ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this tutorial I'll be demonstrating how to use simple shapes to draw a leaf in Inkscape. We'll also be using some design magic to make the leaves have natural, whimsical edges.
Want to learn more about how Inkscape works? Check out the Inkscape Master Class - a comprehensive series of over 50 videos where I go over every tool, feature and function in Inkscape and explain what it is, how it works, and why it's useful: logosbynick.com/inkscape/

Man, I learned inkscape entirely from your free tutorials, thank you
True, me too
Bro
Same here!
I don’t know why this channel is so underrated
It may be some SEO problem.
I have learned a lot from the free stuff also, but I bought the Master Class also. Well worth the money. Awesome job Nick!
What impresses me so much is these workflows you come up with to make complicated shapes with simple processes. It's really just a different way of thinking.
I have been watching you for a while now. I have started my journey to my dream job - becoming a graphic designer. Your tutorials are so simple and clear that my skills have vastly improved from what they were. Thank you so much
You know I always complain to myself I never actually do your videos. They're the perfect blend of shortish length and technological level that they're exactly what I need to learn inkscape.
But today I took the time. followed along did the video and yeah it was beautiful and already I have a better understanding of some of the tools I've only watched you use. 10-15 more of these and I can start working on doing my own simple edits. If I ever get the money I'm definitely taking the master class.
Wow that example pattern looked beautiful! Could be on a shirt or summer dress. Your tutorials are truly valuable! Seriously, I think pretty much everyone could benefit from knowing how to use inkscape and gimp to some extend, not only designers. Being able to quickly put together a little icon or a nice infographic for a presentation or editing some photos etc. are skills that could be really useful for a lot of people both in their private lives and jobs.
Some features changed, but overall, excellent! Thank you for taking the time to publish these!!! A complete beginner like me didn't know where else to look.
Thank you Nick, for a great tutorial
You have been missed. Welcome back.
Thank you! I have learned a lot from your tutorials.
My boy Nick, back at it again💪💪💪
Love your tutorials Nick! Im learning so much!
Thanks for the simplicity of the process :) I always learn something new with your awesome tutorials!
Hi Nick,so glad you did this tutorial. I am interested in learning how to create leaves and flowers in Inkscape. This was amazing to watch, thank you
The master at work! This was impressive to watch, even though I don't use Inkscape regularly but this makes me want to get better at it. Inkscape is handy for outputting SVG files to use for 3-D printing!
My daughter is getting very interested in drawing and painting and now I'm thinking of showing her your videos to inspire her too
Always enjoy your tutorials, Thanks Nick !
Good presentation. I like that you detail over & over what it takes to create certain things. That way when I'm doing my own design work, I will hear your commands to do a certain action.
dear nick, what a treat again! You are the bob ross of inkscape. thank you so much!
Happy little leafs
His master class is awesome. I highly recommend it!
Thankyou for sharing your knowledge, I’ve learned so much.
I love Inkscape, and I love your videos.
The course was worth ever penny i totally recommended to all newbies💖your tips are the best cheers from nz
That is a powerful way of doing this. Awesome, thanks!
i love your inkscape Tutorials.
Thank you so much nick!. These videos truly helps!
Thank you. I have learned a lot from your tutorials.

Hope you are well I thoroughly love the masterclass ...
Great Tutorials ! Thanks for Sharing your knowledge for Free!!

Gorgeous
Cool. Thanks 😊.
Thank you!
Hi Nick. thanks for another great video, --- Every days a school day 👍
dude this is good stuff, thank you
you're really help me😊😊😊 ... I put task to see video everyday from your tutorial
Thank you
Nice one Nick. We're still using v0.94 as they removed the snaps from the top bar and we use them in different variations a lot for our work but these tricks will work on even older versions.
He's back!👍 Nice one👏 You changed the intro tune. Nice melody
Really you are great artist
huh that was nice trick! thank you for sharing! complicated to do, would not come up with this just by myself .. may be later .. when/if I will get more skilled in it.
Awesome!!
Hey Nick, Outstanding! Thank You. I've gone back and started doing your Inscape series which is also outstanding but personally I find your tutorials are easy to understand and I very useful, considering my first POD designs were created in Powerpoint, who needs expensive name brand software?
Awesomeness
We miss U buddy! We know you have a lot of proyect, but we still miss your content. Hi, from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
New music ^_^
It's been a while since I've actually followed along your tutorial but feels just as good :)
Esperamos mas tutoriales más seguidos
tnx
@Nick, in the first leaf you make from the pencil tool. You delete a bunch of nodes from the top edge and make a curve (spline?). If you wanted to use that exact curve as the top edge of the stem is there a way to "copy+paste" or "duplicate" the curve settings from the source nodes onto the target nodes? Thank you.
Hi. Nick. Do you have the scribus course? Thank very mach.
Hey, Nick! I've learned most of what i do from your tutorials! Thanks!
By the way, what is the version that you're currently using?
I was also wondering that
I think it may be an updated version
It is version 1.2.1
Excellent, as always. Thanks so much for the video. Although the music is really distracting.
Hahahaha
Same bruh
His natural voice is very nice though!
Old intro was better. Thanks fot the tutorial anyway :)
Hi Nick, Pls tell me how to export file from inkscape with CMYK color mode and print ready file
thanks for the tutorial but what I want to know is can I use Inkscape professionally for my clients project since i've just started out and Illustrator is expensive
i find that using the bezier pen instead of pencil creates a nicer effect with smooth curves.
Might be easier to just use Bezier and apply pattern along path (single, stretched) with basic leaf than freehand it with mouse and then repair all of that sloppiness :P Great tutorial as always!
I dont know why but i don't have those little nodes you had when you were refining the contours of your leaf .. If anyone could answer thank you so much
Hey Nick , how can I get layout like this 9:52 ?.
Thanks in advance
How do you get the tools to be located on the top? Mine are on the right side.
Go to the View menu and disable Wide View
@@LogosByNick Thanks Nick!
Sir, please make a vector design with texture on inkscape
Your tutorials are wonderful.
I do have one complaint, though. The dark mode does not work well all of the time, especially when watched on a small screen. On my large computer monitor darl mode works well. On smaller screens, not so much.
Please do a tutorial on how to expand the toolbox, tool controls, palette and scrollbars on screen. 🙏🙏🙏
Bro I think it may be display size problem
Bcz I normally use inkscape on pc which have a larger screen, everything was fine, but when I used it on Laptop, tabs were not showing, I think this might be due to smaller size of laptop screen
im struggling to find the *make corners sharp* button. im using inkscape 1.2.1
As much as I love adobe illustrator, inkscape is catching up.
Hello, I don't have this Shape option in Draw freehand lines (Pen tool). There is one like this in Draw Bezier curves tool but it works a bit differently. I'm using Inkscape 1.2.1. Any idea?
same x) idk what to do xD
🍃
When I want to size any object, while the aspect lock is on (this is how I generally use it), when I enter the measurement value for width and length, another one changes automatically as the dimension. Why am I having this problem even though the aspect is not locked? Can you help me.
nike I have a little problem, when scaling shapes or object it becomes very very very slow what should I do to resolve that issue bro.
I beLEAF that this tutorial is very good (im so sorry for this "joke")
😍😍😍👍👍👍
I have bought your course but had some PC issues. Long story short I am battling to log in again to the courses. I bought the full packages. Please advise how I can sort out my logins. You can
DM me. Kate McCarthy, not sure if you still have a record of my details.
Why my inscape's bar look not like yours?
is it possible to open a document without borders as the default, every time l open document properties it uses too much real estate
When you open Inkscape, configure it to your liking. Then go to File/save template and check save as default template.
@@CTRL_SMarcos thanks
Is this inkscape 1.2?
Comment is completely unrelated... been following Nick for a while. I am always working on my own logo trying to get something exciting and... I created something pretty cool but... it bothered me that it wasn't original enough. Looking at Nick's I see basically I'd copied his logo and didn't even know it. LOL. Worked on a iff one.
First like, damn
I have a question to all of You: are You experiencing a frequent Inkscape crashes? I have this problem for some time now and it occurs mostly when I'm working with text.
Hi bro,
As a beginner TH-camr, I’d say that you must also learn SEO To rank your Nice Channel and Videos on TH-cam
Make new videos for Gimp!!
00:31 Xbox series S inspiration.
That's it. I'm going for your masterclass... it's like magic but instead of spells you use math and logic.
Christian Bale, thanks for your tutorial.
how did you come to Inkscape?
I prefer your video without music.
What am I doing in this world if I can't even draw a leaf 😭😭
Sir, do not use background music. Your voice is nicer than music.
you could have made it faster!!
please next time don't use this music effect in the background
Avoid the background music
It's annoying and useless
Thank you very much, you taught me everything about vector design and Inkscape since 2020. You’re a really good tutorial maker, you never fail and you rarely hesitate ; it’s good to follow a tutorial made by a professional. It can feel extreme but you really changed my life. Thanks again, Azertyuiop927
