    I have shared this with the rest of the inkscape community, it's really good!
  • @martinbraun599
    Sometimes you want to like multiple times. What a wonderful tutorial! I consider myself a very experienced, practiced Inkscaper. Nevertheless, I was still able to learn a lot. Thanks so much!!! 🤩
  • @CTRL_SMarcos
    Thanks for the video. Years using Inkscape and still learning new things with this complete guide 💯
  • @geoffphil
    A very comprehensive video - thankyou. One aspect I struggle to remember is how to use the measure tool as a protractor to measure the angle between two sloping lines.
  • @almazybeats
    Thank you very much for this video. I watched it for a week after work and repeated all the actions after you. Now I know how these tools work!
  • Great work you've done here. It may seem simple, but as a person who also creates YT videos I'm aware of how much work you had to do to make a video like this.
  • @rjjeffreys
    An excellent tutorial. I learn how to best use Inkscape from every video you post. Thank you!
  • Just want to let you know that you are awesome! You will get large number of subscribers very soon. Can you also do a video of tiled clone in detail with all options . Thanks
  • @suezakar
    Thanks for the excellent overview.
  • This is so good thank you! When you discuss shapes having issues with fill and stroke options, for example when I try to remove fill it doesn't seem to work sometimes, I'm sure it's something stupid I'm doing, are you able to make a quick video on that? (You may have already forgive me)
  • @BryanAMcGown
    I really enjoyed this tutorial. I came here hoping to learn how to shape text. I have NOT been able to figure it out despite all my efforts to search for other videos. Is this something you could focus on, in an upcoming video?
  • @atikakim2379
    Thank you for this amazing video. I wonder if you can make a video like this one explaining the live path effect tools. I would be very thankful :))
