Make HIGH QUALITY T-Shirt Designs For FREE - Inkscape Tutorial For COMPLETE BEGINNERS

A common problem with using vintage PNG or JPG files is that the images will become pixelated if they are stretched too big. However, if you use vector files, you will never have scaling or pixelation problems.
Inkscape is a free vector software tool that is similar to Adobe Illustrator. Using Inkscape, you can create high-quality images that are infinitely scalable and will always be crystal clear. Here's a walkthrough on how to use text and borders to create high-quality designs that you can easily customize as needed.

OMG, Dude you're awesome! It feels like I just finished a class in graphic design. I've had a massive amount of inspiration for T-shirt designs over the last ten+ years, and needed a means to create files to get them printed. I just need the template for the T-shirts. Once I'm done I want to copyright them. I'm concentrating on Christian and patriotic themes for now.

Thank you very much for your great tutorials. Downloaded Inkscape... I am learning a lot but still a little bit confused what would be the best dimensions working on products like mug, t-shirt and shower curtain for example. Thanks again

That's a great question - it really depends on what platform you are uploading your designs to (like Redbubble is slightly different from Merch by Amazon, slightly different from Teepublic). I typically just make designs in Inkscape based on the A4 page (the standard page in Inkscape). Or, you can export the PNG in whatever size you like and then use Photoshop or another graphics program to finalize the image. For Redbubble, I typically aim for 5000 x 7000 pixels.

I have been learning inkscape with your videos, and I really appreciate the content you create. Then I hadn't try anything with fonts until now, but inkscape crashes. Every time I try to select a font from the drop-down menu, it freezes for a second and closes. I am able to convert images to svgs, so I have to create my designs that have fonts on Cricut design space, from there take a screenshot, and then convert the screenshot to SVG on Inkscape.

Thanks for the great video! I am newbie to Inkspace (just downloaded today). I was trying to follow what you are doing in the video. However, when I clicked the "A text" tool, the drop down font menu was only showing "sans serif". Could you help me with this please?

It should be showing all the fonts that you have installed on your computer - do you have a bunch of fonts installed?

very gooDid you use A3 OR A4 paper to print these T-shirts?

@craftystax 3 жыл бұрын

Generally I use A4 as a default for the page size, but if you are saving it as an svg, the size does not matter (because a vector is scalable).

@Gidget2324 3 жыл бұрын

Quick question, when I selected an image from one of the two sites you recommended and opened it in Inkscape and tried to do the path > Trace Bitmap and then click update, nothing happened. I tried to resize my image before doing this and still nothing is happening when I click on update after adjusting the brightness. By chance do you know what I am doing wrong?

@craftystax 3 жыл бұрын

Hmm that is a good question - by chance did you pick an svg file? (Inkscape won't trace an svg file, because it's already a vector). Which image did you pick?

@JustMedicareAnswers 2 жыл бұрын

My SVG file doesn't allow me to choose a small piece and move it. When I click it every item in the image (it's a group of arrows) highlights and I can not just highlight or choose one arrow to use. Any idea why?

@craftystax 2 жыл бұрын

Yes it depends on the SVG file - some are made up of individual pieces, and others are one object that is an SVG. (It depends on how it is created)

There are some great free fonts sites online - one of my favorite is called "1001 Fonts" - just check the licensing (the little price tag on the right). Some are for commercial use! www.1001fonts.com/
