I'm only on #2 and this is the best series on Inkscape on the web! Thank you.

Your teaching style is relaxed and free of filler, well made sir ...

[thinkhealthy]

You're a great teacher. After watching a few others this video is the clearest.
Thanks.

These videos are so helpful! I really appreciate that when the author mis-clicks rather than doing what he intended (as I do!), he explains what happens and why. Thank you!

I am totally new to Inkscape and any program like this. I have listened to several Youtube videos and YOURS are the BEST and so easy to understand. PLEASE make lots more.

I literally went through 5 other tutorials and learned absolutely NOTHING!!
You my dear are a God sent! I’m not an easy learner but the way you explain each and every step in such great detail, I am FINALLY getting it. 🙏🏼🥰 I’m feeling much more confident and I am no longer contemplating on throwing my Cricut out the window.
Thank you

This tutorial is so awesome! Being dyslexic, I have a hard time learning certain computer programs, especially ones that have to do with drawing/illustrating because the people making the vids assume you already know how to do certain things, so they barley touch on the very basics. This series for Inscape is invaluable! I appreciate the time you took to get it broken down into bite-sized pieces, in simple language, and also explain HOW and WHY things work, or don't work. By showing what each feature does, this helps people think things through and allows them to figure out how to accomplish so many smaller components for a project instead of a select few larger pieces and then be left trying to figure out how to do something original for themselves. This should be the go-to tutorial for anyone learning Inkscape, especially if they have never worked with this type of program before. Thank you for taking the time to make Inkscape nonintimidating, in such an easy-to-understand tutorial! Absolutely top-notch.

I stayed away from Inkscape for so long because it just didn't make sense to me. Towards the end of the video when you said to think of Inkscape as more like shapes and paths, something clicked in my brain. I'm used to drawing freehand, but this finally made sense to me. It's kind of like using geometry to create art. Thank you for such clear instruction.

Inkscape tutorials are so wonderful for a beginner. I have learned more than with any other tutorials I have watched. Others are so fast I can't even keep up.

TJ, thank you for your videos. They are clear and easy to understand. I really appreciate that you don't cram everything into one lesson too. This is a very complex product and you have made it easy enough for me to actually start using it right away.

Thank you for the tutorials.
I am learning this through the 21 day Covid 19 shutdown period here in South Africa.

[bettyeverett]

Love the way you explain things and have fun while doing it. I watched another channel about Inkscape and I just felt lost and overwhelmed. Thanks for sharing.
