Inkscape Tutorial: Line Portrait

If you want to learn more about how Inkscape works, I have a 50+ part video series where I explain all of the tools and features in Inkscape and demonstrate how they work. Here's the link if interested: logosbynick.com/inkscape/

This guy is a legend or what? He makes long and detailed tutorials for free. Seriously he deserves a lot lot lot of respect +++++

Thanks a lot Nick! I really appreciate you doing these tutorials with open source software. Very useful for Linux users like me.

I've been dabbling in inkscape for over a decade (mostly just using trace bmp) and now that I'm retired it's time to master the bezier pen! thank you for your tutorials which I stumbled upon when looking for options for creating my own SVG for my newly acquired Cricut. These are phenomenal. I'm having to pause repeatedly since you are so efficent at what you're doing but I'd rather have to do that than wait while someone slows down their teaching as if we had to grab it in real time. Thank you again and I'll be binge watching until my brain explodes.

Honestly, one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. P E R F E C T (and yes I subscribed and clicked bell) Keep up good work pal

Thank you SO Much for Making these Tutorials .. as a crafter who uses svg's having the ability to be able to create my own is important to be different than others.. Thank you so much again for these

Brand new to Inkscape, logos, drawing digitally and drawing in general really. Finding your videos quite inspiring. Ended up buying your Gimp and Inkscape tutorial package and learning a lot so keep up the good work Nick

Hands down one of the best inkscape tutorials I've seen online yet!!! Subbed and hit the bell on this one... Thanks

Useful - clear speaking - the right speed - good explanation. Thanks!!!

Omg where has this been all my life!

Nick, thanks for the very useful guide on using the bezier pen handles, that often has me mumbling under my breath. I will do my portrait, should be easy as my hair disappeared years ago :-) West

inkscape is amazing, and your tutorials are great. thank you.

What a FANTASTIC tutorial. You have covered exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you so much.

I am a very new user to inkscape, and this tutorial really helped some concepts "click" for me. Thank you for providing it.

Regarding the tricky thing to get a handle of the node (7:10): while holding shift you can drag the handle right out of a node. No need to push things around. Btw your content is great and right on the point. I learned a lot from you, thank you.

THIS is what I have been looking for for days now! I am gonna have to watch that again...

Clever technique, using the Intersect shape and creating a stroke from it.

really useful video, thanks! i'm a portrait artist getting into learning vector tools, and this is a handy starting point for inkscape. i do have a suggestion, though: you might try altering the width of your lines depending on where the light is in the picture. this will establish an illusion of depth. so, thicker lines in the shadow areas, and thin lines in the light

Wow, that method is even better than the one you showed with the ship! PRICELESS CONTENT FOR FREE GUYS! Nick is the best!!

I'm so excited to try this!
