I’m falling rapidly inlove with inkscape. You’ve added a whole new level to the intensity. Great work brother.

I've seen that logo in this video for years and I finally thought this is the video of how this logo came to be. A deconstruction-reconstruction video. Alas, I guess I'll have to wait a couple of more years until someone does it.

Wow! I’m learning something new every time you post a video. Thank you so much, and have a wonderful holiday!

Loved it, Could you make a video on how to turn an image into watercolor flowers. Thanks.

This is great! I just wish it were a Live Path Effect, so I could update the shadow more easily...

[brainangles]

Cool - it's similar to CorelDraw extrude tool. Thanks. Stay inspired!

If you group after rotating, the blur direction will apply rotated without having to make new objects. Though in this tutorial it doesn't matter.

Hi, could you make a tutorial in which you create a corrugated matte wallpaper (or brick) style canvas in which in the center you have a picture frame (like the starmaps) to which natural light reaches with its respective shadows? please

will you teach us about glossy and glow effect

[_justgrant]

Nice! What was the need for turning it sideways?

[Mythologos]

Hey, crazy request here: could you make a video showing how to get the "diffused light" effect best exemplified by the famous poster for Star Trek The Motion Picture (1979)? I'm certain it can be done with vector gradients, but I can't figure it out. Thanks!

Hi Rick, I have been trying to create a mockup with an all overprint design on a throw pillow and just cant get it to work. Do you think you could make a tutorial like this for me ?

[untellectuallycorrect]

Love your videos... You've really helped and inspired me to use inkscape...i primarily use silhouette studio because I've learned how to use it for what i do efficiently... I use a lot of gradients and repeating patterns.
It's it possible to save the gradients to inkscape or do i just have to have a gradient file i add them to?

Hi Rick,

I bought a flower from the svg repo site, I added it to the canvas, I made the paint box Alpha, it didn't paint the whole thing, it paints section by section as a space between them. What am I doing wrong, does the object have to be a jpg?
If I learn this method, I will make offset very easily.

Is there a way to contact you about a design style I’m trying to achieve on Inkscape? Thanks!
