Inkscape Lesson 3 - Fill and Stroke Settings
585,247
Published 2018-08-24
Notes from this tutorial:
To change the thickness of a stroke, click on Object in the menu bar and select fill a stroke to bring the fill and stroke options. You can also right-click the object and select the option there.
The Fill and Stroke Options have three tabs:
The Fill Tab allows us to change the color of the object body using the RGB, HSL, CMYK, Wheel, or CMS options.
In the Fill tab, next to the X there are also available options to apply linear, radial, and mesh gradient, as well as pattern and swatch.
When the Pattern option is selected you can choose from many Pattern fills, or apply Blur, and Opacity effects
The Stroke Paint Tab allows us to change the color of the Stroke with the same Flat color options (RGB, Wheel..).
Use the Stroke Style to change the Width and other characteristics of the stroke.

I just finished the third lesson in this video series and it has helped me to go from totally clueless to feeling like I can actually figure this software out. Thanks a million!
-
What is really neat about your tutorials, is that you include the problems to avoid and how to overcome them. Thanks.

Cool, Calm and Collected, good talking speed - not too slow, not too fast. And maybe the most important - you say what you do while you are doing it - great for learning, understanding and remembering. I will be watching all and I will most certainly be coming back for refreshers. Well done !

Man I have no idea how my journey of Inkscape would be without your tutorials! Thanks a Ton! Subscribed!

At last someone who actually makes sense when explaining things and even when thing don't go right thank you for your great tutorials : ) 👍

You are a natural instructor - great job!

Thank you so much for the videos. I'm a retired engineer who built a laser engraver. I have been struggling to learn Inkscape and Photoshop to create images for my laser. They seemed so counter-intuitive to me after many years of using CAD softwares. The only thing more frustrating than trying to use the software was trying to follow YouTube videos with someone talking 300 mph and making no sense. You are extremely clear, concise, and logical. Perfect videos. Again, THANK YOU!

In terms of the white background thing i think it's much easier to head to page/document propeties> background colour>turn on checkerboard background

These videos are great and the first two videos have shown me things I never knew before. The basics I knew but I wanted to start from lesson 1, glad I did. Thank you.

Thanks for this. Most people just talk and talk bragging about how much they know. Nothing fancy, you keep that to a minimum and really tell us what we need to know to get started. Well done.

This series of tutorials is one of the best I have ever watched. That's saying a lot because I'm 51 years old and I have watched a lot of them! You have a talent for teaching. Thank you!

Born to be a teacher. Congrats!
