that already sucks a lot of the computing power of your CPU / GPU, the "crash problem" is always around the corner. Again, thanks for sharing and spreading the knowledge 🙏💙☮

Really neat. I suppose you can also make different trees by slightly changing the brushes between trees?

Exactly! Inkscape let's us experiment endlessly and find what works best. I've been following some of the oil painting channels to get ideas for brush formations.

Thank you for your videos. I can't figure out how to get that circular color palette on the side. All I have is the string of colors at the bottom.

Let's fix this! In the to menu, choose Object- Fill and Stroke. That will open up the Fill and Stroke menu. The menu will mostly empty until you select something, so make a rectangle for example. On the menu you can change the style of color selection to the first of the drop down choices called HSL. Then you'll see the color wheel option. Hope this helps!

Is there a method for spraying clones or copies in a perspective pattern? Or would you have to change perspective afterwards? Thanks for all of your tutorials, by the way. They take a ton of work and I respect your dedication.
@IronEchoDesign
@IronEchoDesign Жыл бұрын
Thanks so much! I've tried spraying clones in a perspective pattern, and the closest I got is by using the the open and closed eye icons up in the spray tool settings control bar. If you deselect the closed eye, and only choose the open eye, you can then spray over a perspective patterb and it will only hit on the visible stroke or fill. I'm actually uploading a video this week that highlights the feature. Let me know if it applies at all!

@IronEchoDesign
@IronEchoDesign 2 жыл бұрын
There's a couple things that may help. Make sure your export settings are at least 300dpi. And, if the PNG is still not the quality you want, scale your project larger on the Inkscape workspace before exporting to PNG. Let me know if either of these help, and good luck!

Nothing comes out of the spray. Stopped working suddenly while using it. Worked then didn't. Seems like the program can't stop doing crazy things. A restart doesn't solve the problem. I have played with endless settings and done searches. Just like always, this program proves to be flakey. Affinity Designer gets my vote again even if it doesn't have all the same options. At least it works all the time. Good videos but I'm left feeling like I am wasting valuable time trying to figure out all the bugs that aren't covered in tutorials.

I feel your pain. I felt the same way years back. One setting being off or a bug can derail creativity. If you give it some time, Inkscape will click.

Also, there's nothing wrong with preferring Affinity Designer or any other favorite. Inkscape is just the tool of choice for me, but of lot of the projects and techniques in my videos can be done in any vector program.

@@IronEchoDesign Thanks, I'm just frustrated, your videos are very creative, and I got past my issue by defaulting everything. Every program has challenges to get through. Your videos are very helpful, you can't possibly know every difficulty someone will encounter. I do appreciate the clarity in your videos, they are very straightforward.
