Great idea for an Inkscape video. Well done, thanks. One area I could use some tips in is brochure/flyer design. Specifically, some tips for jazzing up headings (e.g. "Sale", "Special", 50% off!" etc.). Your handwritng video shows one way I guess. Maybe also your 3D text video.

Thanks!! I could do a video that includes something like that. We’re thinking about having a yard sale and was going to make something eye-popping for signage pointing the way.

Great Great Great!All your videos are amazing and very helpful! It'll be great to know your opinion.I am new to digital art...I wanna create wall art paintings and be able to offer them in different sizes.I am between Krita and Inkscape ...My pantings has many brushes which krita offers me but they aren't vectors...in other hand you can add brushes in inkscape but it's more difficult .Thank you in advance! PS.It'll be great if you can reccomend any site with plenty of brushes for inkscape! :) Thank you again for your wonderful videos!

Hey Rick, as a new subscriber to your channel you are truly an inspiration. I mean that...and as a request can you do a video in the style of artist Roy Liechtenstein? I think his art is perfect for inkscape. I've tried the use of 'benday dots'(half tones in the digital world) with some degree of success in gimp but really struggling using inkscape.

@IronEchoDesign Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much!! Roy Lichtenstein is iconic. I’ll see if I can get a good tutorial together on Pop Art style with half tone patterns.

I was wondering if you have done any videos on how you can create halftone with inkscape?

@IronEchoDesign Жыл бұрын

I did one a year or so ago, but the method has been made obsolete with the new Tiling feature in Path Effects. I’ll try to make an update. Here is the original video. Inkscape Vector Halftones: How to Make Halftone Patterns with Create Tiled Clones Tool kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mpuhnL1e0L6XlIE.html

instead of the paint/fill bucket was there a reason you did not just break apart then union to fill in the holes?

Love that method. I was getting "not responding" crashes. Probably too many nodes for my work computer. Should be much more efficient than Paint Bucket when it works.
