Inkscape Explained in 5 Minutes

Inkscape is a free and open source vector graphics editor, similar to Adobe Illustrator. In this video I'll be providing a brief overview of what vector graphics are, how they're used, and how you can use Inkscape to create them.

I like the fact high quality tutorials exist for free and open source software. Great work, Nick!

I like the fact that he started talking about raster graphics and vector graphics instead of just jumping into the interface without any context. Not only did he explain Inkscape in 5 mins, he also established himself as a reliable instructor

Learning _english_ and *graphic design* at once, thanks Nick.

The way you structure these tutorials along with your voice and tone is just amazing in my opinion.
The perfect Inkscape tutorials.

Thanks, Nick. I've viewed every video and have enrolled in your Master Class, which I revisit frequently. Your tutorials are a treasure!

I used this software very superficially in a graphic design course in high school, and the first impression it gave me was that it was a mediocre program, but watching more tutorials about it, learning and increasing my interest I realized that Inkscape can be an extremely professional level tool. Watching this video and discovering yourself at the same time has opened my eyes to how powerful Inkscape is. Thank you.

I don't think I'll ever make money with graphic design (doesn't seem compatible with my career, but you never know) but I bought your master class because I appreciate your effort to promote this free (as in speech and as in beer) software and help people get the most out of it. We need more people like you. I've been enjoying the course a lot, too. Already learned plenty of features that I never dreamed existed.

Must say, you are amazing.
I started using Inkscape when I was 17 or so, and lost grip on it completely, recently I got back to it and your videos helped me a lot.
I designed my own firms logo, and use it on a regular basis to creat banners, and advertising art works and what not.
