Been using Inkscape for 5 years now, and I STILL got to learn new stuff from this video. Amazing ❤️
I usually spend 2 or 3 classes, with 2 hours each one, to talk about all of these... Incredible, man! Many thanks!
Oh man! The effort you put in to these things! Thank you, it's absolute gold. Enrolled just to support, your free content alone is worth it.
awesome. short. straight to the point. no unnecessary frills. no endless droning.
I've seen many of your videos. They are all fantastic! I purchased the Master Class and it was so full of info, I was like a little school girl learning in class all over again. Except you can watch it over and over and still see something you might have missed. I'm glad I purchased it. It has shown me so much that this software can do. Great job Nick! Thank you so much!
Thank you for making these tutorials. They have really helped me
Hey Nick! I am a self-taught freelance graphic designer and your videos are very helpful in my work. You are an inspiration for many people out there wanting to start graphic designing, for free but don't know how to. Inkscape is free to use and your tutorials are the best and your thumbnails are attractive. I would love if you make a video on how to design epic thumbnails like yours that grab attention. Thank you.
I've already purchased your master class bundle a couple weeks ago, but tbh have been kinda overwhelmed at the thought of starting it. This video was a fantastic overview of what I'll be learning about, and has eased some of my fears in starting to learn Inkscape more in-depth. Couldn't have been better timing! Thank you for providing such fantastic resources to learn from ♥
Thank you Nick! These tutorials are awesome. I love your quick and concise style.
Used Inkscape for so long and doesn't know about a metric ton of stuff that you just told about. Your video and channel go straight to the bookmarks. Thanks a lot!
You are the reason i am using inkscape over illustrator... U r awesome man
I still always find something new from your videos. Every day is a school day. Thanks again, Nick!
WOW! What a great presentation: clear; succinct; covered every basic tool. Props, thumb up and subscribe... you aren't wasting anyone's time.
Thank you!!!
This was very worthwhile. I am mostly interested in generating vectors for CNC work but I am going to take this lesson for a walk. Definitely worth review in detail.
This is a shortest and coolest crash couse I have ever seen on youtube. Very informative.
Great efforts!!!
Wow!!! You did an amazing job explaining these tools! I think your style is one of the easiest to learn from in an efficient manner! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
This channel has given wonderful videos on both GIMP and Inkscape ...
Thanks for all these videos ✨🙌
Logos by Nick is the best inkscape channel of youtube.
As always, beautiful content, visual and voice. Thanks!
You should make a dedicated YT channel for Affinity software tutorials, I know that's a crazy wish but you are the best at explaining and a lot of people are interested, just saying.
Thanks so much! I am a teacher in Brazil and your videos have helped me a lot.
Thank you for making these tutorials, the quality and level of professionalism has me really invested in you as a content creator.
This is a great overview of Inkscape. The program is totally new to me so this overview was very helpful. Thank you!
Nick, you are a legend! Thank you for your amazing tutorials! 🙏
It's almost as if you created the program! Thank you for teaching us everything we need to know!
Thanks Nick. So many functions that I hadn’t even noticed!
Thank you so much for making these tutorials! If it weren't for you, I'd still be using GIMP for everything instead of taking the plunge and learning Inkscape. Now, I have an awesome band logo that is a vector image. :D
To the point and at perfect pace.
Thank you very much, I love your concise and amazing quality tutorial. I'm getting in love with Inkscape ♥
Brilliant tutorial and a MASSIVE SHOUTOUT to SQUARESPACE for sponsoring this video
Thank you for the great videos. I am learning so much about this tool!
Blown away. Subscribed. I'll be getting video burn, scratchy eyes from watching all your tutorials. I have to find out if Inkscape has a grid utility, how difficult it will be to warp a 2D construct onto a sphere and utilize/incorporate (with mathematical precision) golden-section principles and fractals for design. (Generally, it seems the best logos, sigils and geometric forms, the ones that really "pop," are those which are "in tune" with themselves using golden-section techniques and simple fractals). Glad I found your channel!
Thank you so much for making this video. It is so useful and for some reason so soothing to watch but I almost got hypnotized from the Freehand Lines tool part lol.
❣️Thanks for the tutorials.
I would love to see tutorials on adding shading texture in inkscape.
Thanks again.❣️
I literary want to learn this software and you just upload this video. Very amazing
Just what I was looking for thank you!!
Your channel is very good, Nick. Keep up the good work. Thank you
Thanks Nick!
Appreciate you helpful videos very much!
When a video named "in 10 minutes" is actually within 10 minutes!
Come on now 9:16 🤣😂🤣😂
It is within 10mins. :-)
It would've been more funny if it was 10:01seconds
I would've loved to have this video when I was begging to lear Inkscape. Great work!
Thank you so much! Super helpful and well made.
Very impressive 🤩 love from India. ❤️
Wow so much value in 10 minutes 👍
I love your tutorials ❤️👏
Absolutely excellent ......
Thank you so much. This video was very helpful.
Brilliant explanation. Tx
Exactly what I needed
Thank you so much! I just found your videos, I am so happy!!!
This is so good!
its really good, thanks!
So helpful man keep it up
Just the spiral alone makes it a pick! It's hard to find a proper one in most other software. Nice video
so helpful ty!
Superb!!!
man, you're the best
Learning so much from you! After literal decades I've left Illustrator (got sick of Adobe's BS) and trying to get Inkscape down. For me its mostly speed and interface issues (mostly mine) but your videos are massively helpful! Will be looking into your classes!
Picked it up off Teach:able! Thanks!
Is Inkscape missing any features that Illustrator has? Wondering if you want to go back to Illustrator or if Inkscape is just as capable.
Thank you again!
Thanks a Lot!
¡Muchas gracias!
Thanks again for good info that I will refer to
A very informative video, thank you for this.

Thank you so much !! 🙏🙏
hi Nick! this is a personal thank you for being everything a novice like myself could ask fo in the arena of instructional content! you and 1 other made the cut out of all other creators in graphic arts dree software that met the criteria to be best overall
Excellent!!!! :D Thanks.
I have learned so much from your videos! My only comment is that sometimes it's hard to see where your pointer is on the dark tool bars and by the time I find it, you've moved on.
Cant wait until the next tutorial
Thank you 🙏
Thank you a lot!
Thank you bro ❤
Thank you so MUCH
Thanks nick thats brilliant i'll check some other videos
Thanks a lot!
Thank You my guy, Thank You :D
Thank you man
Thanks
Great tutorial, Often wondered what couple of those icons did . Would it be possible to do a tutorial on some of many extensions added to inkscape?
That intro gets me every time
I have some kind personal aggression towards the people who dislike useful videos like this :(
thanks
Hey, so I just recently found your channel and recently I introduced to Inkscape. You do great tutorials, very helpful to me as a beginner. 😊 I just read an article about what drawing tablet you recommend to use with inkscape which was the Wacom Intuos, would you still recommend that drawing tablet to use with inkscape? Thank you!
Nice video
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
I hope you make similar tutorials for Gimp and Krita...
I'll probably do a tools overview for GIMP as well.

Excellent!
Thank you so much again!
💯💯💯💯💯
Hello! I find a lot of tutorials in your channel, I see several playlist, can you guide me in which order should I learn them? So far I watched inkscape in 5 mins and this one.
TY
Would be good to explain the new tool I see in version 1.1. Geometry constructions. Can't get what that does at all. But looks very interesting to me! Thank you for the tip about creating an object from measuring tool! That was very useful!
Great
wow.. some interesting tool features. Mpoving to inkscape from illustrator. Wish there was shape builder
thakyou
Well now I want to buy or download for free Inkspace because of you haha
@Logos By Nick Hi Nick, can you recommend a free program that has a vector freehand drawing tool that also has line stabilization so when I draw a curve it smooths out my shaky hand. I'm currently using Autodesk Sketchpad, but the drawing tools are all raster and ironically you can't zoom out because the viewport isn't filtered so drawing a higher resolution causing so much aliasing you can't judge your drawing. I'm currently inking my line drawing in there with because it has a nice stabilization setting for the pen tool and then converting that to vector in another program and losing quality on the way. Looking for something where I can draw at a higher resoulution while zoomed out and or draw directly to vector.
thx 👍🏾😎
Thank you much- I have purchased your course because you explain the functions in Inkscape so well, and I need to learn how to use this tool. One question- if I were to use my designs on Inkscape to sell commercially using their fonts, would that be an issue? Or no, since it is open source?
Hi Nick. Enjoy your videos. Quick question for those with failing eyes. Is there any way to increase the size of all the info around the screen, from the icons to the info up top? Thanks.
Great vid Nick. Do you happen to have a tutorial of your most used tool for a wacom tablet?
Thanks
What makes inkscape great is the fact that you dont need a tablet actually to draw and design, everything told can be done by a touchpad
