Power Strokes Are A Game Changer For Inkscape Users

- In this tutorial we'll be going over how to use the Power Stroke path effect in Inkscape version 1.2.1. This effect allows you to apply a variable width to any stroke. It makes for a great tool when designing abstract logos and tracing line drawings from images.

Thanks for the video. One more thing to call it Game changer is the possibility to add control points of the effect by pressing CTRL+click on a point and thus create complex shapes very fast. Credit for this information goes to a video by Sweater Cat Designs.
This is I call tutorial, every moment are clear and nice ❤❤❤
Thank you Mr. Nick. You have been my Go-To for most of my creative tools and software. Just wanted to say Thank you!
Same here 🎈
Neat. I haven't seen your tutorials in ages and recently stumbled onto your channel again.
Also nice to know that I don't have to shift+f6 anymore but can just use b for the bezier tool.
One thing tho: You don't have to press enter to end a bezier path - you can just right-click!
I was waiting and looking for a tool like this! I'm so happy Inkscape finally found a way to make it happen and added it!
After watching some tutorials for other programmes I had to get back here and give you a compliment. The way you exxplain things is exceptional, you never miss a step and even a person that has never done anything like this can easily follow the instruction. Thank you for that I've learned so many things from you and hopefully many to come as well. Keep up the good work man!
Nick you have been so consistent on all your tutorials over the years, amazing!
Thank you for this update on Inkscape's ... updates :D I really like how you're not just showing the tool and that's it, but instead you give a practical example. Very nice and illustrative!
Hello Nick, I am basically a newbie to this Graphics world - coming from digitizing machine embroidery - with no graphics experience as mentioned. I followied other tutorials which were very helpful, but I just stumbled across your Tutorial. Wow, you are brilliant. This is what I was wanting to learn how to achieve this effect. Thank you. You have me hooked and I will be following you from now on. Many many thanks.
As always, very informative and a well put together tutorial. I definitely need to check out that masterclass.
Thank you! I've been looking for an effect that can mimic hand drawn layout lines in pencil for years! And this does it perfectly.
I love how easy you make it look. Great tutorial.
to be so honest, you r the best one that teaches design in youtube, thank you so much ! ...
This is great. I am new to Inkscape- and I'm loving it.
I’ve been learning from Nick since years ago, there is one tutorial I’m still remember, the one that teach you to clip the scenery with a hot balloon, he did a really great job at teaching, the smooth tone explain every bit of function is what you need on your learning path.
If you’re new to flat design, give his master class a go, you’ll have more insight about how and what happen in every corners, which most designers will not have such patient to explain 😂
Excellent addition of tool,
It really going to help a lot.
Thanks for update & sharing.
Exactly what I was looking for yesterday.. thank you!
This is pretty much the one thing ive been trying get inkscape to do!
Gracias por los tips y los subtitulos. Sin dudas usaré power strokes mas adelante.
you have the best tutorials, thank you for the content you make
A big time saver, I love it! Thank you for sharing
I always learn something awesome from your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 👏👍
Noice! Best Ink Scape how to creater I found on CZcams thus far.
And it's an EXCELLENT class! I highly recommend.
Finally. I'm so grateful they added this option. This was the only reason why I preferred illustrator over Inkscape. Now I'm ready to go back to inkscape ❤❤❤
Thank you sir, i'm a beginner and this is my first time using Inkscape. I'm an aspiring artist and I'm eager to learn
Excellent video as always, thank U !!
Another great video tutorial. Thanks!
BROTHER, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! You oooh really helped me!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
My favorite CZcams channel!
Warm greetings from Germany. 🤩🙏
Thank you so much, I always learn so much from you! ❤
I've wanted this since forever!
Awesome, thanks a lot Nick!
i love inkscape too. thanks for your ideas
basics it's encouraging to learn a little bit more! Well done!
Wow thank you so much very amazing tutorial
Thank you from Brazil Nick! 🥰
Crazy, love this tool!
I just wanna learn even more now- it looks so cool o.O
The comnt section is very positive and downright encouraging! Love it!
Just love inkscape! I'm using to to save wmf files that I can import into preset shapes in corel paintshop pro. Works wonders.
good work king, love you
Wow! it's Amazing I did it well ! Perfect work !
Great as always :)
thanks for the help it help my every thing i need to install
Thank you for the helpful tutorial. Yours are some of the best I have seen . I am using Inkscape 1.3 now and wondering what key combination to use to add additional points to the power stroke, so I can widen it some more at other points?
Really amazing. Thanks
Great! I was using "Pattern Along Path" which didn't allow to change the width in separate locations of path, so I had some hard time showing perspective/rotation of objects in 3D space. I've already tried, this is the cure.
thank you man,you are a legend
Wonderful!!!
really love and laugh how you gradually slipped into Bob Ross mode on purpose, highly appreciated!
now im excited..!!!
You make the best videos.
Worked, thx
Thank you for your reply!
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!! That's great, thanks Nick
Best instructor
You are/were not alone! I pray you found what has worked for you!
Thank you so much ❤
Thanks a lot 🙏
Thanks for the tutorial!
Is there a way to have the thickness of the stroke vary according to an underlying picture? Somehow a mix with what you did with the vector halftone pattern.
That would look very cool!
U still save my life
thank you
Nice work
Haven't this this before but looks very useful :)
Nick, I'm a paid student of your academy and am very happy with the content. I'm primarily an Inkscape user but purchased the whole package. My question is, is Inkscape 1.2.1 worth switching to? I'm already familiar with 1.1.2 and not sure if it's worth moving over to 1.2.1. I don't need multiple page documents and I don't prefer the way the layers menu is in 1.2.1. However, no one has addressed this question anywhere and I trust your opinion. I would be delighted if you'd provide even a short answer. Thanks so much.
Please do a tutorial on how to expand the toolbox, tool controls, palette and scrollbars on screen. 🙏🙏🙏
de momento no soy estudiante, pero lo hice todo porque necesito usar este programa. Me siento un poco sucio pero es por necesidad ya que ando desarrollando un videojuego con unos amigos, gracias por el video.
i'm not doing any projects about design but this will be handy.
informative video good sir, Gracias
thx and subscribed
Wow... thanks. 💜❤🧡💛💚💙
Each time I'm watching your tutorials I'm positively amazed by what you can actually do in Inkscape. And each time I feel more disappointed (or even infuriated) about Inkscape’s notoriously bad performance on Mac. If this powerful app would only run as smoothly as its rival vector editors on my Mac (or as itself on PC...) I might possibly use it for most of my vector work. Up to now, however, it just keeps me getting unnerved after a while because of its sluggishness... Too bad, really!
thanks
Great video! Is there a way to save powerstroke settings and apply them to another path? I didn't catch if the values reset with each application.
You can set default Power Stroke settings in the Live Path effects dialog. Also, it's useful to set stroke width in the Fill Stroke dialog.
That's just scratching the surface. That thing is so handy with digital inking where you want to control line weight with precision, and also great for creating glyphs in a custom font for the same reason.
wait to learn more!
I'm so confident, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Hi Nick your tutorials are great, i have a question, how to make the handles appear after clicking the nodes? In mine when i click the nodes nothing happens 😢
I thought we were going to draw a Diesel Ford Pickup. In any case, I love this tutorial.
very usefull
Where did you get the intro music? It's awesome
Thanks for explaining this.
At 2:10 when you zoom in it actually makes it harder to see the pink point because the apparent thickness of the curve increases but not the thickness of the pink point. Also you keep saying path at times when I think you might have meant point. Unless I misunderstood due to the difficulty in seeing whatever you're saying is pink. I couldn't actually see anything pink but my screen is pretty small.
Nick, I tried upgrading to 1.2.1, but since the newly-conceived Layers/Objects combo menu no longer lets me adjust opacity and blur on the screen, I ditched it for 1.1.2 (or whatever the latest). I use it all the time in my workflow! Do you have a tutorial that can help me adjust? I don't want to fall behind! Thank you. :)
Could you please advice how to get the full version and the evms!
Top!
Awesome! Question. Is there a way to easily make a perfectly symmetrical swoosh? so you don't have to eyeball it?
Do a horizontal line by clicking the start & end points. Define stroke paint & width, say a few points. Go into point edit mode, select both end points, then click on add point, which will appear at exact mid point. Select mid point, make sure it is a curve point w/ symmetrical handles. Grab a handle, move it away from the horizontal adjusting to taste. Then add the power stroke. Edit mid pink control point & mid path point to taste. Endpoints are eye balled but if you zoom in & place pink stroke control points on top of the original path end points that should be arbitrarily precise.
Using pink nodes, is it possible to adjust the width so that the the beginning, middle and the end of the stroke will all have the same width?
nice
YT recommended me this vid!
Can you make asymmetrical profiles?
cool
Toimii ! :) Kiitoksia, Tarvittin tätä
I'm always about to upgrade to Inkscape 1.2 but I'm so used to the previous version I'm afraid it changes a lot and I chicken out.
