    Nick, you have played such a huge part of my development as a designer and TH-camr. I have to thank you so much. You have no idea how much of an impact you made on me. You're the reason I decided to take TH-cam seriously and also why I have been able to adapt to Inkscape after several failed attempts in the past. I'm beyond grateful for you.

    After watching dozens of inkscape tutorials this is by far the clearest, easiest to follow!

    You know what they say. A software is only as powerful as its users!
    And thus, your contributions of content to the Inkscape community are invaluable!
    Thanks for all the time and effort you've put into these videos and keep up the great work!

    Ever since I moved to Linux, my love for Inkscape becomes stronger every day. Even though I mostly work with raster graphics for album covers, poster design etc., I have managed to integrate it to my workflow, it's really capable and intuitive. Obviously not as intuitive as Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Designer, but I genuinely appreciate all the hard work the Inkscape team has put in.

    Thank you so much! I am just getting into Inkscape, and your tutorials (this one especially) have been so incredibly helpful! I came in knowing nothing, but I feel ready to experiment on my own more now. Thanks again, and I'm sure I'll be watching a lot more of your videos in the weeks to come!

    This video is terribly useful! I’ve watched a lot of videos that go so fast that you can’t see what they’re doing. Yours is very clear and detailed. I bought an embroidery machine and need a way to make text and other designs to transfer to vp3 format. I stumbled onto inksense and inkstitch but couldn’t figure out how to use them. This video of yours is a great start. Thank you.

    Love this video - I am completely new to Inkscape and vector graphics creation/editing and this is very helpful! One question - Shape Builder Tool did not work in creating the yinyang symbol (I am using most recent version of software, 1.3.2) - did I miss a step? I went through it twice and got the same result, with maybe 1/3 of the lines that should have been there. Google is not, so far, helpful with any ideas for a fix. Thanks!
