There's no dedicated feature for this in Inkscape so we will have to design it manually using tiled clones applied to a standard linear gradient.

Amazing, haven't seen any other tutorials explain it this well.
-
Without your tutorials, my YouTube thumbnails would still look like crap. You've been a direct influence on my channel getting more views 👍
-
Thank you ❤ I love this tutorail.
-
Been following your tutorials for years, and long may they continue. Thanks Nick for great tips.
-
Oh man. This makes me love Inkscape even more! Thank you for these tutorials.
-
Another great tutorial, forever grateful.
-
no matter what I do, when I click 'create' on the initial Tiled Clone, the circle is cloned all the way down the page but it is all the same exact size and color. In the tutorial, it appears as though the circle changes in size from small to large (which is what I want) I just cant seem to figure out what you did to make this happen. Spent hours trying to get this to work today, and made zero progress... :(

Thanks Nick! Can't wait to watch this.
-
So cool and simple. Didn't know this trick. Thank you.
-

Omg Thank you ...I been looking for an updated video on how to make halftones with inkscape... I do have a question though.. how would you bring in the halftones closer ? Say for screenprinting purposes..
-
Love your videos (and the courses). Is there a way to do this with the circle getting fainter rather than smaller?
-
can you make a halftone like this with a (small) path line (not an object). to use in laser cutting? love your content Nick
-
Hey Nick! How do you make halftone globes?
-
Great video, thanks. But how does Inkscape know to create reducing size circles?
