Inkscape Video Tutorial

Welcome to my Inkscape Video Tutorial! Inkscape is an amazing program that is almost as good as Adobe Illustrator, but it is FREE!

Because I'm going to be drawing interfaces and making games very soon I thought it would be very important to show how to create those designs. Inkscape is the perfect tool for drawing them.

In this tutorial I cover what all of the buttons do and I teach you how I remember all of the shortcut key codes. Many more videos are coming until I have covered everything.

Five seconds in and I appreciate the upbeat tone you're bringing to the table.

Holy moly, you don't spend the first 5 minutes of your videos with overlong intros/prefaces, you're straight into! Thank you so much, good sir.

Inkscape seemed so overwhelming, and this video is so helpful! I'm starting to feel more comfortable with this drawing tool, thanks to you!

I am new to Inkscape and this tutorial was super useful. The content, examples, the voiceover ... all worked so well together. Thank you Derek :-)

This video is just too good to be true.

Forgetting fact that your one is great - I just appreciate the straightforward manner in which you delivers the information. "1-2-3 this is what it does and why." I see so many "tutorials" filled with so much fluff talk, I can't even get through them! Thanks for the brilliant lessons!

Hi Derek, after watching your tutorial, I sigh and hear myself say: "Will I then finally be able to actually, I mean really get the hang of Inkscape and make my dream come true?"
Thank so much Derek! :)

If anyone doesn't have the wrench icon, this may be of help to you.
You'll see a double arrow icon where it should be. This is because the window resolution couldn't fit all the icons.
You might be able to see the rest of the icons if you press F11 to go into fullscreen.

I'm currently making Android tutorials and Android related tutorials while doing a C Tutorial. After I finish the C Tutorial, which I will soon, I will hold a vote. The tutorial will be either J2EE, C++, Ruby, or Electronics. You will decide the winner. I will continue making Android tutorials as well and with in the Android tutorial I will cover things like connecting to an outside server and other things.

I'll cover more on grids in the next video. Sadly there is no way to save the window interface. The next video will be up on Monday and then the next on Wednesday

Wow!  What a professional presentation!   Thanks for taking the time.  I think this is exactly the way Inkscape should be explained to get started.  Your examples were accurate and matched your words.  There was the right touch of showing how the tool worked and options available.    Thanks!!

Simple, Well worked, Well Explained, Interesting, Informative... Thank you for making this.

I like your style. The videos are clear, are easy to follow, are not too fast, have space for pausing, have no bloat talk, and are  fun to listen to.

[vickiamos]

I can't tell you how much this has helped me. I realize it's been 5 years since you created this video but I am late to the party, but at 67 years sometimes it takes time to catch up. Am going to watch your others.

[AndrewJames]

A very informative and fun tutorial series. Awesome!

[shakaama]

oh my god you did this? i've been subscribed to you all this time and didn't know?

[Ttimes]

OMG! All these years I've been switching between Linux and Windows so that I can use Corel Draw, but here we have Inkscape which is so similar. From the key strokes to the guidelines and handles etc it's almost as if I'm watching a Corel Draw tutorial.

[derekbanas]

These tutorials have been fun because I get to just talk. Since I've used Inkscape for so long I don't have to think to much about what I'm doing so I can have some fun. I'm glad you found it useful. I was a bit goofy in part 3, but I decided to just keep the goofy stuff in the video. I'll upload it as soon as possible

Great beginner's tutorial. Thanks a lot.
