Hope everyone enjoys reading it!
Thanks!! I “love” it lol. I have a few others that are for adobe but I am sure they can be converted to inkscape. That might make my family enjoy this site more.

Hi Susan,
I will look into those.
Hi everyone.
I am currently in the processs of moving all my tuts to blogspot.com
Susan, the new link for the Valentines day Hearts tut is here at: http://diwan-e-ayyari.blogspot.com/2008/03/how-to-create-valentines-day-hearts.html
Ry, will it be a nuisance to you if I tell you to change the link for the compass tut? (It works currently, but if it is possible to change the link, then I will also move that tut to my new address)
Thanks!

Dear friends,
I find this blog really interesting, but a big drawback is that I did not find which license is used by the tutorials.
My opinion is that it would be nice using some Creative Commons license for the whole blog and put it on a visible link in the homepage.
I have translated some tutorials into Catalan and would like to publish them into the website of Softcatala (www.softcatala.org) a non-profit NGO that translates software (mainly free software) into Catalan. I have a deep respect for the creators of these tutorials and would never publish them if I’m not allowed to do it.
Will you use such a license for your blog? Who can I ask for permission to publish some turtorials?
Best regards from Catalonia

Hello,

I’ve just written this tutorial on making a smooth wave shape starting with a triangle. It’s much easier than drawing by hand and gives a smooth finish.

Hi !
First congratulations for this site.
I have a suggest. I wanna start in the webdesign world.. so I would like work with Inkscape. My doubt is in how to make a web design layout. Could be possible a tutorial aobut this ?
Thanks
Could someone do a tutorial for drawing swirls and flourishes please? These seem to be very fashionable in crafting and advertising at the moment.
Me again. I’ve written a few more Inkscape tutorials (http://hereshowididit.com/tag/inkscape/) including drawing an orchid and simple speech bubbles.
Please feel free to use any of them you think would be useful. Most have SVGs available for download to accompany the tutorial.
Cheers,

Hello Inkscape,
I would like to know does Inkscape has the ability to mix photos together with some music in the background? I would like to try out Inkscape, so hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks in advance.

Could you create a tutorial for how to modify the standard barcamp logo at http://barcamp.org/SpreadBarCamp and create something like http://barcamp.org/BarCampLondon5 or similar. Just basically modifying the standard one?
Yikes!
It’s not like me to overlook replies to my messages. But somehow I did not see your reply to my 2-28-08 message. Sorry ryan, I’m really, really sorry. Because I do SO appreciate the list of tutorials that you made, following my suggestion! And I did notice the topic thread at InkscapeForums.com (which I think is a sticky/pinned now). I use the list every time I visit this site (which is fairly often). It meets my needs in every way. Thank you very much!
Also I wanted to suggest a tutorial on how to use tiled clones to create a webpage background, using Inkscape. Ideally this would include the proper code for the webpage. I have learned basic html, but am still quite fuzzy about xml. However, I’m up for learning whatever is appropriate
I have found these tuts:
–create a desktop background by tracing bitmaps and overlaying them
http://inkscapetutorials.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/create-a-desktop-background-by-tracing-bitmaps-and-overlaying-them/
and
–Episode 004 – Create Tiled Clones by heathenx
http://inkscapetutorials.wordpress.com/2007/06/16/inkscape-tutorial-by-heathenx-create-tiled-clones/
and
–A Vine Design – A Tiling Example
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/TilePattern.html
The 1st and last of those don’t quite extend to getting the background on a webpage. And I can’t seem to get heathenx’s screencast to display. Granted it may come down to spending some time troubleshooting to get it to play. But it would be great if this topic is addressed in written form somewhere.
Thanks for your help. And especially thanks for the list of tutorials. It really is a great resource!

I have been searching for a tool that can be used to design furniture. I worked with Blender briefly but found that 3D visualisations aren’t necessary. I then found Inkscape. I fumbled and stumbled my way through a successful drawing that I was then able to use when working with wood.
It would be very interesting to see how someone knowledgeable would tackle a similar project. For example, a drawing of cabinet, chest of drawers or a bookcase with specific dimensions that would be used as a cutting guide. If there where then some way to create an exploded view of the same project, that would be great.
In advance, thanks.
I’m trying to draw a cobblestone or slate garden path. So it is an irregularly patterned region bounded by Bezier curves (not symmetric). Is this even possible without drawing each individual stone and shading it?
I did this tutorial a little while ago showing a quick method for creating tribal-esque in inkscape. I’m not sure if it’s worth linking to, but it’s worth a shot.
How do i perform import a raster image (example a tiff image file) into inkscape & convert it into a vector file (example dxf) ?

A tutorial on designing websites with Inkscape.
How to make letter stencils. I plan to use Inkscape to make 1 inch tall letters in acetate that I can use to spray-paint text onto my bike. Right now, I am trying to figure out if Inkscape supports outline fonts. If it does, that would probably make this task pretty easy.
I want to know how to draw a large barroc windows and a wall with a text like graffiti. That’s all. Thanks in advance.
I would like tutorial on how to save and manage the files in Inkscape.
It totally confuses me and I just want to be able to figure out how to save images
as png or more commonly used files I use like jpg, tga know its possible but I can’t remember how.
The import/export and save as sections confuse me too.
A guide on how to do pie charts would be great (even better if you could import the figures/amounts but i doubt that’s possible)
As others requested, I’d love a simple tutorial on raster image vectorialization. I work with cad software and I spend entire days copying buildings design from jpegs. By the way thanks for this great soft. bye bye

Im very new to inkscape and I downloaded it because I bought a Cricut and there are a lot cute files in SVG format. However, I can not find a simple tutorial how to open an SVG file in inkscape and separate all the pieces in the file and save it so that when I open it in SCAL (SURE CUTS A LOT) which I use with my cricut, they remain SEPARATE.

I’m having a huge problem with the simplify path function after creating a vector, I would like to see an alternative to this, which I know has just got to be out there. As it stands now, I might as well just trace the path myself from scratch, that’s how many nodes there are to delete and adjust.

Cool guestbook, interesting information… Keep it UP. excellent site i really like your stuff.C
You guys do a wonderful job! Keep up the good work!!!
This is a wonderful tool, but I am missing a basic concept, and think it would help me, and many others to understand how to work with an ai formatted file if one wants to use one of the portions of the file. Several files I have downloaded have beautiful design elements with complex backgrounds and all I want to work with is the actual design element, not the element and the background. i had read somewhere to drag the item to the swatches palette then save it (in AI) as an image, but haven’t been able to accomplish that in Inkscape.
Thanks!

I’m pretty new at this and I was going over the tutorials. Is there any that does any kind of graffiti art or that elaborates more on the current tutorials?
@Lety T.
Could you elaborate please?
What I mean is there’s certain tools that are used during some of the tutorials, and they tell you to use them, but they don’t tell you what they do overall. I hope it makes sense x.x I was also wondering if there are any brushes or anything similar like in photoshop that would help with certain effects?
@Lety T.
Did you consider reading documentation so nicely linked from Help menu?
Hi I am interested in whatever possibilities the software has when it comes to reading greek fonts, unix or opentype, as programs as Illustrator do not seem to cope with them. I need a software that reads greek fonts and has the possibility to outline them, as adobe calls it, or convert to curbs as corel calls it.
@Konstantin
Yes, Inkscape supports Unicode fonts including those containing Greek alphabet.
P.S. I always found it best to download application and see for my self
Hi, I wanted to know if you could make a tutorial on seperating colors for silkscreening on Inkscape? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks a bunch.
Hi BigRich,
Inkscape is very suitable to make stencils for silkscreening. I write a short step-by-step instruction and publish that shortly. It is very similar to inking comics.
For now:
1. Use only black and white in your end product
2. Draw the outlines as vectors on one layer
3. Duplicate and move all objects that you want colour filled to a separate layer (one layer per colour). You can move objects to other layers by Shift-PageUp / Shift-PageDown. You must create layers first (use the layer menu).
4. Add the fill to the objects on those layers (left click with the cursor on the colour paletter) or by use of the paintbucket. Either reduce the stroke width or use a small offset to ensure that the fill continues up to (or under) the outline layer. Note: all objects are to be filled with black only to quarantee optimum quality of your stencil.
5. Hide and show each layer when printing your transparency film.
Note: of course you should optimize your printing area. If your stencil can hold multiple objects for your print there is no need to move the objects to separate layers persay (or hide those layers during printing).
I hope this provides enough info for a quick start.
Cheers,
Syllie
Syllie,
Thanks for the tips…I’ll give it a try and see what I come up with.

Hey!
I love your program, and heard from a firend that you can make garment patterns and grade it. But i cant find out how.
So, if you could make a tut about that, it would be awesome for all textile freaks like me
Im a fashion studnet from sweden!
Thanks
Hi Linda,
When you talk about garment patterns, I assume you’d want to draw patterns on grid marked paper? Are there specific requirements for that?
If I remember my mums sewing patterns correctly, there were always multiple size patterns drawn on the same sheet. The Inkscape path offset features would be awsome for that. If you provide me with a few pointers I’ll see what I can come up with.
Cheers,
Syllie
I know I’m going to hear about this, but since I cannot find one on logos I thought I’d ask if there are any logo tutes around? And in asking for this I would be a firs-timer when it comes to Vector-ing.
Hi Rich,
If you just type in “Logo design Inkscape” in any major search engine, you would find quite a few of them. I write tutorials (also on request) but I find it hard to imagine what a “logo design tutorial” would teach specifically. Vectors are size independent and for that reason outstanding to do vector creation, but there is nothing really special further.
The hardest part about logo creation is finding a good concept that works with the company name and suits the company mission. And the only other aspect is to take the target media into account (web only, or also for physical forms / brochures etc).
If you have something particular that needs to be explained in a tutorial, perhaps you can elaborate on that and we tutorial writers can take that into account.
Cheers,
Syllie
As I know it’s possible would you create a video that shows how you can use Inksape. To make at lease make a bodice for pattern making ( that is garment making) Basically I want to see how to move from point to point in cm’s. For precise pattern making. Regards, Abigail

How to draw the human body. Torso, head, arms, legs, hands, feet: everything.
Seconded. There’s a lot of fantastic tutorials here, but at the moment I am trying to find a tutorial for smoke or steam and it’s a little unwieldy to search through all of this information. It’s very rare that I need to stumble upon things to do with inkscape – I’m usually trying to figure out how to perfect a particular part of a vector.
What specifically are you looking to do? I think that could be a fun tutorial to make. Smoke and fire? Steam from a pot? Anything specific in mind?
I am working on a business card for my catering company. I have a sketch drawn by hand of an open winged dove. I am struggling in my attempt to recreate that dove with inkscape. Is there any way to show a tutorial on creating an open winged dove, where I can still alter it to how I drew it by hand? Or can I upload a scan of my hand drawing and alter the image? I really appreciate any feedback. It is an open winged dove, with head/beak to the left.

I’ve launched a new wordpress site for Inkscape (end gimp and scribus) absolute beginners.
Here are the three “formers” link :

http://www.freenambule.com/2010/09/26/inkscape-01-decouvrir-linterface-partie-2/
http://www.freenambule.com/2010/09/30/inkscape-02-rond-mignon-tutoriel/
It’s for French (and written in french) but I hop it could help the ones that don’t dare to take a try to Inkscape.
(and sorry if my english is awful).
have a nice day !!

SUGGESTION:
A tutorial on how to set Inkscape’s default settings. This is something users would find useful. However the panel might be too daunting for some users.
Example: Under Inkscape Preferences (Shirt-Ctrl-P) is “Interface”. I’ve finally tinkered with “Zoom correction factor (in %)”. I put a ruler up to my monitor and adjusted the % until the lines on the screen matched the ruler.
Now when I display a piece of paper at 8.5 x 11, monitor displays the paper exactly. No more need to print things to make sure the size is accurate.
I’d like to make a brochure. I’ve used vector programs to make brochures but I can’t find a template I can use for inkscape.
I found several good tutorials at youtube,

The caster also got a blog,

I just looked at an Illustrator tutorial and used the concepts from it to make my own. I created a tutorial on how to create textures in backgrounds and text only using Inkscape.

Did another tutorial for creating wallpapers.

Just completed another tutorial:

This is for creating a grunge business card
I would like to see more tutorials on making scroll saw portraits
I’d love to see some “vectorize a person” tutorials, to add the pop-art style to a photo of someone. Even something simple like “convert a photo to a 4-tone image” type tutorial would be welcome!
is this one what you are after?

Hi!
I would like a tutorial on how to create an vector egg-shape out of this formula:
(x^2+y^2)^2=a*(x^2)+(a-b)*x*(y^2)
a=4, b=3.2
When b is 3.2 the shape is most like an real egg. When it is 0 the shape is a circle.
I got this from this site:
http://www16.ocn.ne.jp/~akiko-y/Egg/index_egg_E.html
He has written a C++ program that takes the formula and produce a bunch of numbers that can be imported to Excel and converted into an egg-shape. But it is not vector, and I would very much like to have an actual vector graphic from this formula.
Is that possible?
Kind regards
