I don't even use Inkscape, but oh boy, this man is whipping so much info in such a very easy way to understand that it makes me wanna use it. I am a former Adobe user who is currently using Affinity, and it seems like I will start making peace with Inkscape. I will definitely be unifying both programs and call it Affinkcape. Thank you teacher.

It's crazy how much better the finished design looks just by changing the background.

Took me two days of trial and error until I've picked up importance of evenodd & nonzero fill-rules @ 2:05, evenodd creates holes in green rectangle instead of splitting it with difference @ 2:45 ... not just beginner - a total noob here! :)
Thanks Nick for all the time and effort you've invested in making great tutorials, useful even years after .

Nick, your videos are FANTASTIC. Thanks for the wide variety of tutorials and the extremely clear instructions. A truly unique channel. Keep it up!

Hi Nick, I'd like to point out that in the beginning where you split the square in two, rather than Stroke to Path, Difference, Break Apart you can use Division (Ctrl+/) and do that in one step. I think that's easier to remember, as well. If you repeat this with a duplicate of the line, making the cut right after is also more straight-forward in my opinion. As always, thanks for a nice tutorial!

The Text to Path in Inkscape is, by far, their worst tool. The way you did on this video requires a LOT of work, but works better in the end. I didn't know you could do it that way. Thanks.

Fantastic visual effect on the ribbon itself! I wish I could visualize the negative space like you do when I draw.

Thank you so much for this video! I'm ecstatic that I'm able to learn how to do these things with Inkscape. You are a great teacher. Only problem, I got to where I just got done with my text and the program crashed and closed out! :'( I lost my progress and now will have to do it again. Oh well, no problem. I'll follow along with your tutorial again after I take a short break lol

Hello Nick! Can you do a episode with an explanation of Illustrator and photoshop advantages over inkscape and gimp?

Thank you for the instructions! Wondering if there is a faster way to fit the letters into the perspective of the curved banner? I bet when you have a lot of letters the clicking can get tiresome.
