Every software needs a guy like you and a guide like this. Not joking. 👍

I recently found this video and was so surprised to find you actually do begin at the very beginning and explain thoroughly as you go. I started casually watching it until I got to about 30 minuets and realized I was not really retaining much. So I started over and am trying to duplicate in Inkscape the things you do in the video and find each and every icon and etc. It's taken me several day of doing this--as well as taking notes as I go along--and I'm all the way up to Copying and Cloning! Not fast, but I'm really learning and I so appreciate you clear teaching and visuals that make it all happen. Thank you 😊

This app is certainly more intuitive than Illustrator. In just the first 20 minutes, I was able to grasp the essentials, which I had struggled with in Illustrator. Thanks to the tutor, it was really easy to understand. He truly added value to Inkscape.

I have been searching relentlessly for tutorials in how to use INKSCAPE. Yours top my list! You speech is in clear, understandable english You explain in detail, and the explanations are essential and focused. I am definitely going to go through some of you other tutorials. Are they based in version 1.3.2?👌

Just discovered Inkscape this month. Enjoyed watching the video, learned a lot, and for the first time got the feeling I can fulfil my very limited needs with Inkscape. Very good tutorial, clear and detailed. Very good tutor. Thank you so much 😀😀

[tinalisapattern]

Thank you so much for all that work. Incredible. I am in the sewing community and many want to use Inkscape to alter or tweak sewing patterns. I will recommend your deep dive, whenever asked for advice in the sewing groups. I found the shape builder so helpful for that. May I add, that shape bulider also works with lines, as long as the lines end outside the path I want to cut. What is neat, it does not take away lenght from the path. The nodes where cut are on top of each other. 🥰🤩

I got away from graphic design years ago. I used Adobe Fireworks to show that age. I need to design a digital screen and am so glad I found Inkscape. My graphic preference has always been vector. I am hyper fixated on learning as much about Inkscape as I can.

[marvelartisticdesigns]

I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude to the Inkscape Mentor for the incredibly detailed and understandable guidance on using the application. Your explanations were comprehensive and easy to follow, which has significantly enhanced my understanding of Inkscape. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
