Inkscape for Beginners: Create a Line Art Logo Using Any Image

In this tutorial I'll be demonstrating how to create vector line art logos using Inkscape.

Alternatively the ellipse-shaped bezier curves can be scaled by going to Path>Path Effects... (Shift+Ctrl+7) and adjusting the width. By default a width of 1.000 equals 10 pixels.

Simple, easy to follow tutorial. Thank you very much. Gotta say, if someone ever wants a job designing logos for investment or real estate companies, this is probably the only Inkscape video they'll ever need. Seriously, it feels like 90% of those companies use line logos.

For anyone having trouble getting the stroke size to increase when downsizing, another way to get a similar effect is by selecting everything and clicking path union. Then click on the object and press control and 0 at the same time. This will create a offset from the shape each time you do this.
Hope this helps!

You're real treasure, dear Nick!
Thank you with the whole heart of mine!

Very nicely done. The confidence in your voice, and your verbal cadence, is perfect for a tutorial. Right to the point, results in under 10 minutes. Thank you for your time and effort.

Finally, someone who can explain Inkscape in a way I can understand. Thank you.

Great tutorial! Not only was it really helpful, but it was also well produced. Thank you!

I just wanted to say thank you for all your videos. I have been putting off learning inkscape for almost 2 hours. You are making this very effortless..

If you'd want to adjust the thickness of the lines you could go into the path effect editor and change the 'width' option there. This is basically just 'pattern along path' using an ellipse.

Very well done explanation, very CONCISE without wasting any time. Thanks for doing this.

So simple yet so powerful. Thanks Nick.

Your Inkscape tutorials are becoming addictive.

[ivyquinto]

Thank you very much for your tutorials! Everything I know about inkscape I practically learned from your tutorials. :)

Usefull as usual!
I Decide to stop learning inkscape throught boring step by step official guide: i can easily guess that your tutoriall will be one of my fav learning sources. Thanks!

If your line width does not change when scaling. On the "Select" bar check the button towards the end "When scaling objects, scale the stroke width by the same proportion".

Good tutorial, clear + concise explanation, good production, and good audio quality.

You are amazing! Ubuntu + GIMP + Inkscape = Design Wizard! You are my inspiration!

Had problems at first when my lines ending up being to thick but then I found out and messed with the size of pens strokes and managed to complete the video. I used .10\.09 for a similar size in the video. I'm excited to use this and more tools in the future. Thank you for the video.

Thanks for this great tutorial! :)
For everyone having problem with changing the thickness - I think that with newer versions of Inkscape the trick with scaling down to make lines thicker isn't needed anymore - when you go to edit path by nodes tool and click on your path, there is a small square next to the starting node and if you drag it away, line gets thicker, if closer, it gets thinner. Hope I explained that well - I am no master in Inkscape unlike Nick :D :)
